Special Operations Squad

The Special Operations Squad, famously known as Squad Levi, was an elite squad of the Survey Corps hand-picked by Captain Levi. The original squad of adults were considered the most elite squadron, having a total kill record exceeding 200 and that were capable of killing nigh any Titans in their way. They had the ability to sync with each other to coordinate their attacks without talking.
Following the massacre of the majority of the original squad members and Marley's third invasion in 850, Levi forms the squad anew with its members being the remaining soldiers of the 104th Training Corps' Top 10 and Armin Arlert in order to watch over Eren Yeager and Historia Reiss.
Following the reveal of the outside world, the squad begins working differently and mostly not under Levi's direct orders, until also facing infighting within their own country's military. The squad is officially disbanded when Levi retires to Marley after the events of the Battle of Heaven and Earth.
==Overview==
During 850, they were tasked with the mission to protect Eren Yeager from any enemy, and even kill Eren himself in case he turned traitor or lost control of his then newly-discovered Titan form. During the 57th Expedition Outside the Walls, Commander Erwin Smith gave Levi the secret objective to lure the Female Titan into a trap, but the mission failed. All members of the Special Operations Squad except for Levi were killed by Annie Leonhart.
After Annie's capture and the events of the assumed breach of Wall Rose, Levi forms this squad anew with its members now being the remaining soldiers of the 104th Training Corps' Top 10, plus Armin, in order to watch over Eren and Historia Reiss.
Due to the near-annihilation of the Survey Corps in the Battle of Shiganshina District, the squad did no longer work as a separate team, as they became the sole remnants of the Survey Corps and worked directly under the command of the 14th Commander Hange Zoë most of the time. Among these survivors is also Floch Forster. Due to several circumstances and changes, the squad is mostly not united or simply functions as Hange's elite subordinates, although it is never unoficially disbanded until the end.
During 850 and 851 they focus on the cleanup of all the Pure Titans in Paradis Island. Between the years 851 and 854, they work closely with the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers and have to focus on humanity outside the Walls and Marley's military survey ships. Between 853 and 854, many recruits from other military branches are hired in the Survey Corps, and most of the time Captain Levi is in command of groups of them, often seen with Varis, and at some point is seen commanding a different team made of thirty recruits when charged with custody of Zeke Yeager. During the Revenge for Liberio in 854, the remnants of the squad are left on their own, and during the Rumbling they follow their Survey Corps commanders, whilst Levi struggles with injuries.
Squad Levi is officially and properly disbanded when Captain Levi - exiled from Paradis Island and out of military life - retires to Marley after the events of the Battle of Heaven and Earth, during which the Rumbling is stopped and the Yeager brothers are killed.

==Trivia==
*In the Royal Government arc, there were multiple occasions in which Squad Levi and Squad Hange worked together or were even merged into one squad to deal with certain threats.
**Together, the two squads investigated the Reiss family and Pastor Nick's murder, conducted hardening experiments with Eren, worked with the Reeves Company, and lived in the same safehouses.
**During an attempt to pursue their enemies, three members of Squad Hange (Keiji, Nifa and Abel) were temporarily lended to Levi, losing their lives in the same operation.
**Hange and Moblit joined Squad Levi during the pursuit for Eren and Historia and the second fight against Kenny's Squad, and were also by their side during the fight against King Reiss' Pure Titan.
*Although it was never confirmed, the second lineup of Squad Levi (with Eren and his friends) might have been disbanded prior the events taking place in 854, because Jean, Armin, Mikasa and Connie (by then officers) are always seen directly working as underlings of the commander of the Survey Corps and giving orders to the newer members, while Levi is in charge of an entirely different squad.
