The Special Operations Task Group (Acrean: Spesielloperasjonsgruppe, abbreviated SOG) is a special operations force of the Acrean Armed Forces. It was first founded in 1942 as a deep reconnaissance and covert direct action unit. The unit performs a variety of missions, including special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, direct action, hostage rescue, foreign internal defence, unconventional warfare, and raiding. Originally organised under the Army, the unit was combined with amphibious raiding units of the RAMC in 1955 to constitute a joint special operations unit.
History
SOG traces its lineage back to a variety of Stormjägare units of the Acrean Army and RAMC which date back to the Kunhegyes Conflict and Ruvelkan Civil War. These troops, colloquially called Stormers (a name later inherited by Acrean heavy mechanised infantry), pioneered infantry infiltration tactics and were tasked with performing the spearhead of infiltration missions, during which they frequently conducted focused small-team direct assaults and trench raiding. As the use of these tactics became a larger focus in Acrean infantry doctrine and was integrated on a broad scale, the original battalions formed a highly experienced and extremely well-trained core. By the 1920s, Stormjägare was as synonymous with the term "raiders" as it was with "shock troopers". When mechanisation began in the Acrean Army in the 1930s, many troops from these battalions were retrained as mechanised shock troops. Those that remained were withdrawn from their original battalions and reorganised into a few numbered battalions (which were never close to battalion strength) under the name Special Task Group (SAG), with each battalion specialising in different mission sets. These battalions were reorganised into a singular regiment in 1942, forming SOG.
