Joint Special Operations Command

The Star Corps Special Operations Command (SCSOCOM or SOCOM) is the division within the Star Corps charged with overseeing various special operations of the Orion Nero Initiative. The SOCOM has three branches within its division that specialise in a specific area and operate independently, but when the different branches work together, the SOCOM becomes the joint component command of the operation.

Joint Communications Unit
The Joint Communications Unit (JCU) is a reconnaissance, intelligence and surveillance group which provide intelligence offices who have expertise in communications, automation, electronics maintenance and logistic specialities. The role of the JCU is to use the intelligence gathered from previous operations to create target packages or target operations for ground teams, while also aiding them in battle by monitoring enemy movements and positions through RQ-9 Reaper drones or other means.

Special Operations Detachment
The Special Operations Detachment (S-O-D) is a special ground operations force that is designed to be deployed and execute seven primary missions: Unconventional warfare, direct action, information operations, security force assistance, combat search and rescue, hostage rescue and manhunts. The secondary mission of the S-O-D is to assist the 7th Infantry Division in fighting against the ACS aggression.

Combat Support Group
The Combat Support Group (CSG) is a special operations force that is designed to be deployed in assistance to the Special Operations Detachment, executing four primary missions: counter proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, demolition of target sites, and sniper support. The Combat Support group is only deployed as an attachment to an Special Operations Detachment team, and is never deployed alone.
