In the Light Horse, while not ambitious, McCracken rose through the ranks to become commander of the 17th Recon Battalion ("Screaming Eagles"), and its Battalion Command Lance ("McCracken's Highlanders"), of the 71st Light Horse Regiment as of 3025.[2]
A giant man, who while quiet made friend easily, McCracken was also a student of martial arts whose calm competency made him a natural leader.[1]
