Colonel '''Briggs''' is a member of the [[w:United States Air Force|United States Air Force]] who replaces Colonel [[Jack Sydell]] on [[Air Force Special Detachment One]].

[[Jamie Hamilton]] tells [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]] that she is visited by Briggs earlier that day regarding the two [[Colonial Warrior]]s. Due to his visit, Hamilton tells the Warriors not to use their {{TOS|Viper|Viper}} {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.

Briggs is later on a private jet to [[w:New York City|New York City]], the projected point where the unidentified blip from space (the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons']] new [[A-B Raider]]) will crash land {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.

He later attempts to obtain the assistance of the [[w:New York Police Department|New York Police Department]] in preventing Troy and Dillon from coming to harm, wanting to question them. During his discussion with the NYPD police chief, he is told about [[Andromus]]' destruction of the microwave that started the blaze at [[Arnie]]'s apartment, believing it to be the Colonial Warriors. 

Much to his apparent chagrin, Briggs finds out from [[Norman Blore]] that Troy was at the apartment, but saved their lives {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II}}.
