VTL Squad is an international military organization founded under the United Nations branch and is based on Paris. Unlike other regular officers, high ranking VTL Squad members were previously Japanese government officials instead of top soldiers, they do not appear as frequently as others and the only member to appear consistently is Ittetsu Shibukawa. They possess a connection to the independent group SSP via their captain, Shibukawa and the Kofune Manufacturing in terms of mechanics. While originally a simple military organization, frequent monster attacks starting from the advent of Maga-Basser in Japan forced them to revise their arsenal and combat strength in order to efficiently combat against monster attacks.
After Orb as Thunder Breastar endangered both a Z-VTOL pilot and Naomi, VTL labelled the Ultra Warrior as a public enemy