Fiction writers generally like to use Real Life settings when writing about war stories or government procedurals, featuring real countries, militaries, paramilitary forces, law enforcement agencies, fire brigades, ambulance services, and so on, but would rather make sure that no actual discernable units or agencies be featured. Also, when dealing military units in particular, it is easy to make mistakes that professionals will sport - especially when dealing with the vast array of British army regiments. The easiest way is to come up with their own units that are at best only loosely inspired by their real counterparts and bring along their very own set of customised skills. Sub-Trope of No Communities Were Harmed. Hollywood Cop Uniform, Hollywood Military Uniform and Elites Are More Glamorous are regularly in effect, as are Like Reality, Unless Noted and Alternate History. May be the result of Video Game Historical Revisionism in that medium. Not to be confused with its smaller Sister Trope, Government Agency of Fiction, which specifically concerns itself with wholly fictional bureaucratic departments, intelligence agencies, and everything in-between (think the US Department of Mutant Affairs). Both tropes share a preference for Fun with Acronyms. Also not to be confused with its other sisters, Fictional Province and Barsetshire, which focus on fictive geographical subdivisions of real places. Fictional Units whose only outstanding feature is being tied to an equally fictional place (such as, say, Midsomer Constabulary of County Midsomer) go there. Compare with Interpol Special Agent, United Nations Is a Superpower, and Fantasy Counterpart Culture. Examples |

Company of Heroes features the Panzer Elite faction and the Knight's Cross Holders squads. Both draw from individual historical Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS units but are otherwise completely fictional. | |

The Transformers Megaseries: Skywatch is a government organisation created to investigate alien activity. It received a huge boost in funding and government support when its operatives uncovered undeniable proof of alien presence: three inert giant robots and a full-sized extraterrestrial bunker they refurbished into a research facility. As time passes, despite all their preparation they prove woefully inadequate to stand against the Transformers once their cold war goes hot. In the aftermath of The Transformers: All Hail Megatron, Skywatch comes under the auspices of the United Nations with a much wider range of powers to counter the Transformers, but eventually after a series of scandals and failures, it's disbanded and replaced with the Earth Defense Command. | |

The "specialized" samurai units (ex. Katana Samurai, Yari Samurai, Bow Samurai, etc.) in Total War: Shogun 2 would not have existed as such. Part of the samurai bushido code was being proficient in all three weapon types, with the katana explicitly a secondary melee weapon if the yari (spear) was broken or discarded. | |

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero: G.I.Joe is described in the opening narration as "a special mission force" specifically formed to combat COBRA, "a ruthless terrorist organisation determined to rule the world". Throughout the series, they're shown working together with the Army, Navy, and Air Force as the need arises (e.g. in "Sink The Montana" they work with the Navy in trying to sink the titular battleship, Colonel Sharp of the US Army is a recurring supporting character). | |

G.I. Joe In the Marvel Comics, G.I.Joe is identified as "Special Counter-Terrorist Unit Delta", a special forces unit under the US Department of Defense. It's because of this unusual position that the Joe team is able to draw members from every branch of the US military (e.g. Duke is from the Army, Ace from the Air Force, Shipwreck is a Navy man, Beachhead is a Ranger, Leatherneck a Marine, Wetsuit a Navy SEAL), in addition to a few international members like Flint. In an example of Early-Installment Weirdness, in the early stories, the Joes were a secret unit and had their base hidden under the motor pool of a military base, with the members of the Joe team being considered a disgrace to the uniform as a part of their cover. On one occasion, a Mossad agent observed that the Joes were "too scruffy to be Delta (Force), not crazy enough to be SOG". The "hidden unit" aspect was dropped after COBRA discovered their base and launched an attack, causing the Joe team to go public. | |

