Umbrella Security Service
From Resident Evil Wiki
The U.S.S. (Umbrella Special Service) also known as the U.S.F.U (Umbrella Special Forces Unit) was an Umbrella special forces unit. They played a similar role as the UBCS. However, the U.S.S. were specially taught mercenaries with experience in infiltration while UBCS were just criminals released to fight for Umbrella. In Resident Evil 2, Alpha Team attempted to steal a sample of the G-Virus, causing the city-wide outbreak in the game. Delta Team appeared in the prequel Resident Evil Zero. Delta Team was sent in to blow up the Ecliptic Express after the trouble occurred, but was overwhelmed by the leeches and wiped out.They were under the direct command of Wesker and Birkin. The U.S.S report directly to the highest ranking officers in Umbrella. Unlike the UBCS, which performs more visible missions such as rescuing civilians, this unit maintains total secrecy and a small size. The U.S.S are trained at Rockfort Island.

[edit] Clothes
USFU agents are always depicted in solid-color gray fatigues, wearing protective vests and gas masks (except in Resident Evil: Apocalypse, where they are depicted in solid black fatigues, vests, and a type of enclosed helmet).
[edit] Weapons
The standard weapon used by the U.S.S in Resident Evil 2 is the Heckler & Koch MP5 Sub-Machine Gun. Although they have been known to use other weapons such as pistols, with HUNK having his own special handgun, which he nicknames Matilda.
In the latest trailer for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, the U.S.S. standard MP5 is replaced with the Steyr TMP.
Also, judging by the inscription on the barrel of the Custom Magnum Parts found in Resident Evil 2, the U.S.S.'s armory also contained some heavy, albeit impractical firepower; a 10-inch version of the IMI Desert Eagle semi-automatic magnum handgun chambered in .50 Action Express-- when or where it could have seen operative use is unknown.
[edit] Known Operatives
