| Theory/Opinion: GST is still part of the Army Special Forces Posted: 03 Apr 2021 03:39 AM PDT Hi there! I hope you are having a good time, if you don't mind I'd like you to read this wall of text and tell me what you think about this and how much of a waste of time this was for me. /// If you are a casual player of Ghost Recon, you might know that in this game you play as the Ghosts. Who are they? Who knows...? Who cares? Just shoot and blow stuff up. No hassle, all fun. For those who know more about the lore, you know that the Ghosts are an elite unit of the US Army... in fact, you know that there were two Ghost units. The first, "US Special Forces Group 5, 1st Battalion, D Company" also known as "the Ghosts", that existed from the original Ghost Recon to Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 and the second that replaced it after making its first appearance in Ghost Recon: Future soldier - the Group for Specialized Tactics or GST. Now D. Co., 1st Bn, 5th SFG was an elite secretive detachment of the US Army Special Forces (also known as the Green Berets), meanwhile GST is... a Tier 1 Special Missions Unit under JSOC (for those who have no clue what that means, it's basically the same as Delta Force or SEAL Team 6). Now the common understanding is that Delta Company was part of the Green Berets, while GST is a separate unit/entity from the Army Special Forces, just like Delta Force (even the devs explain it like this for Future Soldier, Wildlands & Breakpoint). However, after having some thoughts about it over the past few months, I've started to think and believe that the Group for Special Tactics is still part of the Army Special Forces, or at least should be acknowledged and written as such in the following games. In my head, Delta Company, 5th SFG turning into GST mirrors SEAL Team 6 & DEVGRU. For those who don't know, such a unit as SEAL Team 6 doesn't exist... or at least not anymore. SEAL Team 6 that was founded in 1980 was dissolved in 1987 and was succeeded by the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (abbreviated as DEVGRU), despite the name change DEVGRU is still widely considered as "SEAL Team 6" even by its own members and remains part of the Navy SEALs & US Naval Special Warfare Command despite being operationally commanded by JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command). My idea is that it is the same thing with the Ghosts - D Company, 5th SFG was disbanded and turned into GST as a Tier 1 SMU to transfer it from the command of the Army Special Forces & US Army Special Operations Command over to JSOC by creating it as a new Special Forces Group. So you have all 7 Special Forces Groups (1st SFG, 3rd SFG, 5th SFG, 7th SFG, 10th SFG, 19th SFG & 20th SFG) and the Group for Specialized Tactics (GST) as a separate unique 8th Special Forces Group under JSOC, the same way that DEVGRU/ST6 is one of the 7 Naval Special Warfare Groups (the SEAL Teams are part of these). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United\_States\_Army\_Special\_Forces#Special\_Forces\_Groups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United\_States\_Navy\_SEALs#Naval\_Special\_Warfare\_Groups This idea is supported by Wildlands: Dark Waters where GST is described as the Army's premiere unconventional warfare unit and its members are called Special Forces operators. "The Ghosts: Designated as the Group for Specialized Tactics, they stand at the tip of the spear of US Army's unconventional warfare response forces. Highly specialized and incredibly skilled Special Forces soldiers, they are called the Ghosts." - Ghost Recon: Wildlands Dark Waters The Special Forces descriptor is pretty important here, since in the US military only the Army Special Forces and its members (Green Berets) are called Special Forces, all other Special Operations (Spec Ops) units (such as the Army Rangers, Navy SEALs & Delta Force) are called Special Operations Forces (SOF). A similar thing happens in Breakpoint, where the Homesteaders in Erehwon sometimes refer to the Ghosts as Special Forces instead of the usual Spec Ops moniker (but this might not mean much, since most people outside the US military use Special Forces & SOF interchangeably). The only exception is Delta Force, officially known as the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), but that was due to it being formed by mostly Green Berets/Army Special Forces and was named like this to trick foreign intelligence agencies to think that the unit was just part of the Army Special Forces. But even then, Delta Force is officially referred to specifically as a SOF unit. I'm also mentioning Delta Force here because some people on this subreddit & forums think that due to the similarity of names, the Ghosts were part of Delta Force. Unlike the Ghosts (Delta Company, 5th SFG), Delta Force was never part of the Army Special Forces and was always a separate unit modelled and based on the British SAS. In fact, the Special Forces had their own equivalent of Delta Force within the 5th SFG called "Blue Light". Blue Light was formed as the United States first Counter-Terrorism unit as a stop gap while Delta Force was being created. It was disbanded once Delta Force became operational, but became the inspiration for the Special Forces CIF/CRF teams (we'll get to these later). /// Now while all this sounds well and cool. A clear argument against this theory would be that unlike D Company, GST is