-Private David Webster

Trivia[]
- At the beginning of the mission, when the C-47's left engine is on fire, one soldier reported what he found to a pilot named Jimmy. This may be a nod to James Patterson from the previous games, who has experience with the plane.
- The Unknown Radio Operator mentions a Soldier named "Tech Corporal Riesenberger" but the U.S. Army never had a rank called "Tech Corporal". Technician 5th Grade is the rank that was probably meant.
