Hierarchy
The Force of July uses the rank structure of the army
Agent 1st-3rd level; Includes only those recently introduced to the Force. These are the support troops who aid the regular Force. Although similarly equipped to an Officer, Agents have less training. Non metas serve as Lawgivers or Lawmasters.
Officer 4th-12th level; Those who have proven their loyalty and worth. The higher their level the more duties they are allowed. Each is well trained in all forms of armed and unarmed combat.
Patriot 13th-14th level; There are 12 of these, each in charge of a part of the United States and have the same powers as Super Patriot within his own jurisdiction
Super Patriot 15th level; In charge of the entire Force, answerable only to the President of the U.S.
United States President Is kept constantly up to date by Super Patriot (more or less) on the Force's activities and any problems. He also decides on the funding for the Force and can arrange additional assistance as required
Structure
What follows are the top secret sections of the CIA. Only the Force of July was publicly acknowledged.
Crisis Intervention Unit: The black ops side of the Force of July
Force of July: This is the official public face of the organizationusing well known American heroes
Lawgiver: These are the Force's standard troops, among the best trained combatants America has to offer. All are equipped with modern weaponry and if necessary backed by Lawmasters.
Lawmaster: Named for the heavy suits of battle armor they wear the Lawmasters are heavily armed and armored, equipped with the latest in military technology.
Project Arcane: Magical research; attempting to understand how spells and mana work.
Project Armor: Bionics and Robotics research; developing the latest in cutting edge military hardware.
Project Ego: Meta gene research; discovering how powers work. This section also keeps an active catalogue of every metahuman out there and their abilities.
Project Factory: Artifacts research; mystical weapons.
Project Genocide: Research into the extermination of paranormals, extraterrestrials and those with the meta gene.
Project Occult: Mythical races research; their life cycle and of course how to kill them.
Project Prometheus: Alien section; dissecting extraterrestrials and determining how their technology works.
Project Sentinel: The Supersoldier project; ongoing research into creating the perfect super infantry.
Operations
The Force of July is the United States government's answer to all super powered threats. With superior training and hardware on the cutting edge of technology this elite force stands ready to defeat super menaces of all kinds. The Force is a government organizationwhich is designed to monitor and counter paranormal activities. The Force is an agency of last resort. Only if the civil police are unable to handle the situation will the Force be called in.
The Force of July is also responsible for investigating unsolved crimes in which supervillains may have been involved. It is the job of each Patriot and his division to try and prevent an emergency before it occurs. As part of this the Force actively and often invasively keeps track of all known meta humans.
The Force is often used as a field testing facility. Usually their agents will be equipped with weaponry that has never been seen before, much less used.
In a worst case scenario campaign the Force will also eventually try to take over the United States. They will then attempt to recruit all suitable meta humans, any who refuse will be eliminated.