a Tier 1 unit that recruits its members from other SOF units - even those from separate branches (such as Navy SEALs, Delta Force & MARSOC), so it can't be a Special Forces unit. But the thing is, this is a very normal thing in the military. You can try out to join many SOF units (especially the Green Berets) even if you are from a separate branch of the military, this is especially the case with Tier 1 SMUs like Delta or DEVGRU who are looking for the best of the best. Even D Company was known for recruiting its members from other Army units (and in GR1 & GR2 even had foreign operators attached to them on a temporary basis). Also, Ghost Recon: Choke Point (which is set after Future Soldier & most likely Breakpoint) mentions that the majority of the GST are still Green Berets, many of of whom are veterans of Delta Company, 5th SFG. "Ross recalled the welcome letter from Mitchell, the explanation of how the D Company, First Battalion, Fifth Special Forces Group had been deactivated, with the Ghosts reassigned to the newly formed Group for Specialized Tactics (GST) and Mitchell promoted to serve as its commanding officer .. In fact, Ross was one of the first non-Army operators to become a Ghost, and it was with some trepidation that he took on the role of a Ghost Lead to command three members from the US Army's Special Forces [referring to Hunter team - Kozak, Pepper & 30K]." -Ghost Recon: Choke Point /// So, we are nearing the grand finale where you ask: But why did I write this and what does this change? But before that, I want to blow your mind with a quick little tid-bit, because I believe that this is important to mention and explain: The Ghosts (Delta Company) were NEVER part of the 5th Special Forces Group. Whaaaaaatttttt?!?! The Ghosts (Delta Company, 5th SFG) was formed in 1994 and were located at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. Which is all well and good because the 5th SFG was also located at Ft. Bragg... until they relocated to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky in 1988. Now, unless the Ghosts are into some funky logistics and command structure solutions... It's a cover... Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Special Forces was a cover name. Special Forces Groups only have Alpha, Bravo & Charlie companies, same with SFODs. They don't go past Charlie, hence why Delta Force & Delta Company are named Delta (that is the next letter). So the Ghosts were never part of the Army Special Forces to begin with? Not exactly. The Ghosts (Delta Company) ARE Special Forces, this has been mentioned time and time again in both the games and novels. But their organizational & command structure is so radically different, they might as well be a separate unit like Delta Force. For example, they work in AFO teams of 4 to 6 Ghosts, as opposed to the traditional SF ODAs (Operational Detachment-Alphas, or "A-Teams" (Yes, that is where THE A-Team got their name)) that consist of 12 Green Berets. But in the lore it is explained that they are so different from the other Special Forces companies "because they had to be". The Ghosts are an entirely different breed of Special Forces: they're better trained, equipped and organized for much more dangerous and geopolitically sensitive missions. "Originally formed in 1994, the Ghosts were better funded, better trained, and better equipped than all other Special Forces companies because they had to be. They were the spearhead of all American Special Forces, a quick-response team, first in and last out. While the cliché "the best of the best" made Mitchell wince, it was undeniably true. Every operator had been handpicked, and the organization's existence was classified, compartmentalized. The army did a damned good job of keeping that secret, too, disguising them as just another unit." - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon novel /// But why did you write this and what does this change? Well... nothing. Even with GST remaining a part of the Army's Special Forces, there wouldn't be a big change in how the Ghosts post-Future Soldier work, in fact, there wasn't a major change with Delta Company turning into a Tier 1 SMU as GST. What this does however, is adapt the change from D Company to GST to a more contemporary context. You see, in Future Soldier, the idea was that the GST would lead the charge in the creation of a new Joint Strike Force that appears in Tom Clancy's Endwar - a new branch of the military with all US SOF units combined in a large homogenous unit. This issue with this, is that recently the US military has taken a sharp and drastic turn towards keeping each SOF unit specialized in the fields they were originally meant for. You see, the US military recognized that if all their SOF units become jacks off all trades (like they've started to become during GWoT), they become masters of none. In other words, a JSF isn't gonna happen anytime soon (and neither in Clancyverse, since Endwar isn't canon). So by having the Ghosts as the Special Forces/Green Beret element of JSOC, it would mirror real life recent developments, such as the 75th Rangers Regiment's Regimental Reconnaissance Company (RRC) being reorganized as a Tier 1 SMU. So now, in canon, you'd have all 3 major US Army SOF units have their own Tier 1 components in JSOC - Delta Force CAG, Rangers' RRC and the Special Forces' GST. Another thing is it would re-write both Ghost units to be much more interconnected. Instead