Half-Life: The Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) is a US military unit specialized in fighting in, well, hazardous environments such as the inside of buildings or in radioactive areas. Whilst their infantry and V-22 Osprey transports are all but stated to be from the United States Marine Corps, their Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Apache attack helicopters are from the US Army, while their F-16 fighters are from the US Air Force. Because of this, it's heavily implied that they're a joint Special Forces unit like SOCOM. Half-Life: Opposing Force: The Black Ops are introduced as a complete unit in this Expansion Pack. They are a secretive elite unit of government assassins with the mission of continuing the HECU's Fiery Cover-Up of the Black Mesa incident following the former suffering heavy casualties and ultimately pulling out of the facility. Unfortunately for the HECU units still stranded in Black Mesa, they're also among those targeted by the Black Ops, who by this point have made sure to Leave No Witnesses. They're equipped with the same small arms, transport trucks, and Apache Helicopters as their USMC counterparts, and come in both male and female variants. Due to their secretive nature, however, it's unknown which branch of the US military or government they're actually part of, not helped by the fact that all of them are Silent Antagonists, not even muttering any noises upon death. Black Mesa: The Hazardous Environment Combat Unit in this Fan Remake is explicitly from the United States Marine Corps, with this incarnation's Armored Personnel Carrier being the LAV-25, and their main strike aircraft being the AV-8 Harrier II. Much like their original counterparts, their job is to enforce a Fiery Cover-Up of the facility, by attempting to halt the Alien Invasion as well as Leave No Witnesses, in this case the Black Mesa personnel. |

Transformers: The Last Knight: The Transformers Reaction Force is an international unit that similarly intends to track down, capture and/or kill Transformers, though unlike Cemetery Wind their actions are fully backed by the majority of Earth's governments (barring Cuba, which offered Transformers sanctuary). In an example of extreme short-sightedness, the TRF higher-ups agreed to ally briefly with Megatron in order to track down a group of human sympathisers and several remaining Autobots. Megatron naturally betrayed them and almost destroyed Earth in the process, until TRF field units took initiative and allied with the Autobots to stop him. | |

Secret Weapons Over Normandy: Both the Royal Air Force (later the United States Army Air Forces as well once the US enters World War II) and the German Luftwaffe have their own respective units that fall under this trope. The Battlehawks are an elite fighter squadron established under the supervision of the SOE. At first, they were an Eagle Squadron composed of pilots from different parts of Nazi-occupied Europe, the United Kingdom, and the then-neutral United States, their job was to carry out the SOE's mandate of "setting Europe ablaze". Once the United States and Japan enter the war, however, they reorganize themselves into a Multinational Team slash joint Allied venture dedicated to stopping their Arch-Enemy, the German Luftwaffe's Nemesis Squadron, from supplying weapons and resources to their Japanese allies, and later, the squadron's numerous wonderweapons projects. Nemesis was initially established as an elite unit in the German Luftwaffe. Led by the enigmatic Oberst Krieger, the unit is composed entirely of the Luftwaffe's best-trained and most skilled Ace Pilots. Unlike most Luftwaffe units, Nemesis operates both fighters and bombers simultaneously. Following the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Nemesis makes further ventures, first by supplying the Japanese with German weapons designs and resources via U-boat, and later, leading the development of various wonderweapons projects. |

Minority Report: The Washington, D.C. Police Dept's Pre-Crime Division uses three precognitive individuals to predict imminent murder. By the time the movie takes place, they have reduced the murder rate in the nation's capital to nearly zero. It does have a few flaws in the system, however, and the division's founder is able to use them to commit murder himself. | |

Captain America: The First Avenger: The Strategic Science Reserve, or SSR for short, was a top-secret Allied unit established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to combat HYDRA. They were the ones behind Project Rebirth, a program intent on mass producing Super Soldiers via a Super Serum concocted by Dr. Abraham Erskine, which led to Steve Rogers becoming Captain America. While initially thought a failure following Erskine's assassination and the destruction of the remaining vials of super soldier serum, once Rogers actually proves himself in combat, the unit's goals change to directly combating HYDRA. Following the end of the war, the SSR would serve as the basis for its successor, the government agency SHIELD. HYDRA is a Waffen-SS unit that specializes in carrying out advanced scientific research for the Third Reich. Led by Johann Schmidt, the unit was originally tasked with developing advanced, war-winning wonderweapons for the Third Reich, before Schmidt secretly separated the unit from the Reich in 1943. |

