Ghost Program

The Ghost Program also known as Project Kilo-Five is a highly clandestine program that was started in the early 2100's as a result to produce highly effective agents trained in assassination and espionage, as well as guerilla tactics in order to combat enemy forces secretly using what ever means are necessary to complete their mission. It would be a mix of programs such as MKUltra from the CIA in the 1960's and other programs from the Cold War to produce cold and calculating warriors that could complete the mission no matter the cost. Operated both under INC Special Warfare Group III under the Office of Naval Intelligence as well as the Office of Strategic Services both at the same time, as well as before the formation of the INC and ONI, it was one of the most successful programs of its era. Featuring programs such as HAVOK: which was a guerilla warfare program that trained militia members how to conduct resistance movements; RESPONSE which was a group that would go into hazardous situations not even normally touched by the Black Berets or even the highly secretive Latchkey Operators of the INC. However they also created programs such as Gemini which served dual purposes; being both a humanitarian program to help soldiers and civilians who had children afflicted by Fletcher's Syndrome, while also genetically augmenting their own people with the same regimen.

History and Operations
Launched on March 22, 2114 the original Kilo-Five Program which would be known as the Ghost Program was a project within the O.S.S that would train members in how to effectively wage a war with limited resources and often no reinforcements. They were created to be guerilla fighters, spies, and Special Operations units.

The first major operation that the Ghosts were involved in was in 2115 when they began to pull people who had little paper trails and strings to their families, often orphaned, or with families wiped out during World War III, they were trained in hand to hand combat, weapon improvisation and explosive creation. This would become known as Operation Troy. This military operation would see the Ghosts trained in the languages native to their targets, and educated in local customs and histories before being given their assignments. Through the months or years when they were planted, often they gathered information and observed troop movements. It would be in 2124 when they were activated and ordered to conduct a "Scorched Earth" warfare by burning supplies and farms, and destroying artillery and using local resistance groups to eradicate entire insurgent groups before arrested or executing high profile targets.

Following Operation Troy and the Treaty of Santiago the Ghost Program was shelved and all operators went into a "stand-by" being re-integrated into their units. However select operatives would be instead directed under Joint Special Operations Command where they were given highly classified assignments.

It would be in 2412 when the Program would be reactivated and those who were in "stand-by" from earlier operations would be recalled to conduct black-operations behind enemy lines. However during this time a need was recognized to create even more advanced soldiers. The Ghosts were later recruited from the Black Berets and Section Nine which were two well known "shock-and-awe" forces. It was also during this time that the Ghosts began to experiment in genetic, chemical, and psychological augmentation and conditioning.