of Delta Company turning into GST on a whim, it could tie into how the Ghosts were declassified and "the Ghosts" became a household name after Ghost Recon 2. Sometime after the Second Korean War in Ghost Recon 2, Delta Company, 5th SFG was declassified as part of an international investigation into the events of the conflict. Now when your super-secret unit is declassified, what do you do? Do you pretend that nothing has changed, or do you adapt and roll with the flow? In my version, Delta Company was reorganized into GST to acknowledge its existence while keeping it secretive and allow the unit receive better funding than if it pretended to remain a part of the Tier 2 Special Forces & USASOC as D Company, 5th SFG. (in case you didn't know, the "Tiers" don't refer to the skill or how cool a unit is. Well it kinda does... The "Tiers" refer to how much funding a unit receives. For example, regular Navy SEAL teams are Tier 2 while DEVGRU is Tier 1). And this is why people like Sentinel would know that the Ghosts exist, but not much about them (because again, the lore in the last games is really inconsistent regarding the public knowledge of the Ghosts). And another thing is the open-world setting of these games. The open world setting is a much better fit for a guerilla, unconventional warfare focused unit like the Green Berets than short duration Direct Action units like Delta Force or DEVGRU. So, ironically, Wildlands & Breakpoint are a better fit for a Special Forces focused game than the original games where the Ghosts were Special Forces. In fact, many people have commented that Delta Company rarely ever performed missions that regular Special Forces would do. Well a thing with this is the existence of CIF/CRF teams in the Special Forces, these are Direct Action teams - so it wouldn't be a stretch to think of Delta Company as a company sized elite CIF/CRF element (since again, they are different from regular Special Forces). But also, in Ghost Recon 2, it was mentioned in passing that Mitchell's team's mission before going to North Korea was training military personnel of some African country and in Combat Ops it was shown that members of the Ghosts help with the Robin Sage exercise - the final part of the Q course (Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC)), where the skills of new Special Forces recruits are tested in a simulated war game where they must help a guerilla movement topple a dictatorship. So D Company did, in fact, perform Special Forces tasks. /// So what do you think? Should the Group for Specialized Tactics be rewritten to be a Tier 1 JSOC Special Forces Group? It wouldn't change anything about the Ghosts in the latest games, in fact, if anything it would be a background change that wouldn't be noticed by players. And all non-SF Ghosts would still remain non-SF as they always have. But what it would do is, again, tie the two Ghost units in the lore much closer together as a natural progression instead of a random change and be a better fit to how the US Army components look within JSOC today. Plus, I already have an idea where the beret flash of GST would be the old 5th SFG flash with the Ghosts white skull in it. Sooooo..... ... TL/DR: My head cannon is that the GST is still part of the Army Special Forces and is the Tier 1 Special Forces/Green Beret component of JSOC. Or that it would make sense for them to be one.

| Posted: 03 Apr 2021 07:47 PM PDT What would you all think if there was a system introduced that added Alpha Wolves mini bosses to the game? My line of thought being something like: Recycling Odyssey's Mercenary system, but instead they are Wolves that either hunt Nomad or skulk about a certain base. However, because Auroa and Skell Tech have futuristic tech, these Wolves would each have a special ability: bullet sponge armor (including headgear, but damage is scaled with weapon type used), invisibility cloaks, smoke shields for a (teleporting) escape, high damage weapons (lasers, anti tank sniper rifle rounds, incendiary rounds, etc), jetpack/Ironman Wolves for that matter. This goes right in line with UbiParis wanting to make a Division clone but serves it (arugably) more accurately. And I can't imagine it'd be that difficult a task from a development standpoint as it's not changing the core game, but adding enemy types. Defeating them would yield exclusive gear or weapons from that boss, where we could collect an armor set after 5 area bosses. Think blending the Mercenary and Cultist thing from Odyssey. If they were to be an Instance, we could do missions (Intel gathering, interrogations, map exploration, horde killing) to gather all the clues to hunt (trigger) these Alpha Wolves throughout Auroa. Once we defeat them all, they scale up and recycle yielding higher grade weapons for Gear score players and Gear/Weapon Colors or slightly increased Damage output weapons for Immersive Players. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 03 Apr 2021 06:51 PM PDT I held off buying Breakpoint at launch, and still have't purchased it even after a "free weekend" of play... It didn't feel like a finished game at the time and the graphics seemed worse than wildlands.. The AI was worse, the locations were terrible with almost 0 detail built in, and so much forced dumb dialog, that was unskippable. But as I have jumped back into Wildlands I keep finding myself wanting to play a new mil sim game... [link] [comments] | ||
