FICTITIOUS IDENTITY
The International Special Operations Command
(I.S.O.C.) is a fictitious agency and was created
solely for entertainment purposes. The I.S.O.C. is not affiliated
in any way with any government or any governmental agency.
Neither the specific military
organizations indicated herein nor any other component
of the United States Government or the Department of
Defense has approved, endorsed, or authorized any
portion of this website.
While occasional reference to living persons or actual
organizations and places may be made, many of the
persons, organizations, locations and events depicted
within this website are the product of the author's imagination. With regard to
these fictitious elements, any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED
While Flash Force is organized for recreational purposes, special operations and counter-terrorist issues are mature topics. Some materials in this website, though kept at a professional level, may relate to the use of weapons or violence and military or counter-terrorist tactics.
As a result, some topics or material presented in this website may not be appropriate for younger or more sensitive viewers. Therefore, viewer discretion is advised.
