Missions

Operation Urgent Light

One of NASA's comet probes has gone down in Afghanistan, near the Pakistan border. The area is remote and hostile. Taliban forces are known to hide in the mountainous region. USAF tracked the probe through atmospheric re-entry and have determined a 5 square mile area near the village of Asmar in which the craft could be located. Two scientists from NASA join Team Delta on this mission.

Operation Ghost Wind

Thought dead, Captain Sean Riley revived and, crazed with fever, attempted to bite several personnel. Riley managed to wound two of the attending medics before fleeing Camp Romero and escaping into the Afghan hills. Members of USMC 5th Reconnaissance gave pursuit. Riley was shot several times before falling into a deep ravine. A search for Riley’s body was begun but abandoned at 18:00 as darkness fell and Taliban forces were sighted in area. NASA Special Operations Command orders Team Delta to retrieve Captain Riley's body and return to Moffett Field.

Operation Silent Proof

Team Delta is assigned to retrieve a suspected Chinese spy satellite that has crashed near Twin Falls, New Mexico.

Dissolution of Team Delta

In the aftermath of Operation Silent Proof, Team Delta was dissolved and eliminated from NASA Special Operations Command. Team Delta personnel were transferred to US Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command.
