**Ghost Division**, also officially known as the **Ghost Divisional Regiment**, also referred to as the **Ghosts**, is an classified secretive elite hidden multi-collaborative special operations force of the United States Military and the Central Intelligence Agency as part of their component, United States Special Operations Command.

Similarly they are under the command component of Joint Special Operations Command, all military operations conducted by Ghost Division are highly-classified. Nearly all Ghost Teams have multiple designations, but regardless, the covert unit commanded and administrated by JSOC, often serving as the United States' first line of offense in terms of conducting highly advanced classified covert operations in the worldwide.

With all Ghost operators conducting covert operations as Advanced Force Operations teams, they are often assisted by elements of the Special Activities Center's Special Operations Group (SAC/SOG) of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and occasionally with the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Additionally, should Ghost operators encounter agents from the all many of the aforementioned organizations, said agents would be authorized to take control of the Ghost team should their missions fall under the same parameters and Ghosts have the global jurisdiction to the countries.

Reorganized following the Global World Insurgency, Ghost Division was split from the Green Berets, and stylized by the Department of Defense as the Ghost Divisional Regiment.

## History

### Early Days

#### Ghost Division's Foundation

During the Vietnam War, the CBSA activate an special task force comprised of highly skilled-trained elite soldiers from Green Berets, Force Recon, Marine Rifleman and Navy SEALs to perform an highly classified missions in the Mainland Southeast Asia. is it the units that are undetected to their enemies, many of government officials were impressed by their extraordinary stealth mastery, guerrilla warfare tactics and martial arts combatant.

After the Nick Bishop's announcement, he said that the Ghost is being transferring and where no longer served as a American top-secret government-sanctioned military division, therefore becoming a independent private multinational special unit. Anderson Enterprise remodeled their old headquarters into a military headquarters and the units joined together to combating any threats around every various countries in worldwide.

#### Missions of the Ghost Division

They are the task force that operates in secrecy across the worldwide, they only required the remnants of the Special Operations Capabilities include the branches of the U.S Military, and some Tier-One special-ops units, including any countries special-ops forces, the units carry out the black-ops mission to conducted an secret activities around the world by completed the mission to get the job done and combine a joint military training program, the Ghosts is a SOF that also they reports directly to the high-ranking officers.

The task force was also an Tier-One international worldwide coalitions force and to protect the world from both foreign and domestic threats, the Ghost have the many capabilities of different various set of skills of special operations from the USSOCOM or from the law enforcement agencies, they work in the shadow to hiding their identities from the public, so they cannot being seen or heard from any people in the public.

#### Secret Founders of the Ghost Division

They are secretly founded by CBSA as their very own rapid deployment response force handles internal security for the CBSA, Anderson Enterprise, U.S Government and many various other organizations and companies under the oversight by their own command components. They are special-ops force deployed to deal with threats and some site/area facilities when standard situations, protocols fails and multiple breaches are imminent. As such, most of their operations are classified.

The Ghost were are born to be the highly-level skilled trained profession to conducted the missions with special operations capabilities, the units are special multi-branch units that have no inter-service unit rivalry, in the Ghost they give elite training for the recruits in their headquarters and their own boot camp facilities, Ghost have their own largest abilities to providing special operations and unconventional warfare.

The Ghosts have now serving and continued their operations to protecting the world.

## Overview

The Ghost Divisional Regiment, also referred as the Ghosts, is an elite Special Mission Unit within the US Military and JSOC and is located at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The unit was established in 1965 to 1994 and is a secretive special operations force.

In its old name, it is a company-sized reconnaissance unit within all American's special operations communities. However, in reality, it is the military's creme of the crop Special Mission Unit whose operators are armed with state-of-the-art weapon systems and are trained in the best field and combat tactics. They are the most experienced, specialized, and qualified special operations force that JSOC has to offer. They operate first in and last out of the field, striking enemies at their most vulnerable swiftly, silently, and invisibly, hence their alias; the Ghosts. Ghost Recon teams specialize in both covert and clandestine operations within denied or politically-sensitive territory with little to no support. Most of their operations before 2011 were hidden in the information security (infosec) level between classified to top-secret and were only known by the Chief of Staff, the President and most of all; the CIA, NSA and DIA, until an American television series; Modern Heroes that aired after 2011, reviewed some of those details to the public. However, sensitive documents about this unit are yet to be revealed, preventing anyone knowing too much about the Ghosts.

Essentially, the Ghosts operate as the POTUS’s private SMU, using their experience, teamwork with the latest technology to infiltrate and take down threats around the world without leaving any traces that they exist or were present at the time of the incident(s).

