Say hello to Bad Company, my invincible army!

—Keicho to Josuke, Chapter 278
Bad Company (
Description
Bad Company appears as a group of 60 Patchwork soldiers, an uncertain amount of Green Berets (possibly part of the 60 soldiers), 4 helicopters modeled after the Boeing AH-64 Apache, and 7 tanks modeled after the M1 Abrams[2], all armed to the teeth and dressed similar to American G.I.s. Much like the figures they are based on,[3] all the units in Bad Company are scaled down to size and resemble something like sentient toys.
They serve Keicho without question, but are shown talking to one another and making very careful maneuvers.
Abilities
Bad Company is the first swarm type Stand to be featured in the series. Thus it is composed of many individual elements that are weak but whose power adds up and that do not transfer individual damage to the User. It is not known if killing all the soldiers, helicopters, and tanks would kill Keicho too, but no mention of the fact is suggested.
Bad Company is an imposing force in combat since it is able to deploy a great amount of firepower despite its size but also can use subtle military tactics. Commanded by the meticulous Keicho who uses the confined space of his house to trap Josuke, Bad Company proves to be highly dangerous.
Military Firepower: Bad Company is a group of hand-held soldiers and war vehicles and are equipped as such. Each of Bad Company's soldiers is armed with a M16 assault rifle, a parachute, and a combat knife[4]. The Green Berets have the same equipment as the soldiers, but with the addition of a rappelling rope to allow them to climb objects[5]. The helicopters are armed with machine guns and missiles[4], and the tanks have scaled-down shells[4], in addition, Bad Company is also equipped with land mines[6].
Although the reduced size means they aren't as powerful as a real army, the weapons of Bad Company are still dangerous. The infantry's miniature M16s are able to punch through human skin, creating small but deep bullet holes[4]; a land mine's blast is enough to severely wound a leg and a pair of missiles from one of the helicopters was enough to disable Crazy Diamond's arm[6].
Yet, Bad Company is at its most effective when all of the army fires at once. Defensively speaking, the disciplined fire of the infantry which Keicho describes as a "wall of steel" can shoot down any projectile as long as they have the time to see it coming. Offensively, the combined fire of the infantry and all the vehicles creates an onslaught of projectile able to blast away a wall[5]. However that method commits all unit to offense and leaves Keicho defenceless to attacks. Thus the army couldn't shoot down a missile Josuke sent back to Keicho as they fired on the former[6].
