— Raven Sword slogan

Raven Sword is one of the 5 PMCs (Private Military Company) who operates under the dummy mother company, Outer Heaven, which is run by Liquid Ocelot. The Raven Sword PMC is based in the United States of America. They utilize the System, otherwise known as SOP (Sons of the Patriots), which uses nanomachines to enhance and regulate their senses. The name is based from FOXHOUND mercenary Vulcan Raven. Currently, Raven Sword has been deployed in Eastern Europe and are making efforts to root out the local resistance led by Big Mama, the Paradise Lost Army. They have many checkpoints and roadblocks set up as well as a curfew in effect thus making it much more difficult for the Paradise Lost Army to meet up.

[edit] Equipment

Raven Sword troops wear very heavy armor. They wear black, dark green, and gray pants, tactical jackets, and heavy tactical armor around their chest, legs, and hips. They can be seen wearing helmets, shin guards, night vision goggles, balaclava's, headsets, and tactical goggles. Their primary weapon is the standard issue Mk.17 assault rifle and their basic sidearm is the GSR pistol. They also use submachine guns on occasions, the MP7 in particular. Vehicles used include the Humvee armed with a .50 calibre heavy machine gun, and an attack chopper (also used by Praying Mantis). Raven Sword troops also utilize Gekkos (IRVING).
