Before serving as President, he served as the 3rd Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, serving as the highest-ranking military officer during the summer of 2020's Wilden War along with serving in this capacity during the War on the Rebellion, including conflicts involving Dixieland.

Enlisted Years

Returning to the Vinish Army as a Corporal, Joshua Ryan was put under the command of then-Colonel Robert Smith. As he progressed, he would find success under Smith. First as a sniper in Smith's infantry and next as a team leader. Ryan would continue to climb through the ranks, reaching Staff Sergeant. At the time, the Department of Defense was having struggles with retention leaving very few bodies at Fort Bragg. Because of this, Ryan would make connections early on with people such as Jon Schmitty and Doughnut Sprinkles. General Sprinkles, who was Chief of Staff of the Army at the time, would select Joshua Ryan to become a Drill Sergeant.

In his position as Drill Sergeant, he would focus on recruiting new enlistees into the V.N. Army, working under General Jack Specter who was TRADOC Commander at the time. Soon after General Sprinkles would leave his office as Chief of Staff of the Army, General Derek Scott would return to his position as the V.N. Army's Chief of Staff. Under General Scott, Ryan would achieve an immense amount of success and would be promoted directly from Drill Sergeant to Sergeant Major of the Army.

In his capacity as Sergeant Major of the Army, Joshua Ryan would serve as the field commander of the V.N. Army's re-established Delta Force. Due to the increased tensions with Wilden at the time, the Office of the Army Chief of Staff deemed it necessary to re-establish a special operations unit in order to conduct special reconnaissance and small-scale raids on possible targets, both foreign and domestic. Despite the increased tensions, Delta Force would never see combat during this time period and it's activity would decrease.

Close to 3 months after he would be made Sergeant Major of the Army, Joshua Ryan would be selected to join the Vindex Intelligence Agency under Director Anton Dre Marks. This would be Ryan's introduction to the agency, going on to serve with the agency once more before his presidency. It was also during his first-time at the agency where he would begin to associate himself with members of the Alumbrados and would become a member of the group. As an agent in the VIA, Ryan would focus on counter-terrorism efforts and would often deal with cases involving biological weapons.

It was also during his time in the VIA where he would begin making connections within the Wellington Administration. Because of these connections, he would be appointed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by President Wallace Wellington. Ryan would be the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to serve as a General, the two prior to him both Admirals.

The SAS would be under the supervision of General Ryan however the field commanders of the task force were kept classified.

The same rebels responsible for the construction and operation of the Rebel Fleet would go on to construct Fort Dixie, a star-shaped fortress that served as the capitol of Dixieland.
