Basic Detail
RED FORGE is a special weapons R&D department that had been established late in the OSS days and established as a special warfare detachment that would be responsible for heavy-duty warfare equipment and special weapons development.

When the OSS was dissolved, many of the personnel in the Red forge were left without a proper chain of command and were without hierarchy above lead engineer, which was in itself six levels beneath proper departmental management.

After an entire year without upper-level advisory, the Red Forge had become aberrant in their design integrity, designing weapons and tools that would work impressively, but were often considered too dangerous or impractical for use outside of having destructive properties.

After the cleanup of the OSS detachments had gotten underway, the Red Forge was the first OSS detachment to be picked up by Eisenhower for integration into what would soon become known as the USCCDS.

The original staff of the Red Forge that remained were promoted after the OSS's dissolution and their new, non-restricted creation ideas were the basis for what the future R&D would have their weaponry based upon.
