12 men are admitted to a hospital in Syria staffed by United Nations humanitarian workers and doctors without borders.

They have endured a ballistic warhead launched by ISIS in the region.

Three days later, 6 out of the 12 men start coughing up blood.

Eight days later, 8 of them.

Twelve days later, blisters start forming on the eight men. All Syrian nationals. The remaining 4 are slavic men from Russia. They appear to be unaffected by the ailment.

Investigations into the disease proves fruitless. They’ve all been bunking together, drinking together, eating together.

The United Nations Committee for war crimes are asked to investigate. They too come up empty-handed. They speculate biological weapons. An advanced kind designed to target only specific genetic structures.

UNOPS and the committee for war crimes, in secret, decide to establish a local presence from a militarized unit to find out what happened and who is responsible.

Informed by the American Central Intelligence Agency and their utility of a Black Battalion, the original high-ranked members of that unit are tasked with re-establishing an identical unit in the region. Given an undisclosed amount of funds contributed by all of the United Nations member countries.

A decree demands that all member operators of this division must be recruited from across the member countries’ various armed forces and security entities.

This group is dubbed “CALTROP”
