Martinez Security

Martinez Security is a private military company featured as the player's faction in Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault.

Midway Incident and Defense of Tokyo
Martinez Security was partaking in a military demonstration at Midway Island with the 7th Fleet and the JSDF at Midway Island before the first engagement with the Valahia, when unknown military forces were detected on radar. After the first attack by the Spiridus at Tokyo, Antares Squadron and Rigel Squadron joined up with the SDF to defend Japan from the Valahia. After the Orgoi's destruction however; Rigel Squadron deserted from Martinez Security over to the Valahia, while Martinez Security itself joined with other PMCs to form the IUPF, which was created by Andre Olivieri.

Valahia Crisis
After the formation of the IUPF, Martinez Security proceeded to fight the Valahia in Egypt, destroying two silos, and the Middle East when Antares One rescued an IIAO officer, before making several devastating blows to the Valahia in Europe by destroying the Spiridus, which they had been chasing since Tokyo, the Balaur, and preventing them from obtaining fuel for their nuclear missiles that they planned to use to launch to the U.S. and Europe, pushing the Valahia back to their HQ. Finally, Martinez ended the Valahia after infiltrating the old missile silos the Valahia had captured and destroying the command center in it, killing Nicolae Dumitrescu in the process, and subsequently, ending the Valahia.

Golden Axe Crisis
The Golden Axe Crisis started after the destruction of the Valahian-controlled nuke silos. Antares Squadron (Martinez Security M42 Squadron) learned of the Golden Axe Plan from Varcolac Squadron, during the air battle over the silos. Following the mission, Antares Squadron left the IUPF in order to stop Andre Olivieri's heinous plan.

As Antares Squadron was making repair-and-refueling efforts, the Golden Axe Plan Private Army dispatched three Orgoi-class airborne fortresses to make sure that the M42 Squadron didn't hinder their plans. Despite overwhelming odds, the Antares Squadron destroys all of the fortresses and their escorts.

Antares Squadron then initiates a joint attack against an enemy missile base in Nevada and the second Spiridus. The Sprirdus II (as it is commonly referred to) is equipped with the READS radiation defense system. READS is used to protect the Hi-TASM launch ports located on top of the Spridus. Martinez ground forces attacking the missile base in Nevada launched cruise missiles powerful enough to disable READS, giving Antares an opportunity to attack the Hi-TASM. Both the Spiridus II and the missile base are destroyed after intense fighting.

Finally, Antares Squadron heads to San Francisco to stop the Golden Axe Plan Private Army from causing extreme damage to the city. The United States Navy 3rd Naval Fleet Commander then provided reinforcements to Martinez Security's forces. Antares Squadron destroys all Golden Axe forces. However, Varcolac Squdron arrives in the prototype aircraft GAF-1 Varcolac. Varcolac Squadron makes an attempt to shoot down and destroy Antares 1, but to no avail. After a long fight, Antares 1 shoots down and (presumably) kills all members of the Varcolac Squadron, including Sulejmani. Antares 1 then destroyed the data center underneath Olivieri Industries, killing Andre Olivieri himself in the process.

The Golden Axe Crisis ended with the destruction of the underground data center.

Trivia

 * Rather ironically, the logo of Martinez Security bears a resemblance to the Valahia's heavy command cruiser  Spiridus during the attack on London as the M is the ship and the S is the electrolaser cannon
 * Both of Martinez Security's Fighter Squadrons are named after stars (Antares, Rigel, Canopus)
 * M42 is also a designation of a cluster of stars in the sky, including Rigel.
 * The Martinez Security logo can be seen in Ace Combat Infinity's first mission cutscene along with the Axe and Hammer Industries logo.
