The
New Eridu Defense Force is a military organization nominally under the
New Eridu City Administration, although it has been shown that they are
de facto indipendent and with many internal struggles,
[1] with the Mayor only holding so much sway over the army leaders.
[2] The NEDF have three main responsibilities: Deterring external threats, containing
Hollows, and expanding into new territory.
Not much is currently known about the Defense Force. They operate Scott Outpost, helping protect New Eridu by containing Hollow Zero. They have also been seen working in conjunction with H.A.N.D. and take their place when a Hollow grows too unstable for H.A.N.D. to manage, mobilizing a strike team to quickly suppress the Hollow by eliminating every living creature inside it.
Rebel Soldiers are rogue members of the Defense Force who act for various private interests, or have defected.
Gameplay Notes
For the purposes of Faction-based effects, all Agents across New Eridu Defense Force squads are considered to belong in one faction. For example, Soldier 11's Additional Ability: Fields of Fire can activate with Soldier 0 - Anby, despite them being from different NEDF squads.
Hierarchy & Members
Typical Defense Force squads consist of light infantry (Jaegers), heavily-armored assault units (Gunners), and armed tactical mechs (Strikers, Rovers, Guardians, and Typhons).
Although Eridu Defense Force once had multiple divisions, all but the Obsidian Division were wiped out when the Old Capital was destroyed by Hollow Zero.[3]

Notes
- ↑ Although the English localisation uses "Wade" as a reference to both the name of the squad and the name of a person within said squad, the original Chinese text is much clearer that it's solely the squad that is called Wade.
- ↑ Within the comic-book segments and dialogue of Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night, it is explained that Orpheus is the name of the original soldier, with Magus being the codename. Orphie did not exist at this point.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Given the info we are provided, and how severely corrupted they were ten years ago, Lyre Squad is assumed deceased or turned into Ethereals.

Isolde: (WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle) was appointed by the city as a technical advisor and envoy for Mayor Mayflower, Sir. (He'sHe'sText for Wise / She'sShe'sText for Belle) here to assist and oversee the Defense Force's operation.
Major General Lorenz: Assist, huh...? If the High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit had shown up in person, perhaps I'd consider that worthy.
:Major General Lorenz: And as for the "supervision"... Since when does Mayflower get a say in when Obsidian Division pulls the trigger?
Isolde: Sir, (WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle) is only here to assist Obol squad. This has nothing to do with the main force's operations or command.
Isolde: All part of the agreement to keep the city council from meddling with our military affairs in Waifei Peninsula. Which, I imagine, suits you just fine?
Major General Lorenz: Of course, your arrangements are always right on point, Colonel. This whole operation is running smoothly thanks to you.

Magus: But since both men died during the Waifei Peninsula attacks, a public trial has been put on hold for now. Neither the military nor TOPS wants to damage their public image.
Orphie: At least they got what they deserved!
Magus: Defense Force Headquarters also disciplined and demoted several high-ranking officers who were entangled with the factions and engaged in misconduct for years... reportedly due to pressure from Mayor Mayflower.
