12th Imperial Special Operations Support Army (Airborne)

The 12th Imperial Special Operations Support Army (Airborne), colloquially known as the "12th Support", was one of the twelve Special Operations Armies of the Imperial Army Special Operations Command, Galactic Empire Special Operations Command.

Comprised of approximately a hundred thousand operators from the Imperial Army Special Operations Group, its members were not directly authorized for direct combat — instead, the members of the 12th Support provided combat support services, logistical support services, medical support services, and signals/communications support services to Army Special Forces teams in the field, allowing them to resupply and communicate on the move. In this fashion, the 12th Support was absolutely necessary to sustain the Imperial Army Special Operations Group's decentralized and multifarious operations across the galaxy.

Although it was headquartered at the 1st Galactic Empire Special Operations Command on, unlike the ten Combatant Special Operations Armies, who operated within their own respective spatial Areas of Responsibilities (AOR), the operators of the 12th Support were authorized to deploy as packages to any Imperial theater in the galaxy, where ever there were Army Special Forces teams on deployment.

The 12th Imperial Special Operations Support Army was after of the former, reflecting the 12th Support's creed to save the lives of all Army Special Forces members and to sustain their operations.
