Overstreet was Colonel Tanaka's next in command and assumed her duties when Santiago Singh relieved her of her post. Overstreet called Tanaka a mentor. At that time, Singh told Overstreet that he'd submitted a promotion for the major to lieutenant colonel.
Overstreet implemented for Singh the crackdown that Tanaka objected to. terrorist acts persisted. At the direction of Singh, Overstreet posted a report containing security procedures that the insurgents managed to capture.
Overstreet toured the aftermath of the insurgent mass exodus plot. Singh resolved to address the problem by executing non-loyal residents of Medina. Overstreet then informed Singh that Tanaka had passed down to him a standing order to make an example of Singh if he should violate the code High Consul Winston Duarte had laid down for how to treat the civilians of Medina. Overstreet terminated Singh.
Major Overstreet was later transfered to the Notus to join the newly appointed Governor of Auberon, Biryar Rittenaur, as his head of security[1].
Whilst in the capital city on Auberon, Overstreet was assasinated by a criminal organisation as part of a secret deal done with the Governor to keep crimes committed by his wife a secret from the Laconian Empire for which the punishment would be death. Overstreet would have been able to eventually discover these crimes so was gotten rid of, to be replaced with local non-Laconian security forces.
