The Survey Corps is derided because of their high casualty rate and minimal success. All soldiers use a grappling and tethering system called Vertical Maneuvering Equipment that allows them to jump onto, and swing from, any tall structures, using gas canisters to propel themselves forward. The Corps is the only place where a soldier can make a fatal strike on the nape of the neck of a titan, which is the one place where they can save a soldier from a fatal injury. Over the past 100 years the Survey Corps has compiled characteristics of the Pure Titans to aid them in battle. A box containing spare blades for their dual swords hangs beside each thigh, and the blades themselves are flexible and easily detachable, used solely for cutting down titans. When Shiganshina and Wall Maria are breached by the Colossal Colossal Titans, Eren enlists in the military along with Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert. After a titan devours his mother and disappears, his father disappears along with five other humans. The Titans force humanity to retreat behind three circular walls protecting humanity from the man- eating Titans. When the outer walls of Wall Rose Rose are breached, the Titans force the humans to retreat and force them to retreat. The outer walls are breached and the Titans invade Wall Rose and Wall Rose. The Eldians formed a three-branch military to protect its citizens: the Military Police Brigade, the Garrison Regiment and the Survey Regiment.
