Ed Island Special Forces

The Ed Island Special Forces, commonly abbreviated to SF, are a special forces division of the Ed Island Army formed in 1984 for specialized missions including espionage, sabotage, and other tactical operations. While often viewed as a subdivision of the EIA, the SF is its own branch of the military with its own command structure, not answering to Army officials. SF members are distinguished from EIA by their black uniforms, leading the SF to be christened the "Black Army," as well as drawing similarities to the Snoss SSS.

Equipment
While the SF utilizes most of the same weaponry as the EIA and EIAF, it also contracts much of its own weaponry to be used on missions.
