NEXT GENERATION SPECIAL FORCES

Learn about the Next Generation Special Forces in Metal Gear, formed from FOX HOUND and Outer Heaven mercenaries after Big Boss's death.

The Next Generation Special Forces are reserve members of Unit FOX HOUND (a special forces group), selected after undergoing genetic map testing. They were originally members of a counter-terrorist special forces group. After the death of Big Boss, the mercenaries employed by "Outer Heaven" were purchased by the government and added to the group to form the Next Generation Special Forces. Although most of these soldiers have no real battle experience, they were trained with FORCE XXI. FORCE XXI refers to the army's 21st century soldiers, who underwent extensive gene therapy. These wargames were designed to simulate conflicts that were likely to occur in the next millennium. All of these soldiers are highly capable and carry the nickname "Space SEALS".
