ATU- Advanced Technology Unit - the premier
commando force of John Connor’s army, tasked with intel, recon, collection of
information and samples of SKYNET’s advanced hardware. Field ops salvaged HKs
and other units for intact technology, brought it back to the forward bases for
study and review and then had it carefully transported to the rear echelon areas
where science teams worked in the best conditions they could maintain in order to understand SKYNET’s technology as well as apply it
for human benefit against the renegade military supercomputer.
John Connor and his ATU came up from Mexico to smash the Austin AFSCC in
04182006AD, that’s when they discovered the real purpose of the Research and
Disposal Centers. ATU was expanded in its role
and mission in 05172009AD and became known as G5ATC or Group 5 Advanced
Technology Command (the first four groups were G1 Recon, G2 Infiltration, G3
Attack and G4 Support). This name was later shortened to simply Tech-Com in
11182014AD. The five different specialist teams continued to operate
within their experience but the core group became more cohesive, with command
and research divisions becoming very streamlined.

"Now, surrounded by his staff, John was coordinating a
dozen major offensives throughout the world via his mobile telecommunications
unit.
Reese had been told that they actually pirated channels off SKYNET's own satellites, knowing the enemy would destroy anything men could put up there but that it couldn't afford to destroy its own global relay system. Reese didn't have a clue how that stuff worked, but that wasn't his job, anyway.
Sarah saw the men crowded together in a pool of light. She saw the figure in the black beret as two of his aides stepped aside. His back was to her. His broad shoulders drooped wearily, but his hands moved with sure strokes, indicating actions on the battle map. She could hear his voice but not the words ..."

FRAGMENT - 0345642345.212 - JOHN CONNOR -
"John Connor" was born in early 1985. He was 10 years old in 1995, 12 years old in
1997, 15 years old in 2000, and 44 years old in 2029 AD when the coalition forces under
his allied command took SKYNET off-line. 01052006AD, at the age of 21, he and Sarah
Connor took a hand picked group of Special Forces and ex-mercenaries up from a
forward camp in northern Mexico, crossed over the US border into Texas and began
to attack Machine holdings there. Connor and his group were able to liberate
stockpiles of advanced weapons and set up secure caches for later campaigns.
The group managed to work their way up through the Texas state territory,
acquiring seventeen new recruits during their trek to Austin where they arrived
in 04182006AD. There, at the Austin AFSCC installation, John, Sarah and a group
of 63 men and women stormed the Austin AFSCC and liberated the prisoners there,
learning first hand of the horror that was SKYNET. Of the prisoners who were
liberated on that day, one was a seven year old boy named Kyle Reese (born best
guess late 1999) who would join Connor’s army and one day play a pivotal role in
the war and in Connor’s life.
