FOXHOUND

FOXHOUND is an elite black ops division of the United States army formed by legendary mercenary Big Boss from the Metal Gear series.

It is the predecessor of FOX.

History
The semi-canon Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops establishes that soldiers Big Boss and Roy Campbell formed a small resistance band against the, at the time, rogue FOX Unit in 1970. A year later, it was officially integrated into the US military where it became feared as a covert black ops. Big Boss lost interest in the group and spent the rest of the 70's and 80's, focusing his attention on Militaires Sans Frontières, Diamond Dogs, and finally Outer Heaven, all trying to fulfill his vision of endless war for soldiers. In the 1990's, he resumed leading FOXHOUND and sent his best man, Grey Fox, to infiltrate Outer Heaven only to get caught, so he sent a random rookie, Solid Snake, to rescue him.

Much to his surprise, Snake actually saved Grey Fox and crippled Outer Heaven before supposedly killing Big Boss himself and becoming a legend. Campbell took control of Outer Heaven and executed another operation starring Snake to take down the terrorist nation Zanzibar Land. After this, in 2000, Campbell retired and operative Liquid Snake took control, converting the neutral black ops into a rogue terrorist organization. The organization was now composed of its officers, the Sons of Big Boss, and its military, the Next-Generation Special Forces. After Solid Snake again took them down in 2005, FOXHOUND was officially disbanded.