**The primary role of the Ghosts appears to be conducting deniable Advance Force Operations which often involve**:

* Asymmetric Warfare
* Foreign internal defense
* Direct covert actions
* High-value Targets/Manhunting
* Hostage Rescue
* Special Reconnaissance
* Unconventional warfare
* Security force assistance

**Secondary roles historically have included**:

* Counter-intelligence
* Counter-narcotics
* Counter-proliferation
* Counter-terrorism
* Command and Dontrol
* Black operations
* Targeted killing
* Specialized counter raiding
* Communications
* Hydrographic reconnaissance
* Combat Search and Rescue
* Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS)
* Deep Reconnaissance
* Long-range reconnaissance
* Light Infantry
* Preparation of the Environment
* Counter-insurgency
* Maritime interdiction operations
* Clandestine Operations
* Counter-drug operations
* Covert operations
* Executive Protection
* Guerrilla warfare
* Personnel recovery

### Insertion/extraction techniques

* Patrolling
* Helicopter Touchdown
* Helocast Personnel
* Small Boat/RHIB
* Over-the-Horizon Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC)
* Rappel
* Fast-roping
* Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction (SPIE)
* Parachute Static Line
* HALO/HAHO parachuting
* SCUBA
* Kayak/Canoe

As Special Operations soldiers, they are trained to execute Direct Action raids (focused, short-duration attacks). Typical missions include assassinate or kidnap High-Value Targets (HVTs), secure or destroy sensitive documents and classified hardware, and sabotage or harassment of the enemy.

Like most special operations forces, the Ghosts are less formal than their conventional brothers in the US military, as are their relationships between officers and enlisted men. Due to the secret nature of their work, the members of the Ghosts socialize almost exclusively with one another.

## Teams

**Ghost SF or Ghost Division teams are organized into Advanced Force Operations (AFO) units:**

Frequently deployed into different teams, most Ghost Division AFO units are not often permanent, with operators often rotating with different units depending on the mission requirements.

* AFO Team Alpha
* AFO Team Bravo
* AFO Team Charlie
* AFO Team Hunter
* AFO Team Kingslayer
* AFO Team Phoenix
* AFO Team Greenstone
* AFO Team Motherland
* AFO Team Predator
* AFO Team Yankee
* AFO Team RET

Post-World Insurgency, the team was reorganized into the Ghost Dvisional Regiment and given dedicated logistics support and air support. Also, around that time, the team was reorganized into three classes: Specialist, Assault, and Recon.

## Selection

Owing to its secretive nature, the recruitment process for Ghost Division is extremely stringent, with members required to have enlisted within the United States Armed Forces and proven themselves in active combat. Rarely however, membership is offered to those from other nations whom have proven themselves among fellow Ghost operators. During the selection, all potential Ghost recruits are forced to participate in a thorough psychological test to test their perseverance and compatibility with fellow Ghost recruits.

Additionally, aside from a thorough psychological evaluation, all recruits are made partially aware of the unit's secretive nature, with many abiding by its covert nature, and understanding that unlike their brethren in other special forces units, their actions and successes would never become publicly acknowledged by the public and politicians. Despite this, the units' psychological evaluations have occasionally failed to prepare future operators, resulting in several high-profile defections from the unit.

Regardless, should recruits successfully pass Phase I, they will be promptly inducted into Phase II of their training and will be promptly reassigned from their units.

## Structure

During active deployments, Ghost operators are organized into fireteams of four, often under the command of a temporary Ghost Lead for the duration of the mission/operation. Owing to its classified nature, the true strength of the elite unit remains unknown, however, estimates by both American and foreign intelligence services approximate the strength of the unit to be roughly that of a company, consisting of roughly 200-250 operators.

Additionally, owing to the consistent active deployments and limited manpower, Ghost operators are noted to occasionally conduct operations solo. Designated as "Lone Wolf", these operators are often selected for their uncanny ability to operate individually without support, and are often tasked with high-level operations that are too risky for the deployment of a fireteam.

Led by various commanders throughout its existence, the Ghosts initially operated under the command of the USSOCOM, however, following the Russian Insurgency, the unit was reorganized into its own separate unit. Usually led by a Lt. Colonel, the Ghosts' first official commander was Lt. Colonel Harold "Buzz" Gordon, before being replaced by Lt. Colonel Susan Grey sometime in 2020. By 2025, Scott Mitchell was appointed head of the unit, and played a vital role during the events of the Raven's Rock coup in 2024 and the events and subsequent aftermath of Operation: Greenstone.

## Training

Phase - II involves advanced combat training, language learning and technical training. Candidates who successfully pass the second phase are commissioned as full-fledged Ghosts and are then assigned to either a team on training, a team on standby or a team that is ready for deployment. Moreover, training usually emphasizes on team coordination, technology usage, survival, stealth and direct combat with which involves no-less than 4 Ghosts as a 4 multi-gender fireteam against a huge group of hostiles. This training is reinforced with a basic medical aid requirement to complete the training, largely as most operators would be cut off from official support, hence the need to ensure that all wounded teammates remain active in the field.

