DEFCON Year New Generation: Leigh Barton

Chapter 13

A mere twelve hours later, Leigh and her squad were showing the way to civilian evacuees out of China due to the unrest caused by President Barnes' revelations at the UN General Assembly about corruption in the Chinese authorities. And this meant several countries from the Allied side of World War III had altogether decided to set up a NEO from four different airports in China to evacuate the foreign nationals there.

As Leigh was guiding civilians to the plane, she couldn't help but smile at how the US Military benefits increased during World War III thanks to then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice-President Kamala Harris, even if the gear didn't change much, since the war showed no big change was required for the hardware, just some welcome upgrades. But the Biden-Harris duet had made lots of efforts to improve the situation for Americans from 2021 and 2025, finishing the job between 2025 and 2029 as they promised during their 2024 bid for reelection.

Those efforts also reflected their leadership in times of war due to the American military having gotten better training and better leadership than before. The Biden administration also made remarkable efforts to create more jobs than ever before and during World War III, leading to America being back. But President Barnes had the US Marines finish the job.

And finish the job, that's what Leigh and her men wanted. And to finish the job, like the Biden administration did, Leigh now needed to direct the evacuees from the buses, which were escorted by Australian and Polish special operatives to the cargo planes, where the crews took over.

As Leigh was walking on the side of a file of a refugees, she saw a group of USAF SF members standing guard with their M4A1 carbines while US Infantry Marines were leading the evacuees to the cargo door of a C-17 belonging to the Australian Air Force while several other evacuees were led to several cargo planes. Leigh was now accompanying civilians until she and her team stopped before the USAF SF members, who took over in escorting the evacuees.

"Alright, Airmen. Let's finish the job. President Biden did it between 2024 and 2028. We'll do it again under President Barnes." A female USAF officer said.

"Got it." A USAF Airman replied.

Leigh then led another group of evacuees towards another cargo plane before Australian airmen took over the job of seating the evacuees in the C-130J Super Hercules while the C-17 took off under escort while UH-1Y Venom, MH-60S Knighthawk and UH-60M helicopters were hovering over the surroundings of the airport to provide sniper cover for force protection element, enabling the whole forces to finish the job properly.

Leigh and her team were then relieved by Polish commandos who motioned the Americans to get onto rooftops to act as snipers and observation troops.
