[[quoteright:135:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scouting_legion_261_6278.png]]
Branch of the military in charge of exploring and reclaiming territory lost to the Titans. They are noted to have an exceptionally high mortality rate, with only a 50% chance of surviving their first mission. However, those that become veterans are considered the most skilled soldiers humanity has at its disposal.
----
* BadassArmy: If a recruit manages to survive several missions, it's not luck. They're officially {{Badass}}.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: The elite squad members all have at least one quirk but each has more than ten Titans kills and are ''the'' best humanity has to offer.
* DoingResearch: Their job is to learn more about the Titans and to scout out territory beyond the walls.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: It's mostly unstated but one of the reasons they aren't too fond of the other branches (Police Brigade especially) is that they get less respect despite doing most of the fighting.
* DualWielding:
* MauveShirt: Titans seem to find the Survey Corps members that were recently introduced/characterized especially tasty.
* RedshirtArmy: They say their job is not to win, but die bravely.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Justified, since most recruits enlist in the other two Branches. Only the most brave, determined, or ''insane'' sign up to become RedShirts.
* RuleOfSymbolism: The wings on their crest represent the wings of freedom; fitting, since they spend the most time outside the walls scouting the world for humanity.
* SenselessSacrifice: Several of their missions end this way, although considering the state of humanity investing human resources in suicide missions in hopes of learning something is better than being holed up and eventually delaying the inevitable.
* TheUnfavorite: The Branch held in the lowest regard, with people alternately calling them a waste of resources and a bunch of lunatics and weirdos.

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler: Breaks his leg shielding Mikasa from the Female Titan's fist. He's able to use it as a springboard, allowing him rescue Eren.]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: To say he tore the Female Titan several dozen new assholes would be a '''major''' understatement.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: To an absolutely amazing, and occasionally crude, degree.
* {{Delinquent}}: He was one before.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time we see him fighting, he's annoyed at having to wipe Titan blood off his hands - being a neat freak and all - and then immediately afterwards, he doesn't hesitate to grasp the bloody hand of a dying subordinate in order to comfort him. AFatherToHisMen indeed.
* EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning: Just watch episode 09.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Many people are surprised to see how wiry he is. Considering that the man swings in midair with surgical precision, being heavier and bulkier probably wouldn't help with that.
* FaceOfAThug: There's something slightly "off" about his face. Possibly justified if the rumors about him being a BoxedCrook are true.
* GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler: His broken leg, which leaves him sidelined and unable to do more than guard Pastor Nick during the crisis with the Wall Rose Titans and later, Eren being kidnapped by Reiner and Bertolt. He expresses his frustration at being useless.]]
* GenderNeutralWriting: In Japanese, he is prone to using Japanese gender neutral pronouns for pretty much everyone. As an impersonal and rude Japanese speaking style, he uses the pronouns as a form of insulting people and to highlight himself as being a {{Jerkass}}. Among those he uses this are his superiors such as Erwin Smith, and his subordinates such as Hange Zoë.
* HiddenDepths: His first two encounters with Eren have him either insulting him or beating him up. And then we find out that [[spoiler:it was to ''protect'' Eren by ensuring that he wound up with the Survey Corps and not with the Military Police Brigade, who planned on killing and dissecting him.]] Eren himself realizes and acknowledges this, and holds no ill will towards Levi. He's still gets startled when Levi simply sits down next to him at one point, though. And this is a kid who can [[spoiler:turn into a freaking titan, for crying out loud!]]
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Taking heavy losses is nothing new for the Survey Corps and Levi takes it in stride. Then his own elite squad sent after the Female Titan is annihilated [[NotSoStoic and he's noticeably distraught about it.]]]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Goes with BrutalHonesty: even when he's being an asshat about it he usually ''is'' right. During Eren's trial he belittles the merchants for being greedy pigs, rude, yes, but it's true that they care more about their own safety than land to feed the starving refugees.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is rude, mean and in general unpleasant to be around. But he cares for his men.
* KickTheDog: Beats on Eren pretty hard during his tribunal as part of Erwin's plan to get him into the Survey Corps. He still takes it farther than necessary and belittles him as a dog who needs to be trained.
** KickThemWhileTheyreDown: Has no problems with beating on a chained-up boy, even pausing to note how easy it is to kick someone on their knees before resuming.
* LightningBruiser: Every soldier is a FragileSpeedster, that's a given. He deserves mention as one of these, though, due to not only being scarily fast at manuvering and killing Titans, he's tough enough to [[spoiler: take a hit from a human Titan, survive, and ''still win''.]]
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Quite short and wiry for the WorldsStrongestMan. Justified in that everyone that graduated from training has the strength to pierce a Titan's nape (the difficult part is ''getting'' there alive)- his skill and advantageous size for maneuvering is what makes him so dangerous.
* NeatFreak: Hates getting blood on him despite spilling plenty of it.
* NobodyPoops: Subverted, when he suggests their commanding officer is taking so long because maybe he's [[ToiletHumour having trouble taking a dump]].
* NumberTwo: Erwin's.
* OneManArmy: Others claim he's as effective by himself as an entire ''brigade'' of regular soldiers.
** [[spoiler: This is seen in action when he takes on the Female Titan alone, and inflicts serious damage, while entire squads of highly skilled soldiers died fighting her and failed to even injure her.]]
* OnlyOneName
* PerpetualFrowner: He does not smile.
* ReformedCriminal: He's rumored to have been an infamous criminal, until Erwin recruited him into the military.
* ShoutOut: Isayama has stated that his name comes from a boy in the documentary JesusCamp, while his physical model is Rorschach from ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}.
* ShroudedInMyth
* SmugSuper: Can be somewhat arrogant about being humanity's best warrior.
* SpinAttack: A staple of his fighting style.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: After the death of his teammates. Eren even says: "Corporal... Today... You are kind of talkative".]]
* SuperOCD: Supposedly a neat freak. His first order when they reach the old Survey Corps HQ is that everybody spend the day scrubbing it clean.
* WorldsStrongestMan: He makes ''[[TheAce Mikasa]]'' look like a plebian RedShirt.