Operating out of Fort Bragg in North Carolina, the Ghosts are often noted for their uncanny ability to rapidly deploy into conflict zones, often deploying within an 18-hour window upon request and approval. Additionally, in keeping with its rapid deployment nature, Ghost Division units are often deployed via helicopter insertion. However, should the option become unavailable, the Ghosts are trained to infiltrate into hostile territory by other means, including High Altitude-Low Opening (HALO) jumps by aircraft and/or hijacking enemy and/or ally vehicles.

Often armed with a variety of lethal weapons from the U.S. Military's standard-issue and experimental equipment, the Ghosts greatest tactical advantage comes from their state-of-the-art communications and reconnaissance equipment. Serving as the military's foremost elite reconnaissance unit, the Ghosts deployed in combat zones observe and report the often-volatile situations on the ground as commanders and politicians mull over decisions with potentially dire repercussions.

Owing to their elite nature, each member of Ghost Division is equipped with the latest high-tech weaponry and communications equipment. Much of their gear are designed to be durable, reliable, modular, long-lasting and lightweight. This flexibility allows each operator to enter combat zones in a wide variety of environments without needing to carry cumbersome equipment. Additionally, trained in weaponry ranging from both standard-issue and experimental weaponry, the Ghosts are also taught by retired special forces instructors in different close-quarter combat techniques (CQC). Honing their skills, Ghost operators are additionally trained with different types of melee weapons, including combat blades and other unarmed non-lethal techniques. This extreme conditioning allows Ghost Division units to preserve against overwhelming odds during combat.

In an effort to stay ahead of their enemies, the Ghosts often readily embrace and utilize a large variety of intelligence-gathering devices and advanced technology, with the resulting technologies developed by 2024 essentially allowing the elite operators to engage their opponents without needing to physically see them. By the events of the Raven Rock coup, this is reinforced by the frequent utilization and deployment of Sensors and miniature UAV Drones, allowing Ghost Teams to keep track of enemy movements during firefights; any enemy tagged are displayed as silhouettes on the Ghosts' heads-up displays. Additionally, prior to 2009, Ghost Division operators utilized a variety of optical devices that allowed Ghost units to spot enemies through dense smoke, dark environments, fogs and even thick pieces of cover. This was later supplemented by the introduction of the CROSS-COM system issued sometime in early 2009, granting each operator the ability of relaying crucial intelligence and information to their teammates. Initially developed as a form of lens, the system was radically redeveloped and upgraded by 2024 as a pair of sunglasses through which Ghost Division operators could interface with heavy munitions and drones such as the Warhound drone in Russia.

However, despite their superior training and equipment, should friendly support become available, Ghost operators are authorized to seek and utilize friendly armored and air units to support their operation. This support however, is ultimately limited largely owing to the unit's covert nature. Due to this, most Ghosts tend to avoid participating in open conflict, often ensuring that extensive surveillance and intelligence gathering is conducted prior to the initiation of the operation. Hence, most Ghosts operate under the idea of recon, observe and plan. Should lethal action be required, Ghost operators often gain the upper hand by both marking targets and initiating synchronized shots to simultaneously neutralize multiple targets.

With the increasing prevalence of terrorist attacks in major cities in the 21st century, Ghost Division began re-training their operators, with many forced to become accustomed to urban environments. As a result, later training placed a heavier emphasis on constant CQC training to navigate the often cramped alleyways and streets, as operators were similarly forced to avoid both detection and heavy collateral damage. However, it is noted that while Ghosts maintain a strict "no-killing" civilians policy, units cut off from official support are given partial leeway with regards to collateral damage, depending on the stability in the region. Additionally, consistent with the prevalence of urban operations, intense room-clearing techniques were frequently conducted during training exercises, in which detailed planning, speed, expert marksmanship, element of surprise and violence of action were leveraged to overwhelm hostile forces and conduct VIP rescue.

In operations conducted in outside environments, Ghost Division uniforms were often equipped with a variety of camouflaged patterns depending on the environment. In operations conducted in forests or jungles, these teams would be provided gillie suits to reduce visibility among enemy forces. By 2019, in conjunction with Anderson Enterprise, Ghost Division operators were provided and equipped with prototype optical camouflage gear. The successful deployment of the prototype camouflage equipment during the events of Operation: Silent Spade in Bolivia resulted in the mass-production of said units, with the optical camouflage becoming standard-issue equipment provided to all Ghost Division operators by 2024.

Overall, heavily revered among the United States Special Operations community for their unnatural composure during combat, these military operators serve as the first line of offense against enemy forces of the United States. Their exceptional success rate has established their position as the country's foremost special forces unit with their ability to recover actionable intelligence playing a vital role in forming policy decisions and future military actions. Owing to their secrecy, many Ghost operators have trouble forming relations with other fellow servicemen, however, during active combat, the Ghosts have been known to readily cooperate and assist their infantry counterparts and allies. These overall factors have resulted in little equal opposition against the Ghosts, with only the Russian Bodark unit known to be roughly equal to their American counterparts.
