The Inside Story Behind the UNSC's Most Disastrous Special Forces Program

The Inside Story Behind the UNSC's Most Disastrous Special Forces Program was a comprehensive yet controversial exposé published in the aftermath of the Galactic War that described the special operations- and paramilitary-centered approach that the United Nations Space Command took in combating terrorism prior to the onset of the Galactic War. Although this unconventional warfare posture was initially promising, it was eventually ruinous and was proven to be ineffectual.

The book, authored by Command Sergeant Major Redmond-M094 (Ret.), a former special operator within the 1st Marine Expeditionary Reconnaissance Company who was at the centerpiece of this UNSC counterterrorism strategy, elicited fury amongst UNSC Special Operations Command and UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence personnel. Both Special Forces and Naval Intelligence personnel alike claimed that the exposé's claims were simply untrue, and that they constituted a serious security breach, fatally compromising the operational security of special access programs that had been running covertly for nearly twenty years. The book was written with contributions from Admiral Kawika Ichida Son (Ret.) (who was formerly Commander-in-Chief, UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command), Lieutenant Commander Simon-G294 (Ret.), and Captain Richard Gregory Ives, all of whom were Special Forces personnel extensively involved with the UNSC's counterinsurgency campaigns.
