1. Asset Profile Summary

Operational Overview

Col. Irving J. Pliskin (Ret.) serves as the Primary Kinetic Authority for the Bureau. Service record verifies deployment to conflict zones spanning the Indochina theatre (1960s) to post-9/11 asymmetrical operations. Subject demonstrates maximum verifiable proficiency across all kinetic warfare domains.

In contrast to the "Administrative Doctrine" of Director Wyvre-Castle, Pliskin adheres to a doctrine of Direct Intervention. He possesses "Full-Spectrum Warfare Literacy"—a granular technical mastery of systems ranging from small arms ballistics to strategic artillery coordination. Subject continues to validate Bureau doctrine through direct-action deployment.

Strategic Value Assessment

Force Generation: Restructured failing tactical elements into the 13th SFG(A) following the "Granite" command collapse (1971).
Operational Continuity: Maintained "Black" operational status post-retirement (1990s–2000s) utilizing "Consultant" cover.
Materiel Development: Principal Technical Director for ARMSWARE and the SOC (Special Operations Carbine) program.
Cultural Standard: Established the "Quiet Professional" baseline metrics for Unit operator assessment.

3. Service Chronology Abstract

Operational Log

1960-1974

Indochina Theatre (Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia): Executed deep-penetration unconventional warfare. Integrated British Commando tactics into US doctrine (Ref: Connolly). Assumed command of "Unit-Redacted" following the collapse of the Granite command structure (1971).

1975-1990

Cold War / Unit Genesis: Partnered with L. Wyvre-Castle to establish the 13th SFG(A) infrastructure. Directed deniable interventions in Central America and the Middle East. Initiated the SOC weapon platform development (1988).

1992

Administrative Separation (Retirement): Processed for medical retirement due to "accumulated systemic trauma." Transferred Directorate authority to Wyvre-Castle.
STATUS: Transitioned to "Consultant" (Cover for continued field application).

1993-Present

Post-Retirement Activity: Intelligence confirms Subject continues to deploy on XC-Level threat containment. Documented direct-action support in [REDACTED] sectors during Global War on Terror.

4. Full-Spectrum Proficiency Assessment

Capability Profile

Subject possesses the complete skill set of Director Castle, elevated to Master-Level Proficiency. While Castle provides the logistical framework for these domains, Pliskin provides the kinetic execution.

5. Materiel Development (SOC Program)

Special Operations Carbine (SOC)

Program initiated due to Subject's operational rejection of the M16/M4 lineage. Engineering specifications for the receiver were personally derived by Subject to bridge the capability gap between assault rifle agility and DMR lethality.

Lineage

M63 Exp. → AR Platform Hybrid

Doctrine

"One Rifle, All Ranges"

Status

Standard Issue (13th SFG)

6. Defense Industrial Base (DIB)

Non-Standard Acquisition & Prototyping

Subject co-founded the ARMSWARE corporation with Director Wyvre-Castle. While Castle manages the corporate shell, Pliskin serves as the Principal Technical Director and primary field validator.

Entity

ARMSWARE

Role

Technical Director

Function

RAPID PROTOTYPING

Circumvents federal acquisition cycles to field-test SOC modifications.

Operational Use

COVER IDENTITY

"Consultant" status facilitates access to active warzones for "validation."

7. Institutional Continuity

Command Architecture (Historical)

Analysis indicates a complementary command topology. Pliskin is designated for force generation; Castle retains administrative control. Pliskin drives operational outcomes, while Castle maintains the regulatory framework required for mission authorization. Absent Pliskin’s bias for action, the unit faces a projected risk of operational stagnation.

Advisory Authority

Subject retains senior oversight privileges post-separation. Subject exercises final concurrence authority on modernization initiatives, specifically mitigating risks associated with NEXUM integration absent established kinetic redundancies.

8. Psycho-Metric Deviations (EYES ONLY)

Phenomenon: Successor Resemblance

Current Director Wyvre-Castle is perceived as increasingly similar to Pliskin in appearance. This "Phenotypic Resonance" suggests that the ABSOC Directorship may exact a biological toll, molding the holder into Pliskin's image.

Reported Effects

Assumption Drift: Personnel attribute Pliskin's combat history to Castle without formal basis.
Visual Overlay: Staff recall "how things were" under Pliskin and map it onto present interactions with Castle.

Analyst Handling Note

Pliskin is the "Template." Castle is the "Iteration."

9. Risk & Value Assessment

Internal Security Evaluation

Col. Pliskin is assessed as a Human Weapon System (HWS). Medical retirement was a political necessity, not a functional one. He remains the most capable asset in the ABSOC registry, possessing a depth of warfare knowledge that cannot be taught, only survived.

Handling Advisory

Do not mistake advisory status for obsolescence. Pliskin retains significant loyalty within the rank-and-file. Any attempt to dismantle the SOC program or the 13th SFG identity will be met with internal resistance.