Transformers: EarthSpark: G.H.O.S.T. (Global Hazard and Ordinance Strike Team) is a US government organisation founded thirty years prior to the beginning of the series. They were initially formed to combat the strange giant robots that had suddenly appeared, but by the time of the series, their purpose is to foster human-Autobot relationships (a flashback depicts some of their members leading units of the US Army in support of the Autobots). Despite this, most of their operations revolve around hunting down and capturing rogue Transformers, and it's also made clear that, despite their long-standing alliance, neither G.H.O.S.T. nor the Autobots fully trust each other (a major example being how Optimus Prime deliberately keeps the presence of Bumblebee a secret from them). | |

Black Mirror: Black Mirror: Smithereens: The Greater London Police serves as a fictionalised analogue to Metropolitan Police of London. Black Mirror: Men Against Fire: The unnamed military force the protagonist serves in is decked out in US Army equipment and uniforms, strongly implying it to be a fictionalised 20 Minutes into the Future version of the same. This is all but confirmed in Black Mirror: Hated in the Nation, where it's revealed on TV that the "US military announces MASS project". |

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: The titular organization, established by the US government, is mainly tasked with providing Rescue services for the city of Mariner Bay during times of crisis and emergency. Its other task is to take down the threat of the Demons, and for that, they've established their own team of Power Rangers. | |

Transformers: Age of Extinction: Cemetery Wind is a black ops unit organised by the CIA to hunt down, capture and destroy Decepticons... or at least it was. By the time of the film's events, the unit has outright gone rogue and murdered several US government-allied Autobots, though the government higher-ups were unaware of this. Optimus Prime slew their leader for his murder of the Autobots, and most of their personnel were slaughtered in the crossfire of the climax. | |

Transformers Film Series: Transformers (2007): Sector Seven is a secret government agency that operates under the Department of Defense, specialising in recovering and reverse-engineering alien technology. Their crown jewels are the AllSpark and the "Iceman", which they've been slowly researching for decades. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen: Sector Seven is revealed to have been disbanded due to fallout from the climax of the first film where the Iceman (in truth, Decepticon leader Megatron) broke free and led an attack on a nearby city, causing massive damage and civilian casualties. Sector Seven was replaced by N.E.S.T. (Non-biological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty), a military unit specifically tasked with tracking down and combating hostile alien lifeforms, which mostly means the Decepticons. NEST operates under the authority of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Transformers: Age of Extinction: Cemetery Wind is a black ops unit organised by the CIA to hunt down, capture and destroy Decepticons... or at least it was. By the time of the film's events, the unit has outright gone rogue and murdered several US government-allied Autobots, though the government higher-ups were unaware of this. Optimus Prime slew their leader for his murder of the Autobots, and most of their personnel were slaughtered in the crossfire of the climax. Transformers: The Last Knight: The Transformers Reaction Force is an international unit that similarly intends to track down, capture and/or kill Transformers, though unlike Cemetery Wind their actions are fully backed by the majority of Earth's governments (barring Cuba, which offered Transformers sanctuary). In an example of extreme short-sightedness, the TRF higher-ups agreed to ally briefly with Megatron in order to track down a group of human sympathisers and several remaining Autobots. Megatron naturally betrayed them and almost destroyed Earth in the process, until TRF field units took initiative and allied with the Autobots to stop him. Bumblebee: Sector Seven appears, covertly conducting exercises with US military forces and recruiting several survivors of Blitzwing's initial assault on the US military personnel. |

