Col. James Hsu

Colonel James Hsu is the commanding officer at Camp McCarran in 2281. He commands all NCR Army operations in the Mojave as well as the base itself.

Background
Colonel James Hsu is a senior officer in the New California Republic Army in 2281, commanding NCR operations in the Mojave Desert from his headquarters at Camp McCarran. He is level-headed and soft-spoken, maintaining a calm demeanor despite recognizing the many problems plaguing his command, believing his behavior to be a necessary part of being a leader and the only real response to circumstances beyond one's control. Hsu knows how to use force to solve problems, but prefers diplomacy whenever possible, as opposed to his counterpart, the hawkish Colonel Cassandra Moore. Ambassador Dennis Crocker recognizes this and appreciates it, preferring to turn to Hsu over Moore in a tense situation where diplomacy might still be possible.

Hsu displays considerable understanding of the political and military situation in the Mojave, recognizing the difficulties the NCR faces. He cares a great deal about his soldiers and Rangers put under his command and works steadily to better their situation. His combination of high competence and dedication with a great deal of modesty has made him well-liked by his men, drawing the ire of General Oliver, who may see him as an up-and-coming rival. Craig Boone speaks highly of the colonel, and remarks that if it weren't for General Oliver's interference, Hsu would have already been a general by 2281.
