Organization

OSTAD, being an elite unit, is not used often, while not out on the job, the team elements do stranded functional activities through out there day the same as any other member of House Odan-Urr. OSTAD Team elements are always on call, when elements are not doing there normal house duties they can be found training in the combat center or in the gym, all members are expected to remain in top physical and mental shape.

OSTAD is a small unit, currently made up of 1 Patrol, each member of a Patrol are refereed to as an Element, the Patrol is lead by a Sargent, the Sargent reports only to the house summit.

Training

OSTAD applicants undergo rigorous selection and training. Applicants must pass stringent physical agility, written, oral, and psychological testing to ensure they are not only fit enough but also psychologically suited for tactical operations.

Emphasis is placed on physical fitness, so the future element will be able to withstand the rigors of tactical operations. After an member has been selected, the potential element must undertake and pass numerous specialist courses that will make him or her a fully qualified OSTAD element. OSTAD elements are trained in saber and marksmanship for the development of accurate combat skills. Other training that could be given to potential elements includes training in explosives, sniper-training, defensive tactics, first-aid, negotiation and the use of specialized weapons and equipment. They may also be trained specifically in the handling and use of special ammunition such as flash bang grenades, tasers, and the use of crowd control methods, and special non-lethal munitions. Of primary importance is close-quarters defensive tactics training, as this will be the primary mission upon becoming a full-time OSTAD element.

Equipment

OSTAD use equipment designed for a variety of specialist situations including close quarters combat in an urban environment. The particular pieces of equipment vary from situation to situation, but there are some consistences, such as the Jedi's lightsaber.

Criticism

There has been some criticism about the paramilitary unit within the Jedi for the fact that many of the OSTAD elements are Redeemed and Gray Jedi who's, some say, morals are are not clear. There has also been criticism from the settler community of what is preconceived as the militarization of house Odan-Urr after the events of the Harakoan attack on Menat Ombo and the innate fear of some settler groups towards the Jedi do nothing but exacerbate this criticism.
