174th Battle Group "Red Right Hand" Charter
This Charter governs the conduct, discipline, and soul of every operative of the 174th Battle Group. Violation of these articles results in immediate termination.
ARTICLE I: THE LAW OF ANONYMITY
"The Hand Has No Name."
From the moment of induction, the operative ceases to exist as an individual. You have no past. You have no future outside the unit. You are a number, a callsign, a weapon. You will seek no glory, claim no credit, and leave no trace. Your face is the face of the unit; your voice is the sound of the mission. To be known is to fail.
ARTICLE II: THE LAW OF ABSOLUTE RESOLVE
"The Grip Does Not Yield."
Once an objective is engaged, it must be completed. There is no retreat, no surrender, and no failure. Obstacles are not reasons to stop; they are variables to be eliminated. If the primary plan fails, the hand makes a fist and smashes through. The mission ends only when the target is neutralized or the operative is dead.
ARTICLE III: THE LAW OF DENIABILITY
"Blood Washes Off."
If captured, the operative is alone. The State will not acknowledge you. The Unit will not save you. You carry the means to ensure you are never interrogated. The secrets of the Right Hand are more valuable than the life of any single finger. You will protect the silence with your final breath.
ARTICLE IV: THE LAW OF BROTHERHOOD
"One Pulse, One Vein."
Internal conflict is the death of the unit. Loyalty to the operative beside you is absolute, second only to the mission. We share the burden of the blood we spill. No operative is left behind, dead or alive, unless their recovery compromises the existence of the Unit itself.
ARTICLE V: THE LAW OF RETRIBUTION
"Dextera Sanguinea Vindictae."
We do not strike in anger, but we strike with devastating finality. Violence is our currency, and we pay in full. When we are unleashed, we ensure that the threat is not just stopped, but dismantled so thoroughly that it can never rise again.
