Red Cell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Teams or Red Cells are U.S. government parlance for teams or units designed to test the effectiveness of U.S. tactics or personnel. "Red Cell" was purported to be a U.S. Navy SEAL team which had been organized to attempt to infiltrate and otherwise test the security of U.S. military bases and other installations sensitive to U.S. security interests. The original Red Cell group was led by the former leader of SEAL Team Six Richard Marcinko, a.k.a. the "Rogue Warrior".
A fictionalized version of Red Cell can be seen in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, where the unit has been renamed "Dead Cell" and includes several soldiers with superhuman skills and abilities.
The Red Team is also a term for the opposing force in a wargame. In the game Act of War: High Treason, Red Cell is in an alliance with the consortium.
