The **Black Hand** is a faction in the canon Just Cause games and in multiple works of fan fiction. This article describes them in the Thresher's Solís project.

The Black Hand is a massive entity with many units worldwide. But by far the largest amount of soldiers is stationed in their homeland of SolÍs. To organize such a large force is a difficult task but yet the Black Hand's organization is very simple and effective.

REGCOMW is a special REGCOM as it is resposible for SPECCOM, the military command responsible for everything Intelligence, Counter-Intelligence, Black-Ops, Spec-Ops and so on. You will not find a single Army, Navy or Air Force soldier here, as SPECCOM has their own security force: RAID.
