High-tech special troop founded in the 1990's to fight against local rebellion, regional war, terrorist activities, etc. This is an underground agency which enters into action if military intervention has to be refrained from, for political reasons.

Firstly, a Metal Gear is a nuclear-mountable walking tank, in another word a walking tank which can fire nuclear, and the main purpose of the series is to launch various missiles with nuclear warheads to all around the world from any locations, depending on various situations. Appearance of this system, to the West which relied on SNW "trinity" like ICBM, SLBM, BS, B-B, and to the East which relied on ICBMs, posed as a real "threat". Until then, launching ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile), which is known as a tactical method with range over 5500 kilometers, was possible only from various nuclear sites. This fact left some warfare questions unsolved. Needless to say, vigilance from both East and West are 24 hours over these sites, and at the same time target of enemy attacks. Even a slight move will be detected, and provide a chance for counterattack. This is a effect that might be referred as "security power" which is natural to nuclear, anyway... On the other hand, SLBM (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile) can be, as its name indicates, fired from any sea area as long as it is underwater, but cannot be launched from the land. Even less from mountains and desert area, a ridiculous dream. And about dropping from long-range bombers, the success rate to reach the drop point is low, and unlike submarines which can act completely independently, there are problems like refueling and several others. Metal Gear series have solved all these matters, and furthermore, not only that they can fire middle-range nuclear like LINF with ranges shorter than 5500 kilometers and SINF (550 to 1000), but even short-range nuclear with range below 500 kilometers. By simply changing every kind of nuclear modules, they can fire any missiles. And they are mobile by their own, and adding to that, they can fire from where tanks even tanks cannot enter. They can fire from all the area, all the points which were not included in world nuclear warfare map. At the same time not only as a role of mobile nuclear launcher, they are equipped with weapons (Vulcan guns, machine guns and missiles) which support their own launching of nuclear, so can act independently in regional battlefields. This is why East, West, and all the world fear existence of these war machines. The appearance of Metal Gear is a dangerous occasion, which might collapse world military balance and nuclear security balance.
