Team Alpha

Team Alpha is a special Tactical Police Unit of the Special Investigation Team, formerly a branch of Special Forces Group.

History
Originally founded as "be all end all" backup for Special Forces Group, but gradually shifted towards more paramilitary elite police forces. Due to their "odd standards", Team Alpha partakes a wide variety of operations, including counter-terrorism law enforcement, VIP Protection, underground embedded spies, to "unsanctioned" oversea operations (under the commands of PSS instead of the SFG) and more.

The team was founded by former leader of Section 9, Major Motoko Kusanagi, following the retirement of her former chief-of-section Daisuke Aramaki, to which she holds control of the unit entirely.