First mentioned in a deleted scene in Thor and properly introduced in Wandavision, SWORD is the American-based Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Division note This is changed from the comics, where SWORD stood for Sentient World Observation and Response Department and was a subdivision of SHIELD , founded by Maria Rambeau in 1995. It originally focused on manned space missions and extraterrestrial operations, but after Rambeau's death in 2020, new director Tyler Hayward began to redirect the agency's resources to robotics, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence (in particular trying to reactivate or recreate the deceased Vision as a weapon, in spite of his last wishes ). | |

Sniper Elite 4: The Valkyrie Jager are an elite unit of German paratroopers deployed to both Northern Italy and Southern Germany. They mainly serve as a Praetorian Guard unit, accompanying high-ranking German officers and scientists, particularly those involved with the "Deathstorm" atomic weapons project. Compared to their peers, they're equipped with the latest weapons that Nazi Germany has to offer, including large numbers of automatic rifles and even experimental rocket launchers. | |

Total War franchise: Rome: Total War: Many of the "barbarian" faction rosters include ahistoric units meant to make them seem more classically barbaric to modern audiences. The Germans, primarily light infantry spear-users during that time period in real life, have "berserker" units who wear furs and wield giant battle axes. Similarly, the Britons have "head hurlers" who toss severed heads as an attack (it's not very powerful but is one of the biggest morale drains in the game). While there is some historical evidence of Britons from that time taking severed heads as trophies, there is none supporting the idea that they threw them at enemies. The Roman factions include some units that get their names from real-life counterparts but do not function anything like them. Urban Cohorts are on the same level as the Praetorian Guard in-game, but in real life were more like a Town Watch police force and firefighters. Similarly, Arcani are treated as elite McNinja troops in-game but in real life were a small unit of Roman agents who definitely did not dress like ninjas. The "specialized" samurai units (ex. Katana Samurai, Yari Samurai, Bow Samurai, etc.) in Total War: Shogun 2 would not have existed as such. Part of the samurai bushido code was being proficient in all three weapon types, with the katana explicitly a secondary melee weapon if the yari (spear) was broken or discarded. |

What If…? (2021): What If…? S1E1 "What If… Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?": Much like its Sacred Timeline counterpart, HYDRA is a Waffen-SS unit led by Johann Schmidt, specializing mainly in supernatural sciences rather than conventional science. Unlike their Sacred Timeline counterparts, they never get to experiment with the Tesseract and are armed with conventional German weapons, uniforms, and vehicles all the way up to the end of the European War. Their reasons for separating from the Third Reich this time around are due to the Nazi regime coming close to collapsing by 1945, with Schmidt deciding that HYDRA would outlive and replace them. Much like in the Sacred Timeline, the SSR was a top-secret Allied unit intent on combating the threat that HYDRA, Hitler's supernatural sciences division, posed. Initially, their version of Project Rebirth was also thought to be a failure thanks to Heinz Kruger's intervention, resulting in the loss of Erskine and the remaining vials of serum from Kruger's bomb. With Rogers, who was wounded by Kruger, becoming the Super-Soldier, Peggy Carter volunteers in his stead. She then proves herself by heading into Berlin alone and straight-up stealing the Tesseract and capturing Dr. Arnim Zola. Pretty soon, under the now-Captain Carter's leadership, the SSR's goals become the same as its Sacred Timeline counterpart, complete with the unit becoming a part of SHIELD following the end of the war. |

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series: The Global Defense Initiative (GDI) is originally created by the United Nations as a special task force to combat the terrorist threat of the Brotherhood of Nod in addition to dealing with the growing Tiberium crisis. It was formed out of an earlier unit known as Special Operations Group Echo, Black Ops 9, though little is known about that particular unit. Eventually, GDI outgrows its original mandate and, as national governments collapse due to the changes brought on by Tiberium, they step in to fill the role of a new world government. | |

