Mobile Task Forces Handbook

Mobile Task Forces are specialist units called in when ordinary security is not enough: breaches, recoveries, and operations beyond a site's walls.

1. Ranks

The Clearance column is the Site Clearance a rank usually holds at the member's posting. It is granted by that site's Director and does not carry to other sites or to Site-01 (Directive 001).

2. Units

1. Each unit has a Greek letter, a number and a name, chosen by MTF Command: for example Nu-7, "Hammer Down".
2. A unit has a purpose (breach response, recovery, escort, exploration) set when it is formed.
3. Each site has at least one unit stationed at it. The commander of that unit is the site's MTF Liaison.

3. Callouts

1. A unit is called out by the Site Director, the Security Chief during an Orange or Red alarm, or MTF Command.
2. The Unit Commander confirms the callout, briefs the unit and reports to the person who called it.
3. In the field, the Unit Commander commands the unit. Site personnel give MTF right of way.

4. Breach response

1. On arrival, take over the sealed zone from Security.
2. Recontain using the anomaly's file and the Scientific Department's advice. When the file and the situation disagree, protect personnel first.
3. Report "containment restored" to the Site Director, who lowers the alarm.
4. The Unit Commander files an exploration or incident report within one day.

5. Joining

The Mobile Task Forces take members only by transfer (Form P-03), from Security or another department, at Level 2 or above. MTF Command reviews the transfer and runs a selection exercise. You start as an Operative.
