Equestrian Military Unit File
TOP SECRETUnit: 1st Special Operations Group
Sub-units: 1st Tactical Fighter Squadron 'Starbirds'
1st Armoured Company 'Steel Strikers'
1st Special Operations Platoon 'Ghosts'Unit overview: The 1st SOG is a elite special forces unit that uses extremely advanced weaponry and tactics to accomplish operations that regular units would find nearly impossible. It is split into four sub-units that often operate independently from each other, though often lending support to the others. An interesting fact worth mention is that the unit's equipment, as well as half the personnel, are of alien origins. They call themselves 'humans', and all became ponies upon arrival in Equestria, which they claim is a complete accident. After arrival, they eventually became part of the Equestrian military, and have trained ponies to use their surplus equipment becoming the 1st SOG. Since their inception, they have distinguished themselves, successfully eliminating two rampaging dragons and three hydras.

Sorry about the huge description, couldn't resist!
Takes place after first four episodes of season one.
Cover is by Buckweiser on DeviantArt, I don't know him personally but go check his stuff out. It's pretty sweet…How? Mouse over the pic genius!
So...I am currently in the process of writing a different version of this story. Its gonna be a fair while before I post it, but it has the similar but heavily revamped plot written in a completely different style. So keep an eye out for that.
Finally! Thank you!
You've certainly gotten better in writing
.
5031258 I meant another chapter. Sorry, major typo.
Is the main character a girl now?
Is the main character a girl now?
5033521 Yes she is.
5033520 Yes she is.
Pining for the fjords, or just think you're getting better?
5033864 Sorry for the double comment, my phone glitched.
Ahhhh MUCH better.
If I were the Princesses should they find out the details of the extent of the ammo stores, I'd be checking my "Enemies" list quite closely.
If the world is maintaining Harmony by bringing in 3 top-tier fighter planes, including a 2-seat trainer, and serious Air-2-air missles and shells, bunker busters, and runway cratering bombs, a LOT of somebodies somewhere are a dire enough threat to need them...
5038715 yup. And that's not mentioning all of it! *cough*discription*cough*
5038786
?...
*Goes to title page*
Ohhh the desc has changed too! I just jumped in direct from the announcement on the feed.
Good to see this is finally back, and better than ever.
The website updated the notification emails, so I thought my update was coming through twitter for some reason. Either way, good chapter!
So the transformation is not as descriptive as before, but here's a question, why did she end up having her uniform when she changed back to a human temporarily and not have one by the time she turned back into Rainbow Dash? In the other version the main character was there in his uniform, I think.
5076873 um...I really didn't want to have to write the awkwardness that would ensue if she appeared naked. And no the protagonist didn't have a flight suit on after turning back to a pony in the origanal.

So it did happened the same way, but still it's an odd thing that has happened with the spell, which raised the question, then again it could be explained away that the purpose of the spell is to show what the protagonist looked like before they changed back....
I believe this is a remnant from when the protagonist was male
5081387 oops :P I'll fix that.
it lives
All that I can say about this is that it feels like filler.

Weeeeeeeee a story with correct radio discipline
Cant wait to see if the dragon is foreshadowing...
BY THE FORERUNNERS IT LIVES!!!! IT LIVES!!!
I always thought this was a story with interesting potential. Good to see that it lives still!
Gotta say, it's good to have a story with aircraft using proper radio chatter.

I try. I'm only 17 but I have taken a ride in the back of a CF-18. My cousin managed it. She's a Hornet driver. That's also how I ln the correct radio procedures.
5679340 I envy you
5680594
Lotta my friends do too. :P
It's like I'm getting a crash course on flight lessons just like Dash. Though I wonder if Tiger is still going to be a human or become a griffon because of her codename.

Neither actually...*evil laugh*

I figured as much, another pony. Who it'll be this time will be shown in the next chapter.
5723195 if you've watched the movie 'surfs up', why not do the new storie like that? It is a combination of interviews and story
6515511 Never seen it. I am actually borrowing a lot from World War Z (the book not the movie) in terms of how I'm doing it.
Why was this cancelled?
