Martinez Security was a private military company that appeared in Ace Combat: Joint Assault.

History

Although the previous history of Martinez Security is unknown, it was a major private military company formed in the 21st century, being one of the most recognized entities in the field.

Martinez's forces were divided into several military branches, including a ground branch, a naval branch, and an air force division, and this aerial division is large enough to necessitate the use of AWACS operators.

The workforce of the company was composed of agents and employees from various countries, including the United States, Japan, Sweden and the United Kingdom. A number of members were also former professional soldiers from various countries.

Valahia Crisis

Years after the economic crisis in the late 2000s, Martinez Security was approached by the United States Armed Forces to conduct a joint military show with the U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet and Japan Self-Defense Forces in the Pacific Ocean, near the Midway Island before the first engagement with the Valahia, when unknown aerial raiding forces were detected on radar.

After the Balaur's first attack by the Spiridus in Tokyo, both Antares and Rigel Squadrons joined up with the J-SDF to defend Japan from Valahia's attacks. During the operation, Rigel Squadron defected to the Valahia before the Orgoi's destruction at the hands of Antares. After defending Japan, Martinez Security joined with the other PMCs to form the International Union Peacekeeping Force, which was created by Andre Olivieri.

After the formation of the IUPF, Martinez Security proceeded to combat the Valahia forces in Egypt, Croatian Adriatic Sea and the Middle East when Antares Squadron rescued an officer working for the International Insurance Auditing Organization named Mr. Leblanc, before dealing a massive blow to the Valahia by destroying the Spiridus in London, which they had been chasing since Tokyo.

After the destruction of the Spiridus, Antares Squadron proceeded to target the stand-alone Balaur and destroyed the enemy fortress in Romania, a large radar site in Serbia, and prevented the Valahia forces from getting nuclear fuel for their missiles that they planned to launch towards the U.S. and Europe, pushing them back to their headquarters in Central Asia.

Finally, Martinez Security infiltrated the old missile silo the Valahia had seized and destroyed the control center from the inside, killing Nicolae Dumitrescu in the process and subsequently dismantled the Valahia. The Golden Axe Plan crisis started after the destruction of the Valahia's headquarters. The M42 Squadron learned of the Golden Axe Plan from Varcolac Squadron during the battle over the silo's airspace. Following the mission, the M42 Squadron left the IUPF to stop Olivieri's plan.

Golden Axe Plan Crisis

As Antares Squadron and Canopus were making repair and refueling efforts in the Midway Island, the Golden Axe Plan Private Army deployed three Orgois and MiG-29 Fulcrums to take out the M42 Squadron because they knew the truth about the GA Plan. Despite those overwhelming odds, Antares destroyed all of the airborne carriers and their escorts.

Antares Squadron initiated a joint assault on the abandoned airport in Sierra Mountains and the new Spiridus in Lake Tahoe. The new Spiridus was equipped with a unique electromagnetic radiation, protecting the Hi-TASM launch ports from air attacks. Ground units from Martinez Security attacked the airport and used its missile facility to fire powerful missiles to disable READS, giving Antares an opportunity to destroy the launch ports. Both the new Spiridus and the missile facility were destroyed after an intense fighting.

Finally, Antares Squadron headed to San Francisco to stop the remnant forces of the Private Army from attacking the city. Then, the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet Commander Davis provided backup and Antares Squadron destroyed all Golden Axe Plan forces. However, Varcolac Squadron arrived in their new super fighters, GAF-1 Varcolac. Varcolac Squadron attempted to shoot down Antares, but to no avail. After a long battle, Antares took out the entire Varcolac Squadron, as well as Sulejmani after an extensive personal engagement. Then, Antares destroyed the underground data center at the Olivieri Life Insurance headquarters, killing Olivieri himself in the process.

The Golden Axe Plan crisis ended with the destruction of the underground data center and the details of the GA Plan being seized and exposed to the public.