!!Erwin Smith
!!!Voiced by: DaisukeOno (JP)
The Commander of the Survey Corps. He is noted for his brilliant and resourceful mind, having created new tactics that greatly reduced losses during operations. However, he has the capacity to be exceptionally ruthless in pursuit of the goal to protect humanity. [[spoiler: He uses the recruitment ceremony and subsequent expedition outside the Walls to lure the Titan Shifters infiltrating the military into making a move, and aggressively hunts for them within the Survey Corps.]]
* AFatherToHisMen: Though he will sacrifice his soldiers if he deems it necessary, he deeply cares about them nonetheless. Well illustrated when he openly tells the recruits who choose to join the Survey Corps in spite of how scared they are to face the Titans again just how much he respects them.
--> '''Erwin''': The 104th Survey Corps salutes all 21 of you. You endured your fear well... you are all brave soldiers. I respect you for that from the bottom of my heart.
* BrutalHonesty: During his speech to the members who want to join the Survey Corps, he flat out tells them that the probability of new recruits dying is about 50 % and that most of them will likely die soon.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:He used Eren as part of a plan to lure out and capture the enemy, and when ''that'' failed he was still able to use it to later capture Annie]].
* CommandingCoolness: Commander of the Survey Corps.
* FeedTheMole: [[spoiler: Suspecting spies within the ranks, he has different groups given different information on where in the formation Eren is stationed. It eventually leads Armin to accurately suspect Reiner of helping Annie during her attack.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: His justification for seemingly sending soldiers to their death, as he deems their sacrifices necessary to ensure humanity's survival.
* JapanesePronouns: "Ware", for extra CommandingCoolness.
* TheLeader: Of the Survey Corps.
* TheMentor: Armin is learning quite a bit from him, and admires him greatly.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: See IDidWhatIHadToDo.
* NervesOfSteel
* PragmaticHero
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is aware of how much of a potential advantage a [[spoiler:Titan Shifter like Eren]] brings humanity and how much of a waste it would be to execute him for it. Furthermore, he immediately realizes the danger of a [[spoiler:potential spy when Zoë's research subjects get killed and stages an expedition to lure them out. Finally, he trusts Armin's evidence that Annie is the spy and arranges her capture with some members of the Military Police Brigade.]]
* TheStrategist: Amongst other accomplishments, he invented a special scouting formation designed to allow large groups to minimise Titan encounters when travelling long distances. It immediately decreased the casualties of the Survey Corps by 30%.

