7[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mikepowell.png]]
8
9A [[{{Ranger}} US Army Ranger]] in the 1st Ranger Battalion, tasked by the OSS to rescue a British agent during Operation Torch. He's later made a part-time agent of theirs thanks to his actions in North Africa. Late in the war, he's again reassigned to the 2nd Ranger Battalion fighting in the Western Front.
10----
11* {{BFG}}: Steals an [=StG=]-44 assault rifle shortly before his attack on Schmerzen.
12** Before that, he gets to use a BAR during the mission into the bocage.
13* BodyguardingABadass: Part of the objective in the first mission is keeping Major Jack Grillo alive. However, unlike most EscortMission [=NPCs=] in ''Allied Assault'', [[MajorlyAwesome Grillo]] actually has a decent amount of health and is a good shot with his MP-40, and can clear several rooms of the main fortress on his own.
14* ChekhovsSkill: Avoiding spotlights, taught by Major Grillo in the first mission.
15* {{Determinator}}: Whether it's sinking a prototype U-Boat in the middle of a heavily guarded base or destroying a German fort from the inside, ''nothing'' will stop Mike Powell.
16* DressingAsTheEnemy: He does this when infiltrating the U-Boat facility in Norway, and later when preparing to attack Schmerzan he does it again to infiltrate an armory where he steals an [=StG=]-44.
17* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's a member of the 1st Ranger Battalion, although he's transferred to the 2nd before Omaha. Additionally, he's also an UsefulNotes/{{OSS}} operative.
18* {{Expy}}: He's quite similar, in terms of weapon preferences and sniper skills, to ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan's'' Pvt. Jackson. Heck, he even travels in locations similar to where the Private did, and manages to take out German soldiers with his Springfield in pretty much the same ways.
19* HeroicMime: Doesn't say a word throughout the game. There ''is'' a quote at the end of the second mission that is thought to be him speaking, but it isn't proven.
20-->'''American Soldier:''' [[BringMyBrownPants "I think I wet myself."]]
21* ItsUpToYou: Frequently happens, and it's occasionally invoked by Colonel Hargrove during the briefing sessions.
22** First mission: Powell's entire squad is decimated[[note]]It's technically possible to save Private Allen and Private Wilson, though it requires to constantly guard Allen, as due to his lower health he's usually one of the first to die, and be quick to eliminate the straggler who usually kills Wilson.[[/note]], leaving him alone in a German-occupied town to complete their objective: Free SAS Major Jack Grillo and help him complete his own mission.
23** Second mission: Grillo's cover is blown and he's killed, leaving Powell alone to infiltrate a German U-boat facility in Trondheim, destroy the Naxos prototype and sink the U-529 U-boat.
24** Third mission: Though Powell is storming Omaha with the rest of the army, he's the only one who made it inside the bunker and is in place to eliminate the machine gunners. In the following missions, should Captain Ramsey and the paratroopers[[note]]"Battle in the Bocage": Private Durden and Private Cobb. "The Nebelwerfer Hunt": Sergeant Harrison and Private Tomlin.[[/note]] be killed in action, it will be up to Powell to complete the mission.
25** Fourth mission: Though the French resistance supplies him with a shotgun, Powell is alone to divert German troops and storm the manor.
26** Fifth mission: As Powell is the only one with a sniper rifle, it's up to him to protect the Allied King Tiger crew from the German snipers hidden in Landenau, and later prevent the Germans from destroying the bridge in Brest.
27** Sixth mission: Powell is mostly alone to attack the fortifications and towns along the Siegfried Line, up until the attack on Schmerzan where a squad of veteran Rangers accompany you in the initial stages of the siege, after which it's all up to Powell to find a way to level the fort.
28* OneManArmy: After his entire squad is killed in Arzew, Powell single-handedly infiltrates the German-occupied city and frees Major Jack Grillo, completing both his and the SAS officer's mission. He later goes on to infiltrate a German U-boat facility on his own, successfully destroying their Naxos prototype and sinking the U-529 before escaping the facility that is now on high alert, storm Omaha Beach and clear out one of the bunkers on his own, helped the French resistance in Dubuisson and infiltrated a highly-guarded manor and ensured the survival of the Allied King Tiger crew throughout the sniper-infested ruins of Landenau. Finally, when news of Fort Schmerzen's reconstruction reached the OSS, they decided that they needed to destroy it once and for all. [[OneRiotOneRanger So they sent Powell,]] who managed to infiltrate a German manufacturing plant to steal one of their new [=StG=]-44 assault rifles and its blueprints after destroying their stockpile, cut off Schmerzen from the world and reduced the fort to rubble.
29* PlayerCharacter: Of ''Allied Assault''.
30* WalkingArmory: At several points, Powell carries enough firepower to mow down dozens of German soldiers and destroy several armored vehicles.
31* SniperDuel: In "Sniper's Last Stand", Powell makes his way through the shelled-out ruins of Landenau, France, which is crawling with snipers.

