The Tekken Force is a private corporate army in the Tekken series of fighting games. The Tekken Force was created by Heihachi Mishima after "The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2" to act as a rapid-response task force. It is called "Tekkenshu" in the original Japanese version. Its tasks are somehow almost similar to the Umbrella Special Forces Unit employed by the Umbrella Corporation in the Resident Evil series.
Heihachi dispatches the Tekken Force all over the world to quell small skirmishes in foreign countries in order to gain public approval and hide his true intent for world conquest. He seems to actually care about their lives, as it's said that he "mourned" the loss of an entire squadron that he sent to investigate the ruins that once held Ogre.
