Officially designated the Joint Services Special Demands Project, "The Team" is a unique unit created to address unconventional threats in an unconventional manner, beyond the bureaucratic restraints of either the U.S. intelligence or military establishments. With an almost unlimited budget, the Team - consisting of a CIA officer, two Special Forces commandos, and one outnumbered Marine - is authorized to acquire vital intelligence and take immediate action, with the field officer calling the shots.