38Powell's commanding officer during his time in the 1st Ranger Battalion. He commands the rescue team of Rangers tasked with rescuing Major Grillo from the hands of the Afrika Korps.
39----
40* TheCaptain: His actual rank, and also plays this role for the Ranger rescue team he's in charge of.
41* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He's suddenly killed in an ambush alongside two other Rangers just as he's ordering Powell to cover their advance.
42* {{Expy}}: He looks remarkably similar to [[Film/SavingPrivateRyan Captain Miller]], down to having the same weapon.
43* TheLeader: Of the Ranger rescue team tasked with finding Major Grillo.
44* RedShirt: He gets no development whatsoever, and dies rather unremarkably when German reinforcements arrive and attack their position.
45[[/folder]]
46
47[[folder:Major Jack Grillo]]
48[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grillo.png]]
49
50A British SAS major, friend of Col. Hargrove, and whom Powell must rescue during his first mission in North Africa. Following their first successful mission together, he leads a plan to infiltrate and destroy the Naxos system in Trondheim, Norway.
51----
52* BadassDriver: He's really skilled at handling a Jeep, and this skill allows him and Powell to successfully attack the German airfield and get away.
53* DressingAsTheEnemy: He did this to infiltrate a U-Boat complex sometime before the second mission begins.
54* DroppedABridgeOnHim: A German sniper kills him just when it seems that he's about to successfully open the gate to the Trondheim base.
55* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He was a member of the SAS.
56* LanternJawOfJustice: [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110227003939/medalofhonor/images/b/bf/Maj_Grillo.png Just look at it!]]
57* MajorlyAwesome: A Major in the British SAS, who's also a BadassDriver.
58* MauveShirt: The first mission establishes him as an old friend of Colonel Hargrove and a cool and competent infiltrator who isn't all that different from Powell. He's killed off in the beginning of the second mission.
59* TheMentor: To Powell. He teaches him tactics that would help him whenever he's TrappedBehindEnemyLines, such as sneaking past searchlights.
60* MentorOccupationalHazard: He dies helping Powell get into the Kriegsmarine base in Norway.
61* MildlyMilitary: His original appearance was rather casual for an SAS military officer, and consisted of a brown jacket over a brown-green sweatshirt, along with light brown pants and brown shoes. Even when he was disguised as a German officer, he lacked a cap, and still had his beard.
62* PermaStubble: He even keeps it during his brief disguise as a German officer in Trondheim.
63* SacrificialLion: Dies shortly into the second mission.
64* StealthExpert: In the first mission he easily sneaks you past the German watch lights, and he's the one who teaches Powell about evading spotlights.

70
71Powell's superior officer during the Omaha Beach landings on D-Day.
72----
73* TheCaptain: Of Powell's unit during the Omaha Beach landing. It's also his actual rank.
74* {{Expy}}: His role and appearance are obviously based on Captain Miller from ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', down to surviving the beach landing and helping clear out the German defenses.
75* MauveShirt: He's one of the few Rangers given some characterization, and is the SoleSurvivor of the platoon that Powell landed on Omaha with.
76* {{Ranger}}: Like Powell, he's a member of the 2nd Ranger Battalion.
77* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Capt. Ramsey.
78* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Powell kills the last German machine gunner during the first part of the Omaha Beach level, he's last seen tending to wounded US soldiers and is never seen again afterward. Though, given that the Ranger Captain accompanying Powell in Fort Schmerzen has the same voice, it's very likely it's him.

