Field Marshal Robert Bingham was the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during World War III. A stoic, calm Englishman, he'd "rather be tending to his dogs and rose gardens, if his way of life wasn't under dire threat". Rational, realistic, decisive and at times witty, he is often at odds with the brash American President Ackerman.

[edit] Role in the Allied Campaign
He was one of the few senior Allied commanders in Europe not captured by the Soviets as they overran the continent, and recruited a young commander fresh from military school to defend England. Later, he negotiated an alliance with the Soviet Union against the threat posed by the Empire of the Rising Sun. When President Ackerman threatened to undermine the pact with the Soviets by preparing to fire an intercontinental laser at Moscow, Bingham solemnly ordered his elimination. He allowed Soviet scientist Dr. Zelinsky to defect, and ordered an investigation into Soviet activities in Cuba, and the subsequent liquidation of that threat. Under his leadership the Allied forces successfully prevented the defeated Soviet leadership from fleeing into space, stopping them at Leningrad.
[edit] Fate from Other Perspectives
During the Soviet Campaign, the General was killed along with his entire escort by a Soviet ambush en route to a supposed peace talk with the Soviets on Easter Island (see The Stone-Faced Witnesses).
In the Imperial Campaign, he was seen being told by Dr. Zelinsky of the time machine. Presumably he was killed in the final Japanese assault on Amsterdam, when they destroyed the Allied VIP Bunker.
[edit] Uprising
It is possible he survived the events of The Moon shall never have them.
[edit] Behind the Scenes
During Operation The Shark and the Lure, Lieutenant Eva mistakenly refers to the Field Marshall as "General Bingham".
Bingham was portrayed in Red Alert 3 by Jonathan Pryce.
