He's also a well-disciplined and well-trained soldier, like other Briggs Bears. Miles has a position second to that of General Armstrong, and as such, he takes command of Briggs should she be absent. This indicates that despite his position as a soldier that Miles has no tolerance for unnecessary cruelty, a sign of true soldier who only acts upon violence for the safety his fellow citizens. Kimblee's sadism is shown to both try Miles' patience as well as sicken him. This sense of justice and pride for Ishval has made Miles act coldly towards Kimblee, for he knows that the alchemist is a deranged murderer responsible for the deaths of many Ishvalans. Miles also has a strong sense of justice and will not hesitate to kill an enemy, though he was reluctant to kill Scar, signifying a sense of pride in his people. Though seemingly cold at first toward the Elric brothers, he begins to accept them and treat them as Briggs soldiers, especially after Ed saves some people from one of Sloth's attacks. Originally uncertain of how he would be treated as an Ishvalan, Miles fully embraces his heritage and has made it his life's mission to change how the public views Ishval and his people. He is also compassionate towards his fellow soldiers and will do anything to ensure their safety.

Miles, like all of the Briggs soldiers, is very loyal to General Armstrong.
