Special Forces Operational Detatchment - D (SFOD-D) - more commonly known as Dorn Company or Dorn Force - is an elite Commando unit within the Alliance SpecForce organisation, configured for Special Operations. It was formed to operate in the gray area where the jurisdiction of SpecForce, SpecOps, and Alliance Intelligence overlaps.
Dorn Force's primary tasks are involved with insurgency, terrorism, and special reconnaissance, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many covert missions including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages and raids.

The Alliance Special Forces - SpecForce - was concieved to provide mobile units of Marines, Rangers and Commandos who were able to fulfill the ground forces requirements of the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, but without needing the scale of resources and personnel that would be required for a conventional Army such as the one employed by the Galactic Empire. SpecForce specialised in hit-and-run and guerilla tactics, taking advantage of terrain and strategy to increase their odds against the numerically superior but more traditionally equipped Imperials.
Units were broken down into seven Regiments; five operational Regiments, and two for support. The operational Regiments each specialised in a specific style: the 1st Regiment of Marines specialised in boarding operations, the Rangers of 4th Regiment focussed on combat in wilderness locations such as deserts, jungles, and snowfields, and the Guerillas of 3rd Regiment specialised in combat in urban locations; the 2nd Regiment Pathfinders and 5th Regiment Infiltrators meanwhile focussed on special reconnaissance and covert operations.
However, certain SpecForce missions required alternative styles of unit - units that could exploit small-unit tactics for example, or could access the skillsets of multiple Regiments within the same unit. Alliance Special Operations (SpecOps) could cover those eventualities with their Mission Groups, but those units fell outside the SpecForce chain of command, and were not always available to - or popular with - SpecForce Command. The creation of new units specifically for those missions - such as at the Battle of Endor, or the Liberation of Bothawui - was required, drawing personnel from various SpecForce units into a SpecOps style team.
Following a mission to Baraboo that involved a similarly makeshift team, Colonel Sogan Dalgas proposed to SpecForce Command that the personnel he had selected and deployed for that mission should be retained as a new specialist unit. After much deliberation, Command approved the formation of an independant company - designated as per tradition by an aurebesh symbol: Dorn - for a trial period only; during which it would function as a direct subset SpecForce Command.
The newly established Dorn Company was first deployed on a routine infiltration mission to Ruuria. The unit successfully retrieved communications codes for the new Imperial / Corporate Sector Task Force being assembled to counter Rebel raiding operations along the Hydian Way.
