Nu-7 "Hammer Down"

Task Force Designation: Nu-7
Nickname: "Hammer Down"
Primary Deployment Site: Foundation-wide, with a primary base of operations at Armed Bio-Containment Area-14
Task Force Mission: Large-scale containment, recovery, and neutralization of catastrophic threats, including site-wide breaches, enemy compromises, and external anomalous threats.

Overview

Mobile Task Force Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") is the SCP Foundation's largest and most versatile battalion-strength task force. Nu-7 serves as the Foundation's primary response unit for large-scale incidents requiring overwhelming force and strategic coordination. Their missions range from reestablishing control over compromised facilities to neutralizing hostile anomalies and external threats.

Nu-7 operates under the most extreme conditions, including total communication loss with Foundation sites, wide-scale containment breaches, and direct assaults by hostile Groups of Interest (GoIs). Their ability to deploy rapidly and decisively makes them a cornerstone of the Foundation's operational response strategy.

Operational Mandate

1. Containment Recovery: Reestablish control over breached facilities or sectors through coordinated tactical operations.

2. Threat Neutralization: Engage and neutralize high-risk anomalies or external threats using advanced weaponry and tactics.

3. Site Stabilization: Restore critical infrastructure, reestablish communication systems, and secure key assets.

4. Interdepartmental Coordination: Collaborate with other MTF units (e.g., Epsilon-11 "Nine-Tailed Fox") during multi-site or high-priority incidents.

5. Disaster Management: Provide evacuation support, medical assistance, and hazardous material containment during catastrophic events.

Composition

MTF Nu-7 is a battalion-strength force divided into specialized units to handle a wide variety of scenarios:

1. Infantry Companies (x3): Elite special forces trained in high-intensity combat and anomaly containment.

2. Light Armored Vehicle Company: Provides mobility and firepower using armored personnel carriers (APCs) and other vehicles.

3. Tank Platoon: Equipped with heavy armor for engagements requiring maximum firepower.

4. Helicopter Squadron: Supports aerial reconnaissance, rapid troop deployment, and precision strikes.

5. CBRN Platoon: Specializes in handling chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards.

6. Combat Engineer Platoon: Constructs fortifications, repairs infrastructure, and manages explosive ordnance disposal.

7. Nuclear Weapon Specialist (NWS) Squad: Authorized for tactical nuclear deployment in extreme scenarios involving high-risk anomalies.

8. Support Units: Includes logistics personnel, medical teams, intelligence operatives, and communications specialists.

Equipment

Nu-7 is equipped with cutting-edge military hardware designed for versatility in high-risk operations:

• Standard Issue Firearms: High-caliber rifles, shotguns, and sidearms optimized for combating anomalous entities.

• Heavy Weaponry: Rocket launchers, flamethrowers, portable railguns, and anti-material rifles for Keter-class engagements.

• Vehicles: Armored transport vehicles (APCs), tanks, and helicopters equipped with mounted weaponry.

• CBRN Gear: Hazmat suits with integrated life support systems for hazardous environments.

• Tactical Communication Systems: Encrypted radios for secure coordination during operations.

Notable Deployment Protocols

1. SCP-682 Breach Containment:

   • Deployment of heavy armor units to engage SCP-682 while infantry companies secure surrounding sectors.

   • NWS Squad remains on standby for potential nuclear deployment if containment fails.

2. Site-Wide Breach Response:

   • Infantry companies secure perimeter zones while reconnaissance teams assess internal conditions.

   • Combat engineers restore critical systems while armored units neutralize hostile entities.

3. GoI Assault Countermeasures:

   • Rapid mobilization to repel attacks from Groups of Interest such as the Chaos Insurgency or Serpent's Hand.

4. Catastrophic Anomaly Events:

   • CBRN platoons isolate hazardous materials (e.g., SCP-008 outbreaks).

   • Helicopter squadron provides aerial support for reconnaissance or precision strikes on rogue anomalies.

Training Regimen

Nu-7 operatives undergo rigorous training in preparation for their diverse operational mandates:

1. Advanced Combat Training: Focused on urban warfare, close-quarters combat (CQC), and large-scale engagements.

2. Anomaly Containment Drills: Simulations involving high-risk entities such as SCP-096 or SCP-939.

3. Hazardous Material Handling: Specialized protocols for CBRN scenarios.

4. Reconnaissance & Intelligence Gathering: Techniques for identifying threats within compromised facilities.

Command Structure

Nu-7 operates under a hierarchical command structure led by experienced officers:

1. Battalion Commander: Oversees all operations and coordinates with Foundation leadership.

2. Company Commanders: Lead individual infantry companies during field missions.

3. Platoon Leaders: Direct specialized units such as tank platoons or CBRN teams.

Notable Incidents

1. Incident 682-Site 14 Breach (2022):

   • Following a catastrophic breach involving SCP-682 at Armed Bio-Containment Area-14, Nu-7 deployed heavy armor to subdue the entity while combat engineers repaired containment infrastructure.

2. Incident 008-Outbreak (2023):

   • A biohazard outbreak required full mobilization of Nu-7’s CBRN platoon to isolate infected personnel and neutralize the threat before it spread beyond the site.

3. Incident 939-Mass Escape (2024):

   • Multiple instances of SCP-939 escaped containment during a power failure at Site ██. Nu-7’s infantry companies successfully tracked and recontained all instances within 48 hours.

Conclusion

Mobile Task Force Nu-7 "Hammer Down" is the SCP Foundation's ultimate contingency force for catastrophic events. Their unparalleled strength, advanced equipment, and specialized training ensure that even the most dangerous anomalies can be neutralized or contained effectively. As the embodiment of decisive action in the face of overwhelming threats, Nu-7 plays a critical role in maintaining the Foundation’s mission—Secure. Contain. Protect.—under even the direst circumstances.
