**Tombstone Squadron**, or just **Tombstone**, is the name given to an international special operations group. They share several similarities between the Army's Intelligence Support Activity and Delta Force, the Navy's DEVGRU, and the Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron.

They are often supported by Central Intelligence Agency, specifically their paramilitary wing, the Special Activities Division.

## Overview

Tombstone Squadron is an international special operations unit that is based in Fort Bragg, in the United States of America. It is a secretive military unit, with a handful of military personnel even remotely aware of its existence. To maintain plausible deniability, they often use civilian disguises when deployed overseas.

Operatives in Tombstone Squadron are trained in the art of assymetrical warfare, direct covert action, reconaissance, and unconventional warfare. In some cases, they even use guerilla warfare against enemies.

Being a special operations unit, they are also trained to execute direct action raids, which involve either the kidnapping or assassination of high-value targets, or the sabotage or harassment of the enemy.

## In the Delta Verse

### 2019 Arcadia Outbreak

In 2019, two Tombstone units were deployed to Arcadia: Tombstone Alpha and Tombstone Bravo. Tombstone Bravo was tasked with locating and apprehending Donald Greenland, a scientist who was suspected of having caused the outbreak and was also linked to bioterrorist plots. Greenland was located in his laboratory, but he attempted to resist capture, forcing Bravo Team to gun him down and kill him, but not before he released the parasites in a last ditch attempt to kill the soldiers. Tombstone Alpha was deployed sometime during the outbreak itself, primarily tasked with evacuating survivors. Unbeknownst to the survivors themselves, Tombstone had a second objective: kill anyone who could be a potential witness to the US government's role in the Arcadia disaster.

Eventually, the federal government initiated a lockdown of Arcadia, quarantining the city from the outside world and shutting down all roads leading into the town, leaving Tombstone stranded in the city. To make matters worse, Tombstone Alpha soon encountered a whole nest of the parasites and was almost entirely wiped out, leaving at least two survivors. The survivors of Tombstone Alpha linked up with Tombstone Bravo, which also lost a great deal of soldiers, and worked together to evacuate any remaining survivors out of the city.

Tombstone never found about Kyle Bates' role in leaking the footage of the Arcadia disaster to the public.
