Dynamite is the code name used by Argentinian Hector J. Garrido. Garrido was born in The South American country of Argentina. It is unclear if he serves in the US military or is on temporary exchange from Argentina. Not much is known of his life before Sgt. Savage took command of Garrido and five other highly-trained, undisciplined sergeants, to form the Screaming Eagles.
