[edit] McConnell's Past

McConnell is a young man from Florida. He travelled all around the state with his father and his joining the 101st Airborne Division seemed to be the first time he ever separated from him. He was moved to England to train for the initial invasion of Normandy, "Operation Overlord." At this time McConnell was a Private and lead 1st Squad's Assault Team. He was a close friend of Paige.

[edit] Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood

Due to the terrible misdrops the airborne suffered McConnell was often stuck with members of 2nd Squad. He is seen once with Cpl.Campbell, Private Will Paige and Col.Johnson, when he was still part of the 1st squad, that was broken apart: the only survivors were him, Cpl.Campbell and Pvt.Paige.

After Hartsock is promoted to 2nd Squad's leader, McConnell was part of the assault team along with Pvt.Winchell and Cpl.Paddock

When Corporal Seamus Doyle from the 82nd recruited Paige for a recon mission, McConnell insisted to come with him because "if there's someone who's gonna shoot at Paige, It's gonna be me".

Probably will still be in the assault team of Hartsock's squad.

[edit] Misc. Info

McConnell is most often seen in the games using the M1A1 carbine from the early stages of D-Day to the later stages of the battle of Normandy, even though he is rarley seen holding another weapon.
