Overwatch Transhuman Arm Guide (OTA)

[Damned]

Combine Overwatch is the general self-titled name of the Combine's military forces on Earth. The Overwatch Forces on Earth consist of the Transhuman Arm, which is supported by the Synthetic Arm.
Combine Soldiers are humans heavily modified by Combine technology in Citadels or other facilities, which result in augmented combat abilities.

The Overwatch Transhuman Arm within a City is divided in three squads:
BLADE: Offensive Squad, they perform sweeps and breach into confirmed enemy territory.

SHIELD: Defense, they guard public events, high priority targets, prisons and the Administrator.

SPEAR: Support for other Overwatch, it consists of Overwatch Snipers and drivers/pilots for vehicles, they do not have ranks.

The Overwatch Transhuman Arm Ranks are:
-Overwatch Soldier: The basic transhuman infantry units of the Combine Overwatch on Earth, they patrol the borders of the Combine-controlled territory and raid Resistance-held strongholds. Overwatch Soldiers are equipped with MP7s, shotguns or AR2 Pulse Rifles, as well as grenades. Using these standard-issue weapons, Overwatch Soldiers typically work in squads of four to six, each squad having at least one soldier armed with a shotgun and another armed with a pulse rifle. During combat, soldiers make use of squad tactics and will attempt to flank enemies and provide cover for one other.

-Overwatch Elite: The Squad Leaders of the Overwatch. Overwatch Elites are equipped with improved body armor, made apparent by the larger neck guard and the increased protection it offers. Their helmets are also drastically different from those of regular soldiers, which possibly improves senses, indicated by the two miniature domes located where the ears of the soldier would be. Elites are tougher, achieve better accuracy with their weapons, and inflict more overall damage than regular soldiers do. They typically carry Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifles, and are able to use the weapon's secondary fire Energy Ball.


-Overwatch Commander: The Commander of the Overwatch, supervisors and leaders of the Combine Overwatch in their respective Sector (City and its borders), they are rarely seen in the field and are able to use any weapon they have at their disposal if necessary.
(NOTE: A soldiers weaponry may change depending on the mission they're carrying out)

Airwatch is literally like the typical airforce to the typical groundforces of today. They may serve the same autonomous body, but operate in a sort of joint but seperate relation. Much like Pilots have basic (Probly beyond such) training on the ground, they simply specialize on air, things. Furthermore, the Overwatch lacks much known structure due to the lack of attention of the Overwatch by Valve, therefore the only technical ranks known could be OWS, Overwatch Soldier, and EOS (Personally I prefer EOWS) Meaning Elite Overwatch. Overwatch and Synth are also somewhat one as they do not seem to be their own arm, but lets ignore that for a moment. Overwatch never need training for the most obvious reasons (Mind shit, make them forget and make them a soldier hurk) so we can easily establish a system of organization from simple run of the mill (scary motherfuckers) foot troops, to the scary motherfuckers. I am in Support of the SWORD and SHEILD ideas, glory.

Ah, I do ever so hate the Civil Administrators who belive they have reign over the Overwatch. The only reason the Civil Admin. staff exists is because the Universal Union sees it as benificial, for now that is.
