Direct answer
Shane Langston ordered the killings through his corrupt New Age Security team. He had the 110th targeted because they uncovered New Age’s illegal Little Wing missile deal.
Detailed explanation
## Who was behind it?
Langston is the main person responsible for the murders of Reacher’s old 110th Special Investigators, including Calvin Franz, Manuel Orozco, Jorge Sanchez, and Tony Swan. His people carried out parts of the operation, so he did not necessarily kill every victim himself.
## Why did he do it?
The 110th got too close to New Age’s plan to sell Little Wing anti-aircraft missiles to the arms buyer A.M. Langston tried to erase anyone who could expose the deal.
## What about Tony Swan?
Swan was never the traitor. The season makes him look suspicious at first, but he was investigating the conspiracy and was murdered for it.