A staple of the Sharpe series of books: The South Essex Regiment is a fictional line infantry regiment of the British Army, raised and originally commanded by the aristocrat Colonel Sir Henry Simmerson, partially as the front of a crimping scheme. It is later renamed to the Prince of Wales' Own Volunteers after Sharpe successfully curries the favour of Prince Regent George. Brigadier General Guy Loup leads the Wolf Brigade, a light infantry unit in the Imperial French Army that completely embraces its wolf theme, down to the regimental colours, uniforms, and conduct on the battlefield. The Real Compania Irlandesa, a Spanish line infantry company, is the Irish Cadre of Foreign Bodyguards (read: "toy soldiers") to the King of Spain, which falls under British command during the events of the book. It is loosely based on the Regimiento Hibernia. The Scarsdale Yeomanry is a cavalry militia unit based in Yorkshire, commanded by the posh Captain George Wickham. Most of its day-to-day business consists of union-busting on behalf of the local landowners. |

Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders follows the US Federal Bureau of Investigation's fictional International Response Team as they seek to rescue Americans who are kidnapped or go missing in other countries. While the agents are armed, in most cases they request permission to carry and use their weapons while "in country" and are occasionally denied. The actual FBI has no such armed unit but does take part in the US's Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell along with other agencies such as the Department of State and Department of Defense. Among other things, the HRFC includes hostage negotiators and support for victims' families. | |

Roswell Conspiracies: The Alliance is an organization that monitors and controls extraterrestrials living on Earth. Its backstory is that it was created initially by the US Air Force, which also staged the Roswell incident as a distraction to keep the public focused on that instead of what was really going on. Since then it has become a seemingly autonomous entity that appears to have hidden its existence from the organizations that created it. | |

The Transformers (Marvel): The Intelligence and Information Institute (I.I.I.) was formed under the auspices of the National Security Council in response to reports of strange gigantic robots appearing in Oregon. III organised the Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team (R.A.A.T.) in an attempt to contain this potential threat while III focused on spinning things to avoid panic. Both III and RAAT wind up being complete failures, as they stubbornly refused to believe there were two separate warring factions and one was friendly. At one point, the Autobots under Grimlock even completely abandon Earth and simply let the Decepticons run roughshod with RAAT unable to muster any sort of countermeasure, and to rub it in, the Decepticon leader Ratbat even thanks them for making the Decepticons' jobs easier by being so stubborn. Both III and RAAT were shortly disbanded following that debacle (which was televised live to boot). | |

Mission: Impossible centers on the IMF, a team of cherry-picked specialists conducting covert missions worldwide. Team leader Jim Phelps receives his assignments via a tape recorder that self-destructs. The penultimate line of these messages is: "If you or any of your I.M. Force is captured or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions." It's not specified whether this is the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of State; in any case, the IMF gives the department Plausible Deniability. | |

Transformers: While mostly about the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, there have been times when these sorts of units have been set up by humans in response to their arrival/conflict on Earth. Transformers: Prime: Unit: E is a mysterious federal agency, represented in the series by Agent Fowler, the US government liaison to the Autobots. Throughout the series, Agent Fowler is able to call upon various resources to aid the Autobots, including US Army units, Skystrikers from G.I. Joe, and even an experimental vehicle from M.A.S.K.. Transformers: EarthSpark: G.H.O.S.T. (Global Hazard and Ordinance Strike Team) is a US government organisation founded thirty years prior to the beginning of the series. They were initially formed to combat the strange giant robots that had suddenly appeared, but by the time of the series, their purpose is to foster human-Autobot relationships (a flashback depicts some of their members leading units of the US Army in support of the Autobots). Despite this, most of their operations revolve around hunting down and capturing rogue Transformers, and it's also made clear that, despite their long-standing alliance, neither G.H.O.S.T. nor the Autobots fully trust each other (a major example being how Optimus Prime deliberately keeps the presence of Bumblebee a secret from them). |
