This is the opening chapter of Resistance: A Hole in the Sky. I am glad Malikov also alludes to Resistance 3, very few things do nicely overlap in the canon.

I do not think Blake would have made much of a difference in the battle, as acting-Director of Tactical Ops at SRPA 3 he tended to stay out of the line of fire, delivering more reconnaissance than anything else. The only two battles he fought were when he literally had to: the surprise attack on Iceland and Operation Black Eden when there were few sentinels left. When SRPA 3 was attacked he immediately evacuated and you could argue that is what he was doing at Station Igloo as well.

There were many skilled fighters that perished in that battle, it was ill-thought out, I do not believe any of the old Echo Team would have made much of an impact either.

As for the battle being on the 4th July, President Thomas Voss had planned that, more of a political statement rather than anything else.

Thanks for making me look into this, I enjoyed rereading Blake.
