Introduction:
Team: Yankee is a US Department of Defense special anti-terrorist team. The US government did not officially acknowledge the existence of the team until an Office of Paranormal Oversight press conference in April, 2002.
Paranormal Community:
Until the OPO press conference, Team: Yankee existed as a "can neither confirm nor deny the existence of" special paranormal anti-terrorist team under the auspices of the US Department of Defense. Unofficial reports indicated that the team was established in 1985. Team: Yankee was linked to several major raids on various paranormal terrorist groups and was first officially publicized when a Greek government press conference acknowledged Team: Yankee's participation in the Raid on Genesse Island.
In the wake of the announcement by the Greek government, a US Department of Defense press release announced that Team: Yankee was an ad-hoc team of paranormals that had been training with Delta Force in exercises to give the unit experience in combating paranormal terrorists. The paranormals agreed to help with the Genesse Island incident at the request of the US government.
Unidentified sources commented for various new services reporting on the incident that the Department of Defense press release was just a cover-up in an attempt to explain away Team: Yankee's existence after the Greek government announcement.
The Greek government issued no further statements or clarifications regarding Team: Yankee. Comments from US government sources on the subject mirrored the Department of Defense's press release.
Team: Yankee, with a membership of Jack Frost, Arbitrator, Handyman, Alex Smith, Alexis Smith, Wolfhound, was introduced to the public in 2002 as the OPO's Field Operations unit. After the public unveiling of the group, Team: Yankee returned to its covert duties and faded from public view except for an occasional mention in an OPO press release detailing the war on paranormal terrorism and the pursuit of the Black Arion Movement.
Paranormal Community - Secrets:
The team's membership roster was greatly increased in the aftermath of the Black Arion Arises incident when a group of captured criminal paranormals were assigned to the team. The service of these paranormals was gained by the promise of a grant of amnesty after they have served ten years with Team: Yankee.
Paranormal Community - Secrets Beyond Secrets:
The "official" secret story of Team: Yankee's new members is a complete fabrication.
The new members are actually captured Grand Imperium paranormals which genetic testing had found to be clones. When they were turned over to the FSS, it was discovered that the clones were aging at a rapid rate. Dr. Adam Armstead was able to develop a serum that slowed the clones' aging to near normal rates. The clones had the mentality of a young child with very little sense of self or personal motivations. They were locked away at one the NIH's Paranormal Studies Program facilities. In the aftermath of the Black Arion Arises incident the services of the clones was offered to Team: Yankee. After undergoing extensive mental conditioning and training, the clones were assigned to Team: Yankee.
