Captain '''George "Catman"<ref>Birch's call sign is not mentioned in the episode, but is included on [http://www.scifi.com SciFi.com's] [http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/episodes/episodes.php?seas=2&ep=0206&act=2 episode summary]. It is also displayed in the credits from the [[Battlestar Galactica - Season Two (Region 2 DVD)|UK DVD release of Season 2]].</ref> Birch''' is a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilot on the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''{{RDM|Galactica}}''.

After the defection of Captain [[Lee Adama]], Commander [[William Adama]] promotes him from Senior Lieutenant to Captain, making him [[CAG]] in Lee's stead. Although the elder Adama values Birch for his dedication and loyalty, [[Saul Tigh]] believes he is too inexperienced for the position.

Birch proves Tigh's fears to be well-founded when he endangers the life of [[Louanne Katraine]] during a target exercise in an asteroid field, and fails to keep the vessel ''[[Striker]]'' from colliding with a tanker during a fueling operation {{TRS|Home, Part I}}.

His callsign is listed on a pilot duty roster after the [[Second Exodus]] {{TRS|Six of One|Someone to Watch Over Me}}.
