Grunts

Grunts are a military-themed gang that were founded in 1995 by General Whitehall, however the General's involvement with the gang has always been kept hidden from both the public and his fellow military as he knows fine well that the Grunts engage in activities the public and military would frown upon.
The activities Grunts perform range from petty theft and vandalism to high-scale robbery, kidnapping and street-fighting: although seen as thugs by law-enforcement Grunts are actually much more organized than they appear at first and are given orders from Whitehall himself via special com-links that self-destruct if captured by enemy forces.
All the ill-gotten goods that Grunts steal are sold off to high-bidders on the black market and the money they make is transfered directly to Whitehall for use in hiring mercenaries to do illegal military work in remote regions of the world: in return Whitehall supplies the Grunts with the life-blood of the organization, the highly illegal drug known as "Battle Rage" - this drug acts like a super-steroid and makes many Grunts superhumanly strong at the cost of their sanity.
Grunts also have regular supplies of weaponry smuggled to them in secret and are mindful to keep to schedule as any delay in their payments to Whitehall results in their weapons being removed until they can pay him back.
==Uniform==
Grunts dress in plain white tank-shirts with camouflage patterned jeans and heavy steel-toed boots, they have a strict "crew cut" policy in regards to hair and are generally clean shaven (though beards are allowed): some Grunts wear sunglasses but in general such things are left to personal taste, Grunts don't allow their members to wear helmets or hats of any kind however and most Grunts are expected to adorn themselves with dog tags.
==Joining==
Grunts are open to new members but are known to have a brutal selection process, new recruits are subjected to regular abuse until they can prove themselves within the organization and many are kicked out before they can reach the higher ranks. Most Grunts do not know about Whitehall's involvement with the group and the high-command are mindful of keeping new recruits away from sensitive information until they are deemed ready.
New recruits are also expected to accept offers of "Battle Rage" whenever it is given and refusal to do so is seen as a great insult by Grunts, who believe that the drug binds them as a unit and keeps them strong (in reality long-term use of "Battle Rage" is known to be fatal).
