OVERVIEW
STARGATE OPERATIONS, the Home Base of SGC & SG-SOCOM is a fan group dedicated to all forms of SG Fandom. Our costumes articulate both standard SG related costumes, as well as, a Stargate Special Operations Command theme as representing an elite science-fiction unit with diversified roles and missions. In the world of SG/Atlantis/Universe costuming our group stands out, as we do not follow the conventional... making our very own identity. New members have several Teams & Squadrons within the SG Operations to choose from, and new units are being developed as we grow internationally. There is room here for alien and civilian support costumers, and even NID too! We participate in various forms, besides costuming, to celebrate our interests in Stargate fandom. We offer a unique SG-Operations online role playing game, team events/local gatherings, attending conventions, airsoft and paintball events, prop workshops, cookouts/camping events and so much more. Our SG-Operations - Forums helps keep our members in touch with each other and informed with the latest news in SG Fandom. SG OPERATIONS is an active and fun-loving group to be involved in.
 
HISTORY OF SG OPERATIONS

The Stargate and any related programs remained dormant until 1997, when it was confirmed that the Stargate was capable of connecting with multiple destinations. Realizing the Goa'uld threat, Stargate Command (SGC) was formed with a contingent of SG teams. Their standing orders, along with the SGC, were to acquire weapons or technology that could help Earth in the fight against the Goa'uld, including establishing alliances. From that point forward, the SGC began exploring hundreds of worlds, and after encountering a few advanced races, researching and developing many alien/human-hybrid devices, such as fighter-jets capable of spaceflight, and Earth-designed battlecruisers.

Stargate Command was originally overseen directly by the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (as stated in Children of the Gods), but after Anubis's attack on Earth (in Lost City), Henry Hayes established the top-secret "Department of Homeworld Security". Its first leader was General Hammond, but he eventually moved on to another position and was (presumably) replaced by Jack O'Neill. The Department of Homeworld Security controls the Stargate Program as well as the F-302/BC-304 program.

While the SGC and its SG teams were tasked with exploring new worlds to acquire technology and establish alliances, the concept of a Special Forces component to augment these teams was born in the fall of 2001. With the US Military shifting its focus to combat the global war on terrorism, the SGC and and its supportive commands redoubled their efforts to protect the HomeWorld. With the ever pending threat of possible hostile invasion, exploring new worlds and obtaining new technologies for research and development was not the main mission for the fledgling SG Special Forces. By the summer of 2005, the highly trained Special Forces teams were expanded into a more comprehensive, flexible and responsive Special Operations Command and renamed, SG-SOCOM.

Thus, the mission of both the SGC & SG-SOCOM, is to support the Department of Homeworld Security in the defense of Earth. Employing a combination of SG Teams, F-302 Squadrons, Daedalus Class Spaceships and several Joint Forces Special Operation Commands. While the SGC reports directly to DHS, SG-SOCOM is under the command of USSOCOM, but tasked with supporting the functions of the SGC's Special Operations requirements. The SG-SOC has broken down its combatant units into two distinct groups;  Off-World Ops and Space & Air Ops. Once deployed its units will coordinate with the local SGC commander to accomplish the overall mission objectives and goals. Occasionally however, the SG-SOCOM will still explore new worlds and try to return with new technologies for research and future development for the defense of earth, when not acting in a support role for an ongoing SGC mission.

Since its inception, the SG Operations components have worked vigilantly to fulfill their mission's mandate. Accordingly, these teams and squadrons have served in numerous off-world operations, both fulfilling their own mission objectives, as well as supporting the SG teams, the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Omega sites, as well as, most recently the Atlantis Project.
