Country : Unknown Active Since: Unknown Motto : Unknown Headquarters : Unknown Weapon of Choice : M Unknown Notable Missions: Unknown Specialization : SRG (Shadow Ranger Group) have earned this name by remaining completely unidentifiable. They are a core group of elite soldiers that have remained an enigma for years. Unlike groups like England's MI6, they have no national affiliation, making them even more deadly. They all stay in communication with leadership via multi-encrypted satellite technology. Still, agents rarely will meet each other personally unless a group operation is essential. Even then, misinformation techniques are used so that no identity can be verified. Soldiers of no face and name receive a new identity for every mission. No one is exactly sure who controls the SRG. Some believe them to just be mercenaries for hire. Some believe they are controlled by many nations acting as one. Only one thing is certain, they get the job done.
