Task Force X-Ray was a paramilitary unit formed by the US government as part of the United States Armed Forces during World War II. Their intended purpose was to use assymetrical warfare and sabotage to undermine the Axis Powers. They appear during the story World at War, participating in Operation Pegasus, a coordinated effort to save as many Jews from the Holocaust as possible. 
Task Force X-Ray is considered to be the predecessor to Task Force Sentinel in the 21st century.
==History==
Task Force X-Ray was formed on September 9, 1939, eight days after Hitler's Nazis invaded Poland and started World War II. The task force, under the command of Charles Harms, quickly became a formidable organization as the war progressed. They cast fear in the hearts of the Axis Powers, particularly the Nazis in Europe and the Imperial Japanese Army in the Pacific Theater of the War.
At the end of World War II, Task Force X-Ray was dissolved. However, during the Cold War, its successor, Task Force Charybdis, became the new organization to dominate the world of espionage, sabotage, and covert warfare.
==Notable operations==

*Operation Hercules (October 9, 1942)-Act of sabotage against Nazi occupation force in Paris, France
*Operation Lionfish-The coordinated rescue mission seeking to save as many Jews as possible from the Holocaust.
*Operation Blindside (May 12, 1945)-During the Battle of Okinawa, Task Force X-Ray assists the USMC in evacuating a hospital from being overrun by the Imperial Japanese Army forces, considered a "last stand" incident during the war.
