History

The Survey Corps, also known as the Boy Scouts, are considered the "driving force" of humanity in the Attack on Titan universe. Their story is woven into the fabric of human existence within its walls. The Survey Corps was originally created as an organization to go beyond the borders, with a mission to expand human territory by researching the Titans and finding possible ways to defeat them. Their daring missions often resulted in casualties as they battled the uncertainty and terror that the Titans represented.
Throughout human history, between borders, the Survey Corps has always represented hope. But these hopes were often clouded by skepticism and fear of high mortality. People saw them as a symbol of futile struggle, despite their brave heart and steadfast spirit in the face of great adversity.
However, under the command of 11th Commandant Erwin Smith, the Survey Corps began conducting strategic operations with more careful planning. Their expeditions began to reveal more information about the Titans, bringing humanity one step closer to uncovering the secrets that could end their fear. Erwin Smith's leadership helped transform the Survey Corps into an organization capable of posing a real threat to Titan's rule. Playing an integral role in titan research and tactical development, the Survey Corps contributed to developments such as Titan Eren Yeager and titan movement abilities. This fundamental shift to better understand the Titans and use their abilities against them ushered in a new era in Survey Corps history.
The 20th Expedition marked a major turning point in the history of the Survey Corps as it revealed the truth about the Titans and their existence. This brought about irreversible changes in their activities and actually led them to reclaim human territory.
At the forefront of the resistance against the Titans, the Survey Corps' every triumph and loss reflected the fate of the people within its walls. Their unwavering determination and resilience echo throughout the annals of history, making them an irreplaceable beacon of hope for humanity.

Geography

The Survey Corps, one of the central military units in Attack on Titan, operates within the borders to protect the remnants of humanity from the Titans. This faction is tasked with carrying out dangerous expeditions beyond the three concentric walls - Maria, Rože and Sina - protecting the human civilization. The area beyond Wall Maria is largely uncharted and dangerous with vast forests and open terrain often used as a meeting place for the Titans. In terms of geography, their expeditions emphasize a variety of terrain, including dense and tall forests such as the Forest of Giant Trees, which are strategic places to fight Titans and carry out missions. In addition to the intrigue, there is also the ocean, the existence of which man knows, but remains unexplored until then in the series. Despite the ominous threats lurking beyond its borders, breathtaking and picturesque landscapes filled with lush greenery, towering mountains, open fields, and the vast ocean all contribute to the freedom that Survey Corps members crave. Regardless of the risks, the brave men and women of the Survey Corps remain driven by knowledge, freedom and hope for a better future.
