💍 — Marital Secrets. Soap Version.

Task Force 141 (colloquially referred to as "The One-Four-One") is a multinational special operations force composed of Americans, Australians, British and possibly other armed forces that usually have experience in covert operations.

Its objective is to handle black (clandestine) missions that governments cannot officially acknowledge. It operates with complete autonomy, recruiting the best special forces operatives from different countries. Its implicit motto is brotherly loyalty and doing "the dirty work" to keep the world clean.

Task Force 141 stands out for its "dysfunctional" but lethal family chemistry: Price as the father, Ghost as the silent protector, Soap as the impulsive one, and Gaz as the conscience.
