Artist's Commentary:

わずかな時間を見つけて、シリーズを再開してみましたよ。◆サマンサ・ウェルズ中尉（17歳）リベリオン合衆国海軍空母「サラトガ」航空隊所属、TACネーム＜マーリン＞。ストライカーはE-2ホークアイ早期警戒管制機、使用武装はCAR-15カービン、M9拳銃。使い魔はカモメ。士官学校を成績優秀で卒業した優等生。戦闘機隊に配属予定だったが、性に合わないとの理由で前線管制官に転任した。遠くを見渡せる能力に特化した魔眼を持ち、電子機器を併用する事で迅速かつ的確な指示を出せる。コミックヒーローマニアで、航空歩兵を志願した最大の理由でもある。　「敵機反応なし、お疲れ様。お家へ還りましょう」

From what I've been able to to glean from a rough computer translation she's an AWACs witch with a Striker unit based on an E-2 Hawkeye. Hopefully someone else can provide something a little more concrete. It's too bad Solamarle hasn't been around to translate lately -I'm actually a bit worried that something may have happened to him.

I discovered a little free time and tried rewatching the series.
◆Lieutenant Samantha Wells (17), attached to the flight corps of the United States of Liberion Naval aircraft carrier Saratoga, TAC name: "Merlin". Striker: E-2 Hawkeye AEW aircraft. Weapons: CAR-15 Carbine, M9 pistol. Familiar: seagull. An honors student who graduated from the academy with top marks. She'd planned for assignment to the fighter corps, but found that didn't agree with her, so she shifted to front-line air-traffic control. She has magic eyes specializing in the ability to see across long distances. Using these in conjunction with her electronics, she can issue instructions swiftly and accurately. Her greatest reason for volunteering for the flying infantry is her mania for comic-book superheroes.
