This article contains a list of departments in Paragon, their structure, directors and their divisions. It is sorted first by Major Departments, then Minor Departments in alphabetical order. This article also includes non-departments which have a Security Class 4.

Mobile Task Forces

Type: Major
Abbreviation: MTF
Overseer: O5-4
Director (Field Chief): trahacey (list).
Deputy Director (Field Major): JoshuaTLincoln (list)

The Mobile Task Forces were established with one clear vision in mind: to perform specific combat-related tasks under the strategic leadership of the O5 Council.

A triumvirate of highly loyal and elite soldiers with strict discipline and courage, all three of the Mobile Task Forces each serve their duties without question. Eta-9 “Wardens” specialize in re-containment of SCP objects, stepping into areas nobody would ever dare to. Lambda-7 “Doorkickers” serve as the main combative force against hostile organizations, not afraid to sustain a few injuries in the process. Delta-1 “Gatekeepers” ensure the safety of high-valued Foundation members, stalwartly completing this objective even in the scope of the enemy.

Task Forces

The Mobile Task Forces is split into three task forces.

Delta-1

Likewise to how Uriel, the Angel of Wisdom, protects the Garden of Eden, the "Gatekeepers” protect those that the Foundation can not risk losing.

Reserved for those who have proven their skill and efficacy, the members of Delta-1 are considered the most suitable for carrying out the duties necessary to keep the most highly-valued individuals in the Foundation safe. Delta-1 operatives are selected from the most dedicated and committed members already within the Mobile Task Forces.

Lambda-7

From the very establishment of the Mobile Task Forces, Lambda-7 has continuously proven itself to move forward through troubling times. Disciplined in all forms of combat and toughened mentally and physically, hostile forces cower from the very thought of engagement with this prestigious combative division.

Reserved for units who demonstrate excellence in combat-related operations, Lambda-7 specializes primarily in battle against hostilities. Lambda-7 members are selected through incredibly grueling and strict tryouts, designed to filter out those who cannot stand the everyday tests that the “Doorkickers” face.

Eta-9

On account of the exceedingly dangerous and mysterious anomalies studied within Paragon Research Institute, the elite acquisition forces of Eta-9 were deemed apt wardens for these abnormalities.

Eta-9 “Wardens” are selected from the most fearless and courageous prospects who are ready to stare death itself in the eyes and manifest that even the most ferocious of beasts can be controlled. Reserved for the most patient and scrupulous operatives of the task forces capable of planning and deploying contingency countermeasures on the fly. The wardens of Eta-9 possess full control over and excel in the interception, containment, and prevention of active anomaly threats within Paragon.
