=== The History of the 105th Airborne Crusaders ===
The 105th Airborne Crusaders were created as a swift military response to the bioterrorist attacks on Los Angeles in -13 BA. The squadron is formed by " those men and women who kept a personal relationship with our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ and allowed the Holy Ghost to guide their rifles true." It is mentioned that many of the members of the unit were former members of the 101st Eagles, which probably refers could refer to the 101st airborne unit Airborne Division (nicknamed the "Screaming Eagles") currently serving in Afganistan and Iraq.
The men and women chosen for the unit were first put through an extensive, grueling training regime. Those who remained after the selection process were eventually shipped to southern Syria for "months of vigilan(t)" military service. Notably, the website states, "For the first time in our active service, our faith became the sword instead of just the shield.", emphasizing the religious motivations of their campaign in Syria, as well as signifying the cohesion of Church and State in the new Administration.
