I Hath Returned
I'm back. After multiple long months of... things... I'm finally back. I'm so glad this didn't die. Anyways, this wouldn't be a proper post without an app, now would it? Just for old time's sake.
Name of Nation: The New Emmerian Coalition
Name of Tier One Unit: Special Operations Command - Special Projects Unit
Names of Tier One Operators (Optional):
Major William Lennox -
Following the aftermath of the H1Z1 outbreak, Lennox and his team were redirected to combating hostile SRPA Presence following the Coalition President's executive order to shut down all SRPA assets. Suffering heavy casualties at the hands of this rogue cell of scientists and fellow special operations, Lennox and his team prevailed against the threat. After Special Operations Command was formed, Lennox was chosen as the commander of the Special Projects Unit, along with members of his old team being brought on as instructors and field-operators themselves. Though the events of the past have scarred him and his team deeply, Lennox still forms a brotherly bond with his comrades, boosting their morale and pushing them through, even when they are dealt a horrible hand. He uses Assault Rifles, and is the Team Leader of the Special Projects Unit.
Lt. Col. Abraham Locke -
Locke was a member of STIGRU Detachment Omega, and served 3 tours in the horrifically unstable nation of Suafrikaa. During the events of Operation Necropolis, Locke was redirected to engaging Insurrectionist Cell Leaders as they launched their biological attacks in the heartland of Emmeria. Thanks to the efforts of the Lt. Col, many of Emmeria's citizens were spared the horrors of the infection. He lost many of his close friends during the operations, most due to Insurrectionists blowing themselves and their processing plants sky high at the first sign of trouble. When SOC was formed, Locke was approached by Lennox personally, and brought on as a replacement to his squad's recently deceased marksman; post humously promoted Major Richard Garcia. He accepted the offer, and was immediately given the title of the Special Project Unit's Marksman. Locke is quiet most of the time, though his actions speak loudly enough for what he tries to convey. He's stealthy and he knows how to get a job done properly, and uses the LaRue OBR 7.62.
Captain Kate Donovan -
Kate was a member of the Misriah Group of Garrison Rangers towards the end of the Winter Insurrection; an event which followed Operation Necropolis and took the Coalition by storm. As Insurrectionists gained a foothold in the weakened and devastated southern borders of the Coalition, the Misriah Rangers were dispatched to put an end to their operations once and for all. After three brutal weeks of fighting, with little supplies and ammunition, Misriah was finally able to establish a stable landing area for Coalition soldiers to begin their main assault. Kate's squad was decimated by Insurrectionist mechanized infantry, however she persevered and managed to leave the battle alive, utilizing multiple improvised explosives and the remaining 67 rounds of 6.8mm SABOT she had scavenged from her deceased squad-mates. Soon after the fight had been won, she was brought onto the SOC Special Projects Unit, for showing excellence in wartime scenarios and keeping calm in disaster. She's handy with explosives and packs the LMG Variant of the SOC's MRS rifle.

Weapons
After the disastrous performance of the AR7G-02 in combating the Insurrectionists during the Winter Insurrection, the SOC R&D Unit looked to a combat rifle which would surpass any the Coalition currently held in its arsenal. Though with their budget completely devastated, they turned to older series of weapons and improved upon them. The Coalition M8-R was used as a standard baseline, with the majority stripped away and replaced with a proprietary gas system to avoid malfunctions and a short-stroke piston driving an operating rod to force the bolt carrier to the rear. The new rifle was known as the MRS-16 Carbine, and was outfitted for a variety of roles. It fires a 6.8mm SPC cartridge and is composed of Polymer externals with steel internals. Should this not be enough, SOC Operators may also use a kitted-out AK-103, and most actually do prefer this option over the MRS-16. The LaRue OBR series is also extremely popular, and utilized frequently; both the 5.56 and 7.62 variants, to be precise.
Various AR variants are also utilized, usually when a STANAG-fed firearm is used by two or more of a fire-team's members. The Special Projects Unit favors the Mk-18 heavily, as well as the Folsom-15 series of rifles.
As for their sidearm, SOC Members retain usage of the Vicker .45 1911 system. There are multiple other options available, like the Glock 23, and the P226, but the Vicker remains a favorite of all Coalition Special Operations Personnel. They also retain their signature SOG Voodoo Hawk for close ranger encounters, and are feared by their enemies for their lethality with these cold steel tomahawks.
Body Armor
R&D had revealed one of their newest protection systems shortly after the formation of the Special Projects Unit. This new type of body armor consisted of plates arranged on a ballistic vest platform, with PALs webbing stretched across multiple portions of the armor to retain ease of customization for each individual operator. The plates themselves are created using kevlar and advanced polymer materials, though they have little benefit in ballistic stopping power. At most, they retain the same protection as their old AR-500 plates, however with a much lighter and modular design. The downside is that the plates cannot be as easily replaced, and the armor itself is expensive to produce in large quantities; thus is exclusive to the Special Projects Group for the time being. Normal Ballistic Pauldrons are often worn as well, with a specialized hydration carrier specifically meant for the SOC Vest being worn as well. There is an embedded hard-pouch for storage of the standard issue I-Droid.
It is often confusing which type of helmet SOC Teams prefer, but usually they use a MICH 2003 with a specialized cover over it, offering rail space and slots for tactical accessories, like lights and NVGs. These covers also provide significant protection boosts, and often have small 'chops' to protect an operator's face. (Yall played Killzone, I"m talking about the ISA Helmet with a FAST Helmet instead of the ridiculous bike-helmet) Since Necropolis, however, it is rare to see a Solid Eye System in use by Coalition Special Forces, though not completely unknown.
Biography of Unit:
The Special Operations Command, or SOC, was formed shortly after a barrage of devastating events in the Emmerian Coalition, destabilizing parts of the country and sending the military into a frenzy trying to put out as many fires as possible. This led to a large loss of many Tier One units, including most of the famed STIGRU to Insurrectionists and Infected personnel alike. Eventually, the Garrison and other notable Military branches decided to form a new unit, merging all Special Operations entities into a single unit, as its own branch. This unit came to be known as SOC. Shortly, the Strategic Science Reserve was formed; SRPA's replacement. These two organizations work closely together, ensuring SOC Operators are well equipped and informed to deal with whatever threat may arise. Training for these specialty units makes the other individual training look like a cake walk, often being described as 'inhumane' and 'utterly ridiculous' by drop outs and hospitalized recruits.
The Special Projects Group is the remnants of STIGRU and the OGA of the Coalition Military. This team is tasked with completing clandestine operations all around the world, in an orderly and professional matter. They work swift and silently, often leaving no trace of their presence what-so-ever. They're highly trained, given state of the art equipment, and are ready to deal with any threat that enters their crosshairs. Just like the soldiers that stood before them, The Special Projects Group has a long history of getting their objective complete, even if it means riding head first into a hurricane. Upon returning to Task Force Atlas, however, Emmerian Operators are looked upon with caution. After SRPA's failed attempts at assassinating them, their badly formed logistic divisions and poor command responsibility, much of Atlas is weary of accepting Coalition members back into their ranks. Lennox, to this day, still looks at Necropolis as "Emmeria's Crowning Failure in the Face of Adversity."

Sorry Exantos, I needed someone to label as untrustworthy or the joke wouldn't work. I do actually trust you.
-scoff- I prefer Tactically Deceased, thank you very 'mas.
Ah, of course. The moment I think its safe to make a joke about you being gone you return. I should have known.
Good to have you back.
