And before he says anything about Yui being an IRG officer flying over to Project PROMINENCE, it's absolutely not the same thing. There's a world of difference between an IRG officer working in weapons R&D being sent over by the Japanese side to oversee TSF development with the US as the Japanese representative under the blanket of a UN R&D program (in which case she's still under the IRG, being sent by them as a representative), and the idea of transferring as a squad member into a selective dedicated UN military unit used solely for Alternative IV-related ops which can be deployed above the law where the normal dedicated UN military is not allowed to intervene, essentially having its own agenda and command structure independent of the rest of the UN, which as already explained doesn't just simply take transfers from outsiders like that.

It is fanfiction, though. He can do whatever crazy things he likes and there's not problem with that.
