To be frank with you, reading this file is a DEATH SENTENCE. If you do live another day, you'll be proclaimed a traitor just as I was.
What you should know though is that everything about these units is true. They are what the Foundation claims them to be, The Best Of The Best. They are the Foundation's last option when it comes to remaining in the shadows. But eventually, I will bring them into the light. -The Secret-Keeper
SCP FOUNDATION BLACK OPS UNITS
Throughout its long life span, the Foundation has created many Black Ops Units, or BOU's as they like to refer to them as. The units are created to serve the purpose of their specific O5 Council member. The number the unit is given decides which Council Member they serve. However, due to the creation of the "1st Black Ops Unit" before the O5 Council existed, the units are behind by a single digit. Hence the "2nd Black Ops Unit" serving all alive and active O5-1's.
The units are given highly advanced technology to allow them to serve their purpose. But there are a few commonalities among their equipment. For example, every unit's patches are featureless unless seen through another BOU Operator's glasses/goggles/visor. When seen through the vision of another operative, the patches can show an operator's Unit Patch, Blood Type, Status, or Rank.
If you're a member of a BOU, you can tell each Unit apart by the patch they wear on their left shoulder. If you're not a member of a BOU, you can tell them apart by the camouflage and uniform choice for each unit. The "2nd Black Ops Unit" can be seen wearing completely black uniforms while a unit like the "8th Black Ops Unit" can be seen wearing ACU camouflage.
The Units generally specialize in Manhunting, protective detail/body-guarding, and most forms of combat. However, the units are highly customizable to serve the purpose their O5 has decided for them. Units like the "2nd Black Ops Unit", "14th Black Ops Unit", and the "15th Black Ops Units" have been created just to guard their designated Council Members. Other Units have been created just to slaughter targets the Council has deemed "Too Valuable" for Mobile-Task-Forces to handle.
Due to the nature of the Unit's they are generally given cover-ups that relate to what they are assigned to do. Unit's like the "2nd Black Ops Unit" are marked as "site security guards" while units like the "8th Black Ops Unit" are marked as "Mobile-Task-Force Operatives". The Units also don't have to take orders from the "Ethics-Committee" as their commanding officers are strictly the O5 Council Members they serve under.
The lower the number of the unit, the more its operatives are permitted to know about the Foundation's inner-workings without having to be told by their specific O5 Council Member. However, this rule doesn't apply to a very small number of Units. Those Units being the ones that serve the Administrators and O5-13 for example.