Trivia

Every unit from Martinez's air force is named after stars.
Rather ironically, the logo of Martinez Security bears a resemblance to the Spiridus during the attack on London, as the M is the ship and the S is the electrolaser cannon.
Martinez Security's logo has made cameos in later Ace Combat games:
- In a wallpaper for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy, an F-22A Raptor piloted by Phoenix is seen shooting down an Su-37 Terminator with a faint Martinez Security emblem.
- In the cutscene prior to Great Migration in Ace Combat Infinity, the logo is displayed as one of the companies in that universe using Advanced Automated Aviation Plants.

 ===Valahia Crisis===
-Years after the economic meltdown of the late 2000s, Martinez was approached by the United States Armed Forces to conduct a military exercise with the Seventh Fleet and the [[Japan Self-Defense Force]]s in [[Midway Island]] before the first engagement with the [[Valahia]], when unknown 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|Orgoi's]] destruction, Rigel Squadron defected from Martinez Security to the Valahia, while Martinez Security itself joined with other PMCs to form the [[IUPF]], which was created by [[Andre Olivieri]].

During the operation, Rigel Squadron defected to the Valahia before the [[Orgoi]]'s destruction at the hands of Antares. After defending Japan, Martinez Security joined with the other PMCs to form the [[International Union Peacekeeping Force]], which was created by [[Andre Olivieri]].
-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.
-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 real plan.
+After the formation of the IUPF, Martinez Security proceeded to combat the Valahia forces in Egypt, [[Croatia]]n [[Adriatic Sea]] and the Middle East when Antares Squadron rescued an officer working for the International Insurance Auditing Organization named [[Leblanc|Mr. Leblanc]], before dealing a massive blow to the Valahia by destroying the Spiridus in London, which they had been chasing since Tokyo.
-As ''Antares Squadron'' was making repair-and-refueling efforts, the [[Golden Axe Plan Private Army]] dispatched three [[Orgoi]]s to make sure that the M42 Squadron didn't interfere their plans. Despite overwhelming odds, the ''Antares Squadron ''destroys all of the fortresses and their escorts.
+After the destruction of the Spiridus, Antares Squadron proceeded to target the stand-alone Balaur and destroyed the enemy fortress in [[Romania]], a large radar site in [[Serbia]], and prevented the Valahia forces from getting nuclear fuel for their missiles that they planned to launch towards the U.S. and Europe, pushing them back to their headquarters in Central Asia.
-''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 Security 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, Martinez Security infiltrated the old missile silo the Valahia had seized and destroyed the control center from the inside, killing [[Nicolae Dumitrescu]] in the process and subsequently dismantled the Valahia. The Golden Axe Plan crisis started after the destruction of the Valahia's headquarters. The M42 Squadron learned of the Golden Axe Plan from [[Varcolac Squadron]] during the battle over the silo's airspace. Following the mission, the M42 Squadron left the IUPF to stop [[Andre Olivieri|Olivieri]]'s plan.
-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]] Third Naval Fleet Commander Davis then provided reinforcements to Martinez Security forces. ''Antares Squadron'' destroys all Golden Axe forces. However, Varcolac Squdron arrives in the superfighter [[GAF-1 Varcolac]]. Varcolac Squadron makes an attempt to shoot down Antares One, but to no avail. After a long fight, Antares One shoots down and kills all members of the Varcolac Squadron, including [[Sulejmani]]. Antares 1 then destroyed the data center underneath Olivieri Life Insurance HQ, killing Andre Olivieri himself in the process.
+===Golden Axe Plan Crisis===
-The Golden Axe Crisis ended with the destruction of the underground data center.
+As Antares Squadron and Canopus were making repair and refueling efforts in the [[Midway Island]], the [[Golden Axe Plan Private Army]] deployed three [[Orgoi]]s and [[MiG-29 Fulcrum]]s to take out the M42 Squadron because they knew the truth about the GA Plan.
