As the name may suggest, the special operations force is for instances where there needs to be a clandestine, or specialized operations that this branch will be ideal for. For example, if the nation was invaded, then Special Operations will enter the invading country, and hunt down military leaders, and maybe even the leader of the country of the invading force. Special Operations will not be allowed to be photographed while in uniform. This is to keep their identity a secret, and therefore their safety with some assurance.
Special operations will need their own vehicles for entering a hostile country. This will likely be air dropped for entering, and getting to a point to where they can safely be picked up. Special Operations will remained well-trained, and be called upon to react against a hostile nation.
