Team Alpha

Team Alpha is a special joint operation branch of the Special Forces Group team, consists of members from Public Security Section 6, 8, 9, and additional members from Russian's Spetsnaz and UK's SAS 22nd Regiment.

History
The team was originally deployed as "be all end all" backup for Special Forces Group, but gradually shifted towards more "jack-of-all-trades" type of special force. Unlike standard millitary special forces, Team Alpha partakes a wide variety of operations, including counter-terrorism law enforcement, VIP Protection, underground embedded spies, "unsanctioned" oversea operations and more.

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

Due to their status as clandestine operation group, The Prime Minister of Japan and the Japanese goverment are prohibited to commenting on.
