• British Army: S.A.S. Bravo Two Zero
• British Army: S.A.S. Warrant Officer Class 1 (Regimental Sergeant Major)

Baker's exemplary performance, on and off the battlefield, during two politically-charged conflicts made him a natural fit for VIP protection duty. He is highly proficient in close quarters combat, and is a world-caliber expert in anti-electronics operations.
