The Special Operations Command (SOC) was formed in 1819 as a separate branch of the Fresian Armed Forces for experienced soldiers from the Kaiserliche Armee des Reiches before it was turned over as a branch of the Military Intelligence Agency in 1933 as a more armed response to extreme threats that couldn't be dealt with by normal military means. The Special Operations Command has its main headquarter in Viriwacht and currently has 88,000 operatives under its command and a budget of $9,740,500,000.
Military Structure
A standard SOC Stormtroopers Company consists of 40 Riflemen, 15 Machine Gunners, 5 Radiomen, and 20 Combat Engineers. A standard SOC Mechanized Company consists of 40 Riflemen, 15 Machine Gunners, 5 Radiomen, and 9 BTR-90. A standard SOC Special Air Service Company consists of 60 Riflemen, 15 Machine Gunners, and 5 Radiomen. A standard SOC Armoured Company consists of 6 BMD-3.
Notable Units
The SOC makes many temporary units for certain situations and is usually disbanded once the mission is over but some units are kept active permanently for their foreseeable future due to the experience gained from certain operations. These units are usually made up of the most experienced personnel and form the backbone of these squads alongside their notoriety in Olivicia. However these squads can be deactivated which is normally done when the unit has either served its purpose and are no longer needed or lack the specialized personnel needed to keep the squad operational, this protocol can be enacted upon any of the squads through a vote from a combination of the MIA Director, SOC Central Commander, and Squad Commander. Some notable units currently active are listed below and should be taken as examples of the overall reason why these squads are created but not the specific purpose of all the squads under SOC command.
