Special Operations Detachment

The Special Operations Detachment (S-O-D) is Katona's premier special operations force within the Katona Armed Forces, under operational control of the Katona Special Operations Command. S-O-D and its Katona Air Force counterpart, Special Combat Aviation Regiment, are the Katonian military's tier one special mission units tasked with performing the most complex, classified, and dangerous missions.

Capabilities
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/hostage rescue
 * Clandestine insertion
 * Site exploitation
 * Close protection
 * Intelligence gathering

Organisation and Structure
The Special Operations Detachment is divided into three categories, being assault, reconnaissance, and support:


 * Special Operations Detachment Alpha Platoon
 * Alpha Team (Assault)
 * Bravo Team (Assault)
 * Charlie Team (Assault)
 * Echo Team (Assault)
 * Stalker Six (Reconnaissance)
 * Sierra 1 (Support)

Each platoon, generally led by a Major (OF-4), is divided into four teams of enlisted soldiers, called Special Warfare Operators. Each platoon also has a Junior Lieutenant (OF-1) or Lieutenant (OF-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 Master Sergeant (OR-8) or a First Sergeant (OR-9). The rest of the team is made up from Sergeant (OR-5) to Master Sergeant (OR-8).
