The Giretsu Kureirai were an airborne commando unit. As the American bombing campaign against Japan intensified, they were created to raid and attack airbases that were established throughout the Pacific. The air war was especially central to the Pacific theatre as the point for many battles and campaigns was to destroy enemy air bases and to establish friendly US air bases as they paved the way to Japan. Their first raid was planned for the Marianas but that was cancelled, their next was Iwo Jima but that too was cancelled. Finally they had their first mission during the battle for Okinawa to raid Yongtong airfield. This operation was near disastrous as 4 transport planes had to abort with engine problems, 3 were shot down, and 5 crash landed on the airfield. Only 1 plane landed successfully. The surviving commandos then caused havoc and managed to destroy 9 planes and 70,000 gallons of fuel, and damaged 29 other planes until the defenders defeated them. A much larger raid against the Marianas was planned but the war ended.
They would be a Guerilla squad. Now personally in my idea they wouldn’t have a unique weapon and would be customizable; because we’ve pretty much scrapped the barrel with Japanese weapons and every SMG they made is already in game. Personally I would arm them with Type 100/44 SMGs as that is the weapon these commandos would’ve used.
They would have a very unique appearance as the Giretsu Kuteitai had specially made camouflage uniforms. They should have an entire wardrobe of unique uniforms like Paratroopers since they were the only Japanese unit to have camouflage
There was an old Premium Assaulter squad based on the Giretsu Kuteitai, but that doesn’t matter. We can get another and it’s more immersive since these could actually be Guerillas like their real life role
