11. Judging by the end of one of the interviews, i am relatively certain that after helping Shepard get off Earth, Anderson stays on Earth to lead the remaining forces while Shepard goes for help. He will do this for both positions, as his military experience is always there. So his involvement is small, but crucal. This means it likely wont make a difference of his position, as Udina will just step into his place while he isnt there.
