Diamond Dogs

Diamond Dogs was a private military led by Venom Snake, Kazuhuria Miller, and Revolver Ocelot from 1984 to 1995. It is the business the player must manage throughout Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

It is the successor of Militaires Sans Frontières and the predecessor of Outer Heaven.

History
After Militaires Sans Frontières' destruction in 1975 at the hands of XOF, the Diamond Dogs was formed in 1984 by Kazuhuria Miller and Revolver Ocelot, funded by Zero. It was made to serve as MSF's successor, taking heavy inspiration from it. It too was a business-like PMC that was neutral and carried out international military operations for profit, possessed staff made up of enemy defectors and volunteers, and was located on an abandoned oil-rig called "Mother Base". In 1984, it was taken control of by Venom Snake, along with the two original founders, and was expanded into a world-wide-known military business that virtually everyone feared or respected. In 1995, it was absorbed into Outer Heaven.
