SPECTRE Task Force Organizational Structure

This document outlines the fictional operational structure of the SPECTRE Task Force (STF). It serves as a reference for understanding how command, combat, and support elements are arranged during in-game operations.

Integration and Interoperability

Operational Coordination

All tasking flows through the Operations Directorate (“Overwatch”), which integrates intelligence gathered by Overlord and logistical constraints provided by Atlas. While some units—such as SPECTRE Gryphons—may operate independently during execution, all mission planning and inter-unit coordination is centralized and streamlined through STF’s command infrastructure.

Combined Arms and Cross-Unit Deployment

STF operations are designed around the principle of modularity. Operational and support units are combined depending on mission scope, terrain, and deniability constraints. A typical raid might involve:

• Direct action teams (e.g., Gryphons) executing precision tasks
• Assault or containment elements (e.g., Devilbirds) securing perimeters and responding to contingencies
• Support detachments such as Corsair (airlift), Hammer (indirect fire), or Sentinel (real-time ISR) enhancing capability at critical phases

This joint-force approach allows STF to dynamically scale from a single fireteam to full-spectrum coordinated engagements while preserving unit autonomy and clarity of task.
