The Special Tactical Force (スペシャル・タクティカル・フォース Supesharu・Takutikaru・Fōsu),[1] abbreviated S.T.F., is an organization in that was tasked to liberate Garland Square and suppress the U.R.D.A.. It is a heroic faction in Crisis Zone.
The S.T.F. is headed by Commander Kessler and one of the squads, Squad 1, is led by Claude McGarren (spelled as Croad MacGalain in the Arcade version due to transliteration).
Weapons[]
Squad 1 operatives' standard-issue weapon is the modified Steyr Mannlicher TMP. It is loaded with 40 rounds per magazine and fitted with a laser sight.
Equipment[]
Trucks are used to transport Squad 1 operatives to Garland Park where they disembarked. Those trucks are later commandeered by the U.R.D.A and damaged when a large attack helicopter fired two large missiles to destroy the open linkways of a floating pavilion. The same type of truck is later used to transport Squad 1 operatives back to base after they liberated Garland Square and suppressed the U.R.D.A..
A helicopter resembling a Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight is used to transport Squad 1 operatives to Grassmarket District to annihilate the U.R.D.A. remnants. It is also used by Claude McGarren to pursue Jared Hunter who escaped in an armed cruiser.