82[[quoteright:265:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ramsey_aajpg.jpg]]

87-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveBulen
88----
89* TheCaptain: Of Powell's unit during the later two Normandy missions.
90* CharacterDeath: He can be killed during the Newbelwerfer hunt, with no penalty on the player's part.
91* {{Expy}}: Of Captain Miller from ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan'', in terms of role, appearance, and weapon preferences.
92* MauveShirt: Has the most screentime and lines out of any of the other Rangers thus far, and even accompanies Powell deep into the bocage. He can even get killed without any penalty whatsoever.
93* {{Ranger}}: Like Powell, he's a Ranger.
94* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Captain Richards and the Captain from Omaha Beach.
95* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: If he survives the mission in the bocage, he's never mentioned again.
96[[/folder]]
97
98[[folder:101st Airborne Paratroopers]]
99American Paratroopers who missed their drop zone during the Airborne landings early on D-Day. Several of them are encountered by Lt. Powell and Capt. Ramsey on their mission to destroy German artillery guns near Omaha Beach. Their names are Pvt. Paulsen, Pvt. Durden, Pvt. Cobb, Sgt. Harrison, and Pvt. Tomlin.
100----
101* {{Expy}}: To the 101st Airborne Paratroopers from ''Film/SavingPrivateRyan''. Like them, they end up assisting a team of Rangers in fighting Waffen-SS soldiers and their armored support. They are also rather unimportant to the plot, and can even die just like most of them did during the film.
102* ItsRainingMen: They're part of the 101st Airborne Division, and dropped in Normandy early on D-Day. Unfortunately for them, they landed way off-target, with many of them getting scattered along German-occupied territory.
103* RedShirt: All of them can get killed by the Germans, with no penalty whatsoever on Powell's part.

111[[caption-width-right:150: From top: Medic Glenn, Engineer Campbell, Sgt. Hammon]]
112
113A tank crew trained by the OSS to handle a King Tiger tank. Their mission is to link up with Powell and help him acquire and later drive one of the tanks in question into Brest. They consist of Sergeant Hammon, Engineer Campbell, and Medic Glenn.
114----
115* AllThereInTheManual: Like the G3 pilot, their names will only appear should they be killed.
116* {{BFG}}: Hammon and Campbell both carry a [=BAR=] with them throughout the mission.
117* TheEngineer: Campbell.
118* EscortMission: Powell is supposed to accompany and protect them from German snipers and other threats until they can make it to the King Tiger. Later, Powell is again tasked with protecting them and the captured tank from a platoon of Tiger I tanks [[spoiler: and one German King Tiger]] once they reach Brest.
119* TheMedic: Glenn. He will heal Powell whenever his health is below a certain amount. He can even heal the other members of the crew should they be hit, and on occasion, even himself when he is gravely injured.
120* TheLancer: Hammon, since he's the second-highest ranking soldier next to Lt. Powell.
121* VehicularTurnabout: They've been trained to operate the King Tiger tank by the OSS thanks to the tank field manual that Powell captured in "The Command Post". During "The Day of the Tiger", they accompany Powell and commandeer a King Tiger from a German field HQ, where they drive it across the French countryside and use the tank to capture a vital bridge near Brest.

134
135A G3 pilot TrappedBehindEnemyLines that Powell must rescue and escort to Manon.
136----
137* AllThereInTheManual: The only way to find out his name and rank is by getting him killed (And therefore, failing the mission).
138* ContinuityNod: He's the pilot of the G3 agent you're sent to find in the original ''Medal of Honor''.
139* EscortMission: Powell is tasked with rescuing and bringing him to a French Resistance safehouse near his plane's crash site.
140* LivingMacGuffin: The OSS and French Resistance want him back in Allied hands, while the Germans planned to interrogate him for vital intelligence.

