Special Operations Squad

The Special Operations Squad (特別作戦班) was an elite squad hand-picked by Levi Ackerman.

They were considered the most elite squadron, having a total kill record exceeding 200 and were capable of killing any Titans in their way. They had the ability to sync with each other to coordinate their attacks without direct communication. They had the mission to protect Eren Yeager from any Titan and the secret objective to lure the Female Titan into a trap, but the mission failed. All the original members of the Special Operations Squad, except for Eren and Levi, were killed by Annie.

After the events of the believed breach of Wall Rose and the massacre during Eren's rescue, Levi forms this squad anew with its members now being the remaining soldiers of the 104th Trainees Squad's Top 10 and Armin Arlert in order to watch over Eren and Historia Reiss.

Original
The original Special Operations Squad was hand-picked by Levi himself. They were in charge of protecting Eren on the 57th expedition.

During the expedition, the four members: Petra Ral, Oluo Bozado, Eld Jinn and Gunther Schultz were all killed in battle by the Female Titan. At that time, the only remnants of the team were Levi.

Current
After Eren was rescued from Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover, Levi took it upon himself to form a new Special Operations Squad. The new team consists of what's left of the 104th squad's top ten graduates and Armin Arlert. They serve to protect Eren and Historia Reiss.
