An archival home for Combat Hardened Individuals, a Delta Force 2 squad that ran from 2001 to 2003, with rosters, ranks, maps, screenshots, allied squads, and a guestbook.

Why it surfaced

This is a substantial reconstruction from the Internet Archive, not a nostalgia-themed landing page: its 35 links lead through the squad's creed, companies, ribbons, server history, and member records. The guestbook is still receiving messages from former players and allies, turning an old gaming roster into a small, unexpectedly active record of an online community.
