Major Stridan's ability treats all buddies at ranges 2-3 as range 1, so that means even the range 3 allies will work with this card.

It helps in two situations:

1) Treat the Attack [Target Lock] header as Attack.  This affects Ordnance, but might affect other cards in the future.  Essentially the buddies can fire TL ordnance without spending the lock (so they can fire without a lock, or save their lock for rerolls).  This doesn't spend Stridan's lock.

2) If a game effect has them spend a target lock, they can spend Stridan's instead.  So if they want to reroll attack dice, or activate another game effect that spends a lock, they can spend Stridan's lock instead of needing one of their own.
