The Gaia Defense Army, or GDA for short, is Earth's global military defense force. Although they employ more traditional military tactics and technology than the CENTINELS Planetary Secret Service, the GDA makes up for it by having the numbers needed to defend every corner of the globe at once, and thus GDA forces can be found almost anywhere on Earth ready to fight the GEATHJERK invaders.
While the GDA and the CENTINELS are separate organizations, they are in full cooperation with one another and work together constantly to ensure the safety of Earth, from collaborating on research to supporting each other in combat at a moment's notice.
GDA forces appear regularly throughout the game and are interacted with in numerous missions, either by offering combat support to the Wonderful Ones in a variety of ways, or seeking help themselves. GDA Soldiers are also a notable source of "civilian" recruits, particularly in boss levels where GDA soldiers airdropped into battle are often the only source of temporary recruits available.

Trivia[]
- In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of Earth.
- The GDA armored transports seen in the Prologue and Epilogue are based on the armored transports seen in the first Bayonetta game. Likewise, the GDA Warship being piloted by Arthur Wedgewood in Operation 006-B's flashback sequence is almost identical in appearance (externally) to the Valkyrie Military Transports also seen in Bayonetta.
