Special Operations Detachment

The Special Operations Detachment (S-O-D) is the Star Corps' premier light infantry unit and special operations force within the Special Operations Command. The regiment is headquartered at Kiko Air Base, and is comprised of three troop platoons.

With specialized skills, that enable them to perform a variety of operations, the S-O-D's primary operations are:


 * Executing direct action raids in hostile or sensitive environments
 * Killing or capturing high value targets.
 * Airfield seizure
 * Special reconnaissance
 * Personnel recovery
 * Clandestine insertion
 * Site exploitation.

Organisation and Structure
The Special Operations Detachment is divided into three platoons numbered 1 to 3, but represented by the NATO Phonetic Alphabet:


 * SOD Alpha (S-O-D 1)
 * Anvil Team
 * Granite Team
 * Onyx Team
 * Viking Team


 * SOD Bravo (S-O-D 2)
 * Joker Team
 * Zealot Team
 * SOD Charlie (S-O-D 3)

Each platoon, generally led by a Major (O-4), but may also be led by a Captain (O-3), is divided into four teams of enlisted soldiers, called Special Warfare Operators. Each platoon also has a Junior Lieutenant (O-1) or Lieutenant (O-2) as an adviser or field commanding officer in some circumstances. Each team consists of six soldiers, which is usually led by a senior enlisted soldier, usually a First Sergeant (E-8), sometimes a Master Sergeant (E-7). The rest of the team is made up of E-4 to E-6.

With six soldiers in one S-O-D team, there will usually be one designated marksman, one field medic, one grenadier, one automatic rifleman, one rifleman and a team leader.
