Special Operations Squad (Anime)

The Special Operations Squad (特別作戦班) is an elite squad of the Survey Corps hand-picked by Captain Levi.

The special operations squad consisted of some of the most elite soldiers in the Scout Regiment, having a total kill record exceeding 200. They were capable of killing almost any Titan in their path. Due to their strong bond, they were able to synchronize with each other to coordinate their attacks without direct or verbal communication. During the 57th Expedition, their mission was to protect Eren Jaeger from Titans, and their secret objective was to lure the Female Titan into a trap.