157[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jackbarnes.png]]
158
159A [[ItsRainingMen Paratrooper]] in the 501st Regiment, 101st Airborne. Late in the war, he's reassigned to the OSS, where he's tasked with helping the Soviet forces during the Berlin Offensive.
160
161-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GaryOldman
162
163----
164* CrewOfOne: He can operate crew-served weapons and even a ''T-34 tank'' by himself, in sharp contrast to Powell, who needed three other crew members to operate the stolen King Tiger.
165* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: He's from the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne from Normandy to Bastogne. He later gets reassigned to the OSS late in the war.
166* ItsRainingMen: He's a paratrooper, and the first mission starts with him jumping out of a plane.
167* ItsUpToYou: Not unlike Powell, circumstances force him to complete objectives. Especially true in the Berlin level, where he has to sneak behind German lines alone in order to retrieve important intel.
168* PlayerCharacter: Of the ''Spearhead'' ExpansionPack.
169* SuddenlyVoiced: The only PlayerCharacter in the trilogy to actually speak, albeit only in cutscenes.
170* TrappedBehindEnemyLines: Pretty much all of his missions end up with him having to make it through German lines, sometimes alone and without support.
171** In the Normandy level, he's separated from the rest of his fellow 101st Airborne paras early in the D-Day drop. It's not until he encounters Foxhound's unit, that he realizes that he's been dropped ''way'' off target, and is forced to stick around with them for the time being.
172** For the first half of the Bastogne level, he and several squadmates of his are tasked with stealing ammunition and medical supplies from a nearby German supply depot, and then stealing a few German vehicles in order to transport the goods and make it back to American lines.
173** In the Berlin level, he has to make it several kilometers behind German lines in order to recover important intel that would be useful once the War in Europe comes to a close.
174* WarriorPoet: He reads a poem at the end of every mission. Notable in the fact that he's the first protagonist who speaks, even if only at the beginning and ending of each mission.
175[[/folder]]
176
177[[folder:The Captain/ "Foxhound"]]
178[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foxhound_0.jpg]]
179
180The leader of a British paratrooper unit from the 6th Airborne. His and his squad's task is to destroy a bridge being used to supply German forces in Normandy.
181----
182* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The highest-ranking of the British Paras Barnes meets, and the only one who survives through the Normandy mission.
183* BigDamnHeroes: He and his squad of British Paras save Barnes after he gets PinnedDown by German soldiers.
184* TheCaptain: It's in his title. In this case, he's a Captain in the British 6th Airborne.
185* ItsRainingMen: Like Barnes, he's a paratrooper.
186* NoNameGiven: He's only referred to as Captain or his callsign. Even when he's killed, he's still referred to as such.
187* SoleSurvivor: Eventually, he's the only one of the British Paratroopers who survives the D-Day mission unscathed.

189
190[[folder:Pvt. Galloway]]
191[[quoteright:206:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galloway.jpg]]
192
193One of the British paratroopers under Foxhound's command.
194----
195* DemolitionsExpert: He's tasked with handling explosives in Foxhound's unit. Unfortunately, he's killed fairly early, so Barnes has to take over his duty once he and Foxhound reach the bridge.
196* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He's suddenly killed when some Germans, who were hiding in a house, shoot him dead.
197* RedShirt: Pretty much his role is to assist Foxhound and Barnes, then get killed suddenly. It doesen't help that he's wearing a red beret.
198* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets a number of dialogue and assists Barnes for a while, before biting it.
199[[/folder]]
200
201[[folder:Pvt. Wilson]]
202[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wilson.png]]

204Another British paratrooper under Foxhound's command.
205----
206* KilledOffForReal: He's killed when a Tiger tank ambushes him, Foxhound, and Barnes while trying to advance towards a bridge.
207* MauveShirt: He gets a slightly bigger role, and lasts into the final Normandy mission, but he dies just before the final approach to the bridge.
208* WeHardlyKnewYe: He lasts a bit longer than Galloway, but like the former, he dies just mere hours after Barnes meets him.

214A German Colonel in the Waffen SS. He's in charge of defending an important bridge used to supply German troops in Normandy from Allied attack. To be eliminated as part of Foxhound's objectives.
215----
216* ArcVillain: Of the Normandy mission in ''Spearhead''. The local German forces in the area are under his command, and the British Paras Barnes is stuck with are tasked with offing him.
217* CharacterDeath: Barnes shoots him repeatedly until he falls of the balcony of his headquarters.
218* DirtyCoward: Rather than fight Barnes and the British head-on, he elects to flee on a motorbike and have his men finish them off.
219* {{Irony}}: Taunts Barnes and calls him a coward, all the while he's attempting to flee on a motorbike.
220* NonActionBigBad: While he does shoot at you and the British with his pistol, he doesen't put up much of a fight, having his bodyguards do most of the shooting instead.

