After initial contact, the Expeditionary Force and the Saints Battle Group reached a temporary agreement to establish a joint command.
Although the temporary agreement did not cover political or economic matters, a substantial military alliance between them had already been formed.
In this temporary agreement, the Alliance showed considerable respect for the Saints Battle Group.
After all, it is a newly formed group.
The joint command sees both sides collaborating, not extremely closely, but it can be considered a co-command.
On actual ground combat, both sides fight side by side, generally establishing who will take the lead in a specific direction or battle; it could be anyone from either side.
Initially, the primary role in ground combat fell to the Saints Battle Group and the Mortal Troops they organized—the Holy War Army.
After all, it was a home game for them; they were familiar with the situation on Guard Star and the enemies.
