the GHOST TEAM
A US Spec Ops Unit working with CIA Case Officer Karen Bowman to destabilize Santa Blanca.
The Ghosts are the spearhead of the US Army’s unconventional warfare quick response forces. They are the first unit deployed into dangerous situations and the last ones to leave when things get rough. They are a reconnaissance and direct action team armed with the latest weapon and sensor technology. Their cutting-edge equipment enhances their unique skills as US Army Special Operators.
While originally part of the US 5th Special Forces Group, the Ghosts are now part of the Group for Specialized Tactics (GST), a Special Mission Unit, reporting directly to US Special Operations Command/Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
This reconnaissance and direct action team is made up of the absolute best of the best of the US military—handpicked from veteran Army Special Forces and Special Operations units from all service branches. The Ghosts’ missions are not about single individuals saving the world; they’re about a team working together.
INDIVIDUALLY, THEY ARE GREAT. Together, they are unbeatable.
As a Special Operations force, they engage in covert/clandestine activities in conflict zones where the US needs maximum impact with zero footprint. Their actions often serve to prevent wars, not incite them.
The Ghosts do not operate in peaceful regions. They fight enemy factions, private military companies, and other complex military or paramilitary organizations, not isolated terrorists.
The Ghosts have greater freedom and autonomy than most units, but still follow mission objectives. They are held accountable for their actions.
Ghosts think before they act. Execution phases are swift and precise. Each situation is assessed properly, and each member of the unit prepares accordingly.
The Ghosts are not a purely “stealth-based” unit. They take advantage of many different means to accomplish their goals, finding ways that enable others to receive credit for their actions. Most often this involves allying with local forces and operating with and through them.
The Ghosts’ Golden Rule is “Credit is Failure.” The unit is legendary, but their actions are anonymous.

He gets antsy when on Rest and Recuperation and has trouble getting back to mundane day-to-day life as he yearns to get back on mission, which affects his personal relationships outside of the military. He’s been married and divorced twice, with a teenage son from his first wife, and struggles to maintain a relationship with his son, who is going through a rebellious phase.
SPECIFIC: During the initial briefing, he saw surveillance footage of Sueño executing the family of a Bolivian police officer. This image has haunted him ever since, making him vow to do everything he can to stop Sueño.

When not on mission, he tends to get rowdy. Known for drunkenly pushing the joke too far and getting into bar fights, Holt does anything to get his adrenaline fix, often at the expense of his female entourage. He’s the only single member of the unit. He is Weaver’s best friend and often drags him into disturbing situations, ones that never fail to create memorable stories.
SPECIFIC: Holt has seen the effect of drugs firsthand. He came from a community that was overrun with oxycodone and other illicit substances.
