| - The Oktober Guard (октябрь in Russian - commonly spelled/translated as October or Oktober) is a Russian special operations unit. This elite formation includes volunterrs from the SETSNAZ Commandos, the Airborne Brigades, and the KGB Border Guards, among others. Usually thought to be the Soviet/Russian equivalent of the G.I. Joe Team, they are in fact composed of members from several Warsaw Pact countries. Unlike the Joes, the team is composed of just a small squad and most do not sport a fancy codename. The Oktober Guard often operates internationally, protecting and promoting Soviet and former Warsaw Pact interests. Despite the fact their respective countries are rivals with the United States during the Cold War, the members of the Oktober Guard are never portrayed as evil, but as military professionals doing their job and serving their countries. Their missions often put them at odds with G.I. Joe, but when the situation arises they often find themselves temporarily allied with the Joes against a common foe. With terror once again on the rise, the Oktober Guard was reformed in 2009 as a Collective Rapid Reaction Force. The Guard is intended to be used to repulse military aggression, conduct anti-terrorist operations, fight transnational crime and drug trafficking, and neutralize the effects of natural disasters. The Oktober Guard was an ally of G.I. Joe in the War Against Terror until the 2014–15 Russian military intervention in Ukraine, after which cooperation between the two teams cooled drastically. The Guard is commanded in the field by Captain Red Star.
