Patterson was an United States Army officer during the Battle of Anchorage in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Background[]

Patters was a notorious strike team leader, with the unit being informally known as "Patterson's Suicide Squad."[1] Patterson's unit was under the direct command of General Constantine Chase and operated from Chase's field headquarters. They were killed during a Chinese bombing run on the headquarters during the quest The Guns of Anchorage.

Once the Lone Wanderer completes The Guns of Anchorage, General Chase promotes the Wanderer and gives them command of Patterson's strike team. The player can then organize a strike team, who can assist in completing objectives during Paving the Way.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Notes[]

General Chase refers to Patterson as a colonel.[2][3][4][5] However, Patterson's terminal greets them as "Lieutenant Patterson."[9]

Appearances[]

Patterson is mentioned only in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.
