The Hound Wolf Squad (HWS) is an elite BSAA task force. Originally operating as their own separate unit in the BSAA, in 2018 founding BSAA member and SOU Captain Chris Redfield, who grew distrustful of the organization after they chose to cover up the Baker House Incident in order to save face for their failure to eliminate Eveline in Munich before she could board the Annabelle, commandeered the unit without the BSAA HQ approval and spent the next three years hunting down Miranda, effectively making the unit rogue. In February 2021, they undertook a mission to kill Mother Miranda and her cult as well as evacuate Ethan, Mia and Rosemary Winters.

The members consist of Chris Redfield who is the Team leader and has the codename Alpha, Rolando Elba who is the team's sniper and has the codename Umber Eyes, Dion Wilson who is the team's communications expert and has the codename Night Howl, Charlie Graham who is the team's dog handler and has the codename Canine, John Perlman who is the team's doctor and has the codename Lobo, and Emily Berkhoff who is the team's recon specialist and has the codename Tundra.

All of the squad's members, save for Chris, wear various types of shirts, pants and shoes, together with black coats, tan or camouflaged tactical vests, holsters, kneepads and tan Ops Core FAST XP High Cut helmets or (in Tundra's case) a black Ops Core Skull Mounting System. Each member has a set of L3 GPNVG-18 quad-tube panoramic night-vision goggles mounted onto their headwear, together with Ops Core RAC communications headsets and video cameras.

Although not being directly related to the Village incident, the Umbrella Corporation supplied HWS with equipment such as the Med Injectors, USM-AIs, Dragoons, Thor's Hammer - AW Model-02s, WCXs, MA51 GQ Customs, GL7s, SA110 Sniper Rifles, PT Machine Guns, Karambit Knives, Hand Grenades, Flash Grenades, Target Locators, and N2 Explosives. For transportation, the squad primarily used -out Toyota Hilux pickup trucks with offroad modifications. Additionally, they utilized a black Dodge Tradesman van to transport Ethan and Rosemary away from their safehouse following their assassination attempt on Miranda (then disguised as Mia). In order to escape the village before it was destroyed by the detonation of the N2 Explosive, the squad made use of a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
