FYI - it says they are one of the ways you can get troops
The text as a whole for who might be the PC's (sorry for how its formatted - copied it right out of the preview)
Europe: The characters were evacuated
from Europe or found a way home on
their own. Upon arriving in North
America they moved steadily west, eventually
landing on Vancouver lsland
where they were recruited by the DRI.
Middle East: The characters decided
they wanted to go home, and after
searching around, found a vessel that fit
the bill. Their boat was wrecked or ran
aground off the west coast of Vancouver
lsland and the characters were subsequently
picked up by the DRI.
Korea: The characters were members
of the 8th US Army (or of allied Chinese,
South Korean, or Australian units), and
after leaving Korea by boat, were shipwrecked
on Vancouver island where
they were recruited by the DRI.
North America: The characters were never sent out of
North America. They may have served in the Pacific Northwest
theater of the war. After the collapse of the warring armies,
the characters found their way to Vancouver lsland where they were recruited
It also offers a tip that if you start a campaign there (i.e. begin your game there with completely new characters) then they would be from the 3rd Canadian Scottish Regiment which broke up just east of Vancouver, British Columbia in mid-2000