!!Hange Zoë
!!!Voiced by: RomiPark (JP)
A Squad Leader deeply involved in research on Titans, and regarded as something of an [[{{Understatement}} eccentric]] as a result. [[spoiler: She is badly burned during the battle with the Colossal Titan, and forced to remain behind.]]
* AmbiguousGender: Due to looking manly for one questioner in an interview, Isayama was asked what Hange's gender was despite said questioner thinking also that Hange was a woman. Isayama responded by stating that since he'd been asked, he wasn't [[TrollingCreator going to answer]]. However, Kodansha has officially stated the [[https://twitter.com/KodanshaUSA/status/341679659223756800 character is female]].
** GenderNeutralWriting: Confusion has been fueled by Isayama's tendency to use gender-neutral pronouns in his writing.
* BadassBookworm: A highly-skilled soldier, but also a brilliant scientist that has been accurate so far in her guesses.
* BeleagueredAssistant: She seems to have one in the form of Moblit, the poor guy always stuck keeping her from being eaten by her experiments.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Pastor Nick learns it the hard way.
* BloodKnight: Once upon a time, but eventually realized that fighting the Titans with hate wasn't working and adopted a more...[[FluffyTamer unique]] approach.
* BrainyBrunette
* BunnyEarsLawyer: A skilled fighter, but also... quirky. She is always eager to be around Titans, seemingly unmindful of how dangerous they are.
* CleopatraNose: Her nose is big, and it is awesome.
* GenkiGirl: An adult example. Becomes particularly apparent when you get her talking about her favourite subject, Titans.
* FluffyTamer: Well, she's got the mind for it, but Titans have proven to be quite the problem children.
** AdmiringTheAbomination: Hange's response to seeing [[spoiler: Eren transformed]] for the first time is to rush towards him, arms flailing, begging to be allowed to touch him.
* ForScience
* [[ForgetsToEat Forgets To Sleep]]: Research is always top priority to Hange, as Eren finds out.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She is generally a polite, funny, kind person. But any senior officer in the Survey Corps is ''not'' someone to make angry, as Pastor Nick learns the hard way.
* HeroicResolve:[[spoiler: She is wounded after the fight against Eren, Reiner and Bert but even with her wound she crawled to help her teammates and succeeded to predict the location of the two traitors.]]
* HighAltitudeInterrogation: When questioning Pastor Nick about [[spoiler: the Titan found inside the wall]].
* MadScientist: Her Titan obsession may be extremely useful to the war effort, but it freaks ''everyone'' out.
* {{Meganekko}}
* MessyHair
* MotorMouth: She talked from dusk to daybreak non-stop about all her research to poor Eren.
* TheNicknamer: She gives a name to any titans they capture.
* NightmareFetishist: Has a noticeably unhealthy fascination with Titans. When she's naming captured Titans she talks about RealLife cannibals a bit too eagerly (and enough detail to the others feel sick).
* PluckyComicRelief: Initially, though as time goes on we're reminded just ''why'' she is a Squad Leader and senior officer in the Survey Corps.
* ThePollyanna: Subverted then played straight. She hated titans with a burning passion but is now able to talk about them enthusiastically.
* ScienceHero
* ShoutOut: She names her test subjects after real life cannibals, even telling the legend of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawney_Bean Sawney Bean]] before naming her newest test subjects. The previous two were named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish Albert]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Chikatilo Chikatoni]].
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Crunchyroll spells her name as Hanji, while Funimation uses Han''z''i.
* TooDumbToLive: Discussed, as people are ''amazed'' that she survives considering how she behaves around her precious test subjects. (Hint: That would be the job of the [[BeleagueredAssistant poor guy]] that's always yanking her out of the way and complaining about how unsafe her experiments are.)
* TomboyishPonytail
* YouWontFeelAThing: Cheerfully promises Titans this before killing them. Hange's adoration is not always a [[ForScience good]] thing.

