Task Force Gargoyle

**Specialty** | Special operations, military sabotage, assassination

**Gargoyle** (officially known as **Task Force Gargoyle**) is a top-secret special operations unit mainly composed of American, British, and Canadian soldiers, though it also includes members from other countries. It usually recruits people with special ops experience, but in later years it began to accept members from all branches of the military.

The organization was founded in response to the emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria with the intention of conducting acts of sabotage against numerous terrorist groups. With the emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant , later known as the Islamic State of New Palestine, the organization was dedicated to conducting sabotage operations against the Islamic State. However, once the Islamic State decreased its activity significantly, the United States government was successfully fooled into believing the Islamic State was no longer a threat and dissolved Gargoyle-a tragic mistake on the part of America's leadership, as shown by the Islamic State's sudden reemergence as a terrorist empire.

## Composition

Task Force Gargoyle comprises of soldiers from all across the globe, mainly from the United States of America, Canada and the European Union. The specifics are classified, but what is known is that Task Force Gargoyle started out by only recruiting soldiers with special ops experience. By the year 2013, however, the organization began to accept members from all branches of the military.

## Overview and training

Task Force Gargoyle operatives are former special ops soldiers and intelligence agents. These people were later given a serum disguised as painkillers meant to enhance the human body's physical performance during missions. This led to the soldiers possessing increased physical performance, enhanced pain suppression, a dramatically upgraded IQ and other benefits that were classified to the public as of 2016 (though recent details have been declassified and shown to the public).
Once they are enhanced, the agents are trained in firearms handling, tactical driving, explosives, vehicle operation, and advanced hand-to-hand combat.

## Trivia

* This organization is similar to Operation Treadstone of the Jason Bourne films, in that it is a top secret organization and most of its missions (and the identities of its members) are classified to the public (though, after Gargoyle is dissolved, the identities of its members and its missions were revealed to the public).
