| - This article explores various ways to set up small forces of one or more ships, with or without starfighters, to accomplish various tasks in-game. Like most of the squad setups in the Unit Composition guide, the strategies discussed here are untested. If you try any of them out, be sure to post on the forum, or update this article, to share your experience and give constructive feedback.

Task Forces are small groups of operators (generally three to ten, though Task Forces larger than twenty are not unheard of) dedicated to performing a specific task or dealing with a particular situation. Each Task Force is assigned a unique combination of a Greek letter and a number, but otherwise nomenclature is the same as for secure facilities. Mobile Task Force Alpha-16 (aka "Uncle Mike's") Equipped to hunt, and suppress public awareness of, entities similar to SCP-746.

- Mobile Task Forces (MTFs) are elite units comprised of personnel drawn from across the Foundation and are mobilized to deal with specific threats or situations that sometimes exceed the operational capacity or expertise of regular field personnel and — as their name suggests — may be relocated between facilities or locations as they are needed. Mobile Task Force personnel represent the "best of the best" of the Foundation. Mobile Task Forces can vary greatly in size, composition, and purpose. A battalion-strength combat-oriented task force trained to deal with highly aggressive anomalous entities may consist of hundreds of troops plus support personnel, vehicles, and equipment and can be deployed in whole or in part to deal with threats across the globe. However, not all Mobile Task Forces are combat-oriented and a small, specialized intelligence-gathering or investigative task force may have fewer than a dozen personnel if that is deemed sufficient to accomplish their goals. While in the field, task force members often pose as emergency responders, local or federal law enforcement, or military personnel appropriate to the region in which they are operating. Mobile Task Force Commanders can also request the assistance of local field units or personnel stationed at nearby Foundation facilities in order to accomplish their missions.
