Major Alan Schaefer, better known as "Dutch", was the leader of the Catachan Jungle Fighters of the Alliance of Nations. Dutch was a specialist in guerrilla engagements and had been posted in the Battle in Catachan, alongside Al Dillon. Dutch was an intelligent and resourceful leader and was both liked and respected by the men under his command. His extensive experience in the military had made him gruff and battle-hardened, but at the same time he was always sure to protect his team from unnecessary risks and always adhered to his strict moral code to only undertake rescue missions.
