Each team leader answered to the squad leaders, who in turn answered to the commander. The Survey Corps was divided into 10 teams, each led by a team leader. Under the 13th commander, Erwin Smith, there were four squad leaders, one senior team leader, 8 team leaders, 6 medics, 5 equine veterinarians, and 5 payroll staff soldiers (also team leaders), and 270 soldiers.
With the introduction to Power of the Titans, namely the Attack Titan by Eren Yeager and later the taken Colossus Titan by Armin Arlert, the Survey Coprs also exerted command over them and used them as cornerstone for various operations. These horses are noted to be exceptionally valuable and bred for great speed, stamina, and calm temperament. In addition to human soldiers, their stables also included a total of 600 specially-bred horses, including reserves. While 300 is a common headcount for membership in the Survey Corps, there had been several occasions where expeditions took place with around only 100 soldiers. This already-limited number of volunteers was made less and less by commonplace deaths and an infamy surrounding the body count that frightens most away from joining. The Survey Corps was the smallest branch of the Military in terms of membership, originally with an overall size of around 300 soldiers. The Survey Corps leave Trost District for an expedition Īfter learning the truth about their world, the Survey Corps then served as infiltrators and special forces in the fight against Marley and other countries that viewed them as threats. On numerous occasions, soldiers had been made to risk and lay down their lives in order to defend or recover him.
This would grant the Survey Corps vital information when dealing with enemies that also have this power.Īfter his admission into the Survey Corps, protecting Eren became an objective of paramount importance. Upon learning that Eren Yeager had the power to transform into a Titan, research was conducted to uncover the extent of his Titan abilities. Given the safer nature of exploring within Wall territory (since Titans could only enter the Wall at one point), a wealth of information was revealed, such as their pain tolerance, sunlight dependence, and intelligence. Ī more recent (yet unofficial) duty was Titan observation and research. This ultimate goal was finally reached two months after the crowning of Historia Reiss, though at the price of nearly all soldiers of the Survey Corps. Prior to the breach of Wall Maria by the Colossus Titan, they explored the land outside of the Wall, though they could never get far due to the heavy casualties suffered from Titan attacks.Īfter the fall of Wall Maria, they began laying down supplies from Wall Rose's Trost District to Wall Maria's Shiganshina District in preparation to seal the breach and reclaim Wall Maria. This branch of the military had by far the highest death rate.
This Military division was in charge of the exploration and the eventual reclamation of human territory from Titan-infested lands through the act of setting up small bases, camps, resupply stations, and extra fortifications in available areas outside the Walls.