223[[folder:Captain Monroe]]
224[[quoteright:145:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monroe_aas.jpg]]
225
226Barnes' commanding officer during the Battle of the Bulge. He later acts as Barnes' handler in the OSS during the Berlin offensive.
227----
228* TheCameo: He makes a brief appearance in the final part of the Berlin level on the radio, directing Barnes to destroy an imporant bridge and defend his current position from a German attack.
229* TheCaptain: Of Barnes' company during the Ardennes segment. It's even how he's addressed in the game proper.
230* MissionControl: He acts as one for Barnes during the final part of the Berlin level, directing him via radio.
231* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Radio, rather, but the principle here is still the same, in that he's providing Barnes with useful info.
232* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Inverted, because Barnes, the PlayerCharacter, needs him alive in order to lead a counterattack into Foy later, as well as assist him via radio during the Berlin segment. If he bleeds to death during the 3rd Bastogne level, it's GameOver.

241A soldier in the 34th Infantry Division. During the attack on Bizerte, he's briefly assigned to the OSS as part of an intel gathering mission. Later, he temporarily joins the Glider Infantry during the Sicily Invasion, and later rejoins his old unit upon fighting in the Italian mainland.
242----
243* TheBusCameBack: He returns as a playable character in ''Heroes''.
244* CrewOfOne: Like Barnes, he's capable of operating crew-served weapons and vehicles all by his lonesome.
245* DressingAsTheEnemy: With the help of agent Klaus Knefler, he poses as an Italian war hero named Gino Corelli, in order to infiltrate a German harbor and freighter.
246* ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Averted. He's the only one of three protagonists who isn't from an elite unit, instead coming from the rather less than memorable 34th Infantry Division.
247* HeroicMime: Like Powell, he never utters a single word, not even in cutscenes.
248* ItsRainingMen: He's temporarily assigned to the Glider Infantry during Operation ''Husky''.
249* OneManArmy: Moreso than both Powell ''and'' Barnes. In the Anzio mission, he, all by himself, manages to destroy a German supply convoy, steal vital German intel, capture and then use an armored railcar against its former owners, and then finally blow up two German railway cannons ''and'' an ammunition dump, with several dozen dead Germans in his wake.
250* SoleSurvivor:
251** During the mission to Bizerte, he ends up being the only member of his original unit to survive the canal crossing and subsequent battle in the old prison. As a result, he's the only person capable of accompanying and relieving Klaus Knefler later in the same mission.
252** He ends being the only member of his glider troop to survive the initial drop into Sicily, with the rest having been killed by Axis AntiAir fire.
253* PlayerCharacter: Of the ''Breakthrough'' Expansion Pack and of ''Heroes''.
254* TrappedBehindEnemyLines: Like Powell and Barnes, this happens to him in every other mission.
255** During the last two levels set in Tunisia, after the rest of his unit is KIA, he's forced to undertake the rendezvous and infiltration mission with Klaus Knefler alone.
256** During the Sicily level, he's operating well behind Axis lines against a numerically superior Italian and German force stationed on the island, with only a handful of American and British allies helping him.
257** During the second Monte Cassino mission, he's trapped behind German lines and tasked with rescuing a dozen Allied prisoners being held deep inside the city.
258** The Anzio level has him, all by his lonesome, tasked with destroying two German railway cannons shelling the city of the same name.

261[[folder:Brigadier General Wheaters]]
262[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wheaters.jpg]]
263
264Baker's commanding officer at the start of the Kasserine Pass level. He later oversees and personally commands the American rescue of British prisoners-of-war.
265----
266* AllThereInTheManual: His name is only revealed thanks to his multiplayer model.
267* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Subverted. Just when it seems like he'll be the one leading the Bizerte operation, he's killed by German mortar fire before he can prove himself in combat.
268* CoolShades: He's the only character shown wearing sunglasses, which in this case are a pair of aviator shades.
269* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He's suddenly killed during the Bizerte operation, when his boat is hit by German artillery fire.
270* NonActionGuy: Justified, given his high rank. When he does personally lead from the front, he barely lasts five minutes before being unceremoniously killed.
271

274[[folder:Sergeant Fuches]]
275[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fuches.png]]
276
277A Sergeant in the 1st Armored Division, who acts as Baker's superior during the defense of Kasserine Pass.
278----
279* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: While he is stated and shown to be part of the 1st Armored Division, his uniform bears the insignia of the 66th Infantry Division, which missed the fighting in North Africa and didn't enter combat until late 1944 in the Western Front.
280* TheLeader: Of his tank platoon during the second half of the Kasserine Pass mission.
281* TankGoodness: He commands a platoon of Sherman tanks, two of which are mine-clearing tanks that the player must protect at all costs.

287An officer in the Glider Infantry, and Baker's immediate superior during the Sicily landings.
288----
