[edit] Electy

[edit] MJ-12
Known as Majestic 12, it consisted of 12 high-ranking officials from various multinational corporations. Their mission was to secure Noah's Ark and unleash another Ice Age in order to wipe out the current world order in order to let everyone work for the common good.
[edit] Machiner's Platoon
Machiner's Platoon (米国機械化小隊 Mashinnaazu Puratoon?)
A division of MJ-12, its ranks consist of both augmented and regular soldiers. The group was responsible for raiding ARCAM's Turkish research facility in order to secure the remains of Noah's Ark. But in the OVA, the platoon was part of the US military and was also known as the US Machine Corp.
There are some suggestions that the platoon is a covert part of the US Military, which is the reason why the English translation by VIZ claimed that the platoon was working on MJ-12's behalf [1].

A small cult led by a man named Heunri Balez, he is protected by the Sand, Shadow and Water demons as his personal bodyguards.

[edit] US Armored Corps
US Armored Corps (米軍装甲歩兵?)
A division of the United States Army, its soldiers are outfitted with body armored suits and wear M17A1 respirators. Most of their equipment are outsourced from the US military, but most of their weapons used in covert missions include Heckler and Koch MP5SD5 submachine guns and HK 69 grenade launchers. Like the former COSMOS unit, the group was engaged in covert operations for the US army.
They were responsible for an attempted infiltration in ARCAM's Japanese headquarters in order to abduct Rie Yamabishi, which was foiled if Yu Ominae did not intervene.
