501st Special Orbital Assault Raider Detachment ("Hellhounds")
The mission of the 501st SOARD "Hellhounds" is to seize and hold key terrain that has not been fully secured and to directly engage hostile forces behind enemy lines while executing an intensified program of harassment, diversion, physical destruction, acquisition of intelligence, generation of propaganda, raids, ambushes, sabotage, unconventional warfare, citizen rescue and diversion of resources, primarily against the Automaton Legion.
They execute precision orbital assaults, asymmetrical and advanced warfare operations in the defence of Super Earth's interests, leveraging adaptive tactics, superior training (a week-long extension course after the 72h Helldiver basic training), cutting-edge technology, and unyielding resolve.
Founded on the 01. Jan. 2185 in response to the continuing advances of Automaton forces especially in late 2184 and operating under the joint command of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Defence, the Hellhounds are entrusted with safeguarding planetary security through rapid response, surgical strikes and intelligence-driven strategies, combining precision, ingenuity, and uncompromising dedication to dismantle synthetic threats, disrupt enemy advancements, and secure humanity's future against the relentless attack of the Automatons, ensuring the continued prosperity and dominance of Super Earth across hostile and contested territories.
