Once mysterious cases happened, they would come together at the Operation Room first, with all seven members using their own specialties to solve it. Unlike most defense teams, GUTS was not a military unit as TPC was created after world peace was established, they were originally a rescue/investigation squad, but after it became apparent that more monsters were appearing, GUTS and their Mecha were changed to combat these threats as GUTS is only one of the TPC branches. The team was abolished 9 years after of the threat of Gatanozoa.
