The Squadron Group acts as a combat reconnaissance force, with the mission of infiltrating rebels' tribal population and guerrilla networks, pinpointing rebel groups and relaying vital information back to the conventional forces earmarked to carry out the actual attacks. Members of the Squadron Group are trained to operate in small under-cover, clandestine teams capable of working independently in the bush for periods of weeks or even months, and of passing themselves off as rebels. The Squadron Group are an entirely volunteer force. The person that the Suqadron needs of is a mix between the soldier who can work in a unit and a loner who can think and act on his own.
