Garrett Sinclair is an officer with the U.S. Army.
He holds the very impressive rank of Lieutenant General, O-9, or the better understood 3-Star. This rank would normally be given someone who could be expected to command corps-sized units of 20-40 thousand soldiers. To put it in a different perspective, in a military force such as the current American Army with its 460,000+ active members, there are just over 40 with this rank and just over a dozen higher.
We learn in a flashback that for a time Sinclair was high up in the Joint Special Operations Command with "responsibility for several dark sites - a euphemism for prisons, dungeons or chambers.
"At six foot two inches with dark skin, I can pass for Arabic with the right headdress"