!!Mike Zacharius
!!!Voiced By: KentaMiyake
A highly regarded officer, considered second only to Levi in terms of strength. He has an unusually sensitive nose, allowing him to detect the stench of Titans over a distance. [[spoiler: He's placed in charge of guarding and observing the new recruits suspected of being TheMole. However, during the attack within Wall Rose, he goes off alone to buy the others time and ends up being killed after encountering the Beast Titan.]]
* [[spoiler: AnArmAndALeg: His leg is partially severed when a Titan bites him, and it [[{{Squick}} dangles]] at an unnatural angle afterwards.]]
* {{Badass}}: Mike is one of humanity's best fighters. He utterly destroys the Titans inside of Wall Rose [[spoiler:until the ape-like Titan takes his gear from him, leaving him to die.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He greets people by ''sniffing'' them, something people tolerate because he's an exceptional soldier.
* CleopatraNose
* [[spoiler: ADeathInTheLimelight: He's been in the background as one of the major officers, but suddenly gets serious focus and significant CharacterDevelopment just in time for him to encounter the Beast Titan and die horribly.]]
* DeerInTheHeadlights: When [[spoiler:the ape-like Titan ''speaks'' to him]], he's so shocked and terrified he cannot move or speak.
* DoNotGoGentle: States that humanity has not truly lost until they stop fighting.
* [[spoiler:FaceDeathWithDignity: Subverted, he dies weeping hysterically and pleading for his life.]]
* AFatherToHisMen: A capable and inspiring leader, perfectly willing to make himself a decoy to ensure the escape of those under his command.
* HiddenDepths: He's weird but he's noted to be rather perceptive of the true goal of Erwin's plans (thought not as bright as the man himself).
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]
* TheNoseKnows: Is said to have a nose so sensitive that it can track Titans further than human sight.
* RousingSpeech: Gives a brief one to shake Nanaba out of despair, stating that humanity will only lose once they [[DoNotGoGentle give up and stop fighting]].
* [[spoiler: WeHardlyKnewYe: Introduced as one of the strongest members within the Survey Corps, but dies shortly after his introduction and without having accomplished much on screen.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: She's pretty obviously a huge fan of Levi.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Only member of the elite squad that doesn't have an obvious quirk or weird habit.
* ThePowerOfTrust: She requests that Eren place his trust entirely into his comrades. [[spoiler: Horribly subverted, as this results in Annie murdering the entire squad while pursuing Eren. He later blames himself for their deaths, and his own failure to act sooner.]]

A member of the Special Operations Squad, handpicked by Levi. He seems like a comical and incompetent man, but is actually an exceptional soldier with an incredibly high kill count. [[spoiler: He is killed in battle by the Female Titan.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Silly he might be, but he is actually the ''best'' out of Levi's Special Operations Squad.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths
* BunnyEarsLawyer:
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He's loud, obnoxious, and kind of pathetic most of the time. He's also got ''39'' solo Titan kills to his record, while most of the Special Operations Squad's kills are as part of a team.
* IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: He tries to copy Levi's look and speaking style, much to Petra's constant annoyance.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* MilesGloriosus: Subverted. He's an obnoxious and loud-mouthed jerk that gives Eren a hard time, so it's easy to think he's all talk. He's [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass not]].

* AFatherToHisMen: He's genuinely kind to the rookies, and takes every possible action to ensure that they remain safe during their first mission.

* HorsingAround: He mentions that his horse tends to chew on people's hair. This is quickly revealed to be why he always wears a handkerchief, as he is balding.
