Special Operations Force: SHADOW Special Operations Force: SHADOW: The Shadow Project is a fictional concept based on a secret counter-terrorist paramilitary organization. The Backstory: "Shadow" is the code name for a multi-national covert special operations force engaged in Global Counter Terrorism deep within the epicenters of the World's hostile conflict zones. Shadow was founded in December 2001 as a joint project between the UK and the US. The core of the Shadow operation is comprised of 2 Squadrons: Shadow ALPHA and Shadow EPSILON. SHADOW ALPHA is an elite "wetworks" unit created primarily for operations where international tensions have escalated to extremely critical levels and where the remote possibility of failure is not an option. Alpha specialists are often nicknamed "The Black Squadron" or "The Black Ghosts" due to their typically all-black assault kit, anonymous persona and the nature of their objectives. Alpha operations are usually considered a last resort, implementing covert assassination. Most importantly these operations technically "do not exist." The modus operandi of Shadow Alpha is a carefully planned, lightning-quick assault using sheer aggression and force with surgical precision. Alpha operators do not wear any form of identification whatsoever and are non-associative to any specific nationality in order to retain deniability. Alpha operators do not exist on paper, as their civilian and prior military history is entirely classified once entering the organization. SHADOW EPSILON is the heart of the Counter-Terrorist Tactical Operations that handles a broad range of objectives from hostage rescue to tactical demolitions, assault and recon. Epsilon operators are highly skilled and versatile, hand-selected from Elite Counter Terrorist organizations across the world. During each operation, Epsilon is usually divided into 2 main teams designated "Red team" and "Blue team." Each team is assigned specific objectives and mission goals. The key element for Epsilon operations is coordination. Each team carefully takes position striking from all angles simultaneously in order to maximize the efficiency of the planned assault.
