KOP - Knights of the Phoenix

The KOP, or Knights of Phoenix is the "most elite infantry unit on the face of the Earth" or so they claim. Skilled in every aspect of man-to-man fighting, experts in everything from mortars and rocket launchers, to knives and ju-jit-su, these hardcore veteran troops are considered the heart of the Phoenix Milita Armed Forces, and are the first and last defenders of The Phoenix Milita. The are often referred to as KOPs, which intentionally sounds like the slang term for police officer, "cops". KOPs have all of the authority of civilian police, regular military police, and the secret service and more. KOP refers to the individual soldiers who serve in the unit as well as the unit itself.

The KOP Battle Dress uniform is unique in its camo patterns which go for confusion over concealment, with obvious attempts to make identification on the battlefield easier, although drab gray and black uniforms exist for operations where concealment is needed.
