The core members of the unit were the survivors of the Poland part of the campaign but SOG 1 (as Po styled the unit) was fully brought together at Little Creek, Virginia in January 2001. A hefty chunk of the group's fast movers were from "Team Panama", a hodge podge of US and allied personnel who had been forced to find their own way back to the CONUS from Panama after that area was abandoned by MilGov forces (many of them had been operating in other parts of Central and South America and ended up in Panama too late to be evacuated with the rest of US forces).
I forgot to include one very useful component of Po's command, a four-man ISA team which had also come back from the south with "Team Panama". Unlike many of the other SF personnel whom Po basically poached from the units they were serving in in and around Norfolk, the ISA team was assigned to Po's unit by the MilGov commanders who tasked Po with recovering the NYC gold reserves. It was felt that the mission was important enough to justify assigning him that high level of specialist intelligence assets. The ISA guys were some very switched on dudes.
SOG 1 was engaged in aggressive reconnaissance of NYC, resulting in some vicious battles with harbour pirates as well as forces of The Dukes and Hizzoner the Mayor. There was also a nasty little shadow war going on between Po's men and an entrenched and very active CIA cell which was also looking for the gold reserves. SOG 1 ended up wiping out the CIA cell to the last man. That was a fun part of the campaign for me as GM.
