Deployable Operations Group

The Deployable Operations Group, also known as DOG, is a component of the UNSC Navy Expeditionary Combat Command that specializes in coastal defense for UEG and CAA colonies. Created in 2400, the Deployable Operations Group expanded on the importance of providing coastal security for colonies who were unable to fund and staff their costal defense organization. The Deployable Operations Group is capable of deploying to multiple colonies with a variety of specialists and technicians to assist in an array of missions the UNSC and CMA request assistance in.
==History==
===The Need for Coastal Security===
The Colonial Military Administration and United Nations Space Command ran an annual report to discover that the transportation of illegal arms, substances, and materials was being transported through ports, along coasts, and through boats. UNSC High Command called upon the UNSC Marine Corps and Navy as a means to prevent actions along coastal areas on Colonies. The CAA and CMA worked with local law enforcement to cross-train and execute missions alongside the UNSC units but were met with complaints. Ranging from lack of knowledge on close-to-shore operations to civilian casualties, the CMA demanded a better solution from the UNSC. In 2398, a CMA team toured Earth's Coast Guard facilities and watched capabilities exercises to see what the Earth Coast Guard units demonstrated. Immediately after, the CMA began planning their own style of a Coast Guard branch.
However, UNSC High Command brought themselves into the equation and restricted the idea of having a new branch for the CMA. UEG senators worked with UNSC officials to cut spending in crucial areas to prevent the creation of a branch that would take power away from the High Command. By 2399, the project had been scrapped by the CMA due to the UNSC's political blockade. The Chief of Naval Operations ordered a small cell to create a one-star Admiral sized group to train and equip specialists in the fields of port security, close-to-shore, and rescue divers. With support from UEG senators and budget increases, the cell became a Special Access Program in 2400, known as the Deployable Operations Group. Blacklash was expected from the CMA, and they worked to bar the SAP from operating on colonies until the UNSC worked a deal for the CMA to have deployment priority.
Throughout 2400 to 2412, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, Navy Divers, Marine Force Recon, and several other experts taught candidates within the Deployable Operations Group. Marine Force Reconnaissance soldiers were known to make up the action arm, colonial police officers, and military personnel assisted with building Port Security. At the same time, rescue swimmers and divers came from all walks of life who wanted to save someone's life. The UNSC recruited civilian VTOL pilots and military warrant officers to bring the experience into the ranks. Trainers to sharpen the new ranks came from Earth's Coast Guard and began cross-training with the Deployable Operations Group. Requests for jet skis, patrol boats, diving equipment, aircraft, and equipment were met by the UNSC Logistical Command; which further made the Deployable Operations Group come to life by 2412.
The CMA began deploying the Deployable Operations Group throughout the Outer and Inner Colonies to test if they were capable units created by the UNSC. Reports came back and proved to be a significant positive trend in captures, precise interdictions, and arrests completed. The growing popularity of the Deployable Operations Group made them favored among the civilians who resided on CAA-administered colonies and drove up recruitment throughout the first half of the century.
