Survey Corps

The Survey Corps also known as the Scouting Legion, Scout Regiment, or Recon Corps, is the driving force of the plot and story as it is the branch of the Military most actively involved in direct Titan combat, Titan study, human expansion, and outside exploration. They have the best soldiers and are the most skilled in using the Vertical Maneuvering Equipment. But, despite having little success, they still symbolize 'the hope of mankind' with their insignia being known as 'the Wings of Freedom'. They hope that someday, their efforts will change the world and they'll be able to recover what has been taken away from humanity. Since they directly fight titans, especially far away from the safety of the walls, this corps has a high fatality rate.

This group was founded 50 years ago. Established off of the main Garrison Regiment it was created to expand humanity's reach and create more room for the ever expanding population.
