2nd Special Mechanized Operations Forces Phantom Pain
- Unit Mission - To hunt down and eliminate hostile power armors. Phantom Pain specializes in variable terrain and variable objective operations. Our objective is to ensure peace by stomping all opposition with an iron boot.
- Personal Selection - Phantom Pain only takes the strongest and brightest in the USMP forces. Power Armor use is only one of the many skills desired by our unit. Hand to hand, tactical analysis, marksmenship, and the will to survive under the toughest conditions are a must. Two years minimal in the forces are required to join and six of them must have been in a Mechanized Operations force. We scout the best from all normal forces in order to ensure that we continue to be the best.
- Tactical Gear - All combat members of Phantom Pain are trained in the use of power armors, especially the GAT-02L2 Dagger L. This unit is designed to be operation specific and can be outfitted for all mission types thanks to its Striker system. This state of the art unit provides flexibility and armament to counter even enemy Gundam PAs.

- History - Organized during the early part of power armor combat the 2nd SMO was designed to bring together talented soldiers from all parts of the USMP. Like other SMOs they focus on specialized combat operations and tactical superiority. But unlike others the 2nd experimented with multi-mode power armors that would provide unrivaled tactical ability. A gundam was build as the prototype for the current system known as the Strike Gundma, where the term Striker Packs came from, but it has sensed been mothballed. The current system took what was proven to be revolutionary and made it standard as well as added more basic armaments.
The current name "Phantom Pain" was given after the original squad leader was killed during combat. His phantom gave pain to those he left behind and his memory haunted his enemies. After the tragic death a new younger soldier was brought in to replace him. Lt. Kyle Ryder, an ex-member of the USMP Armor Hunter division, was brought in. His place in the squad was cemented because his specialty was hunting Gundams... |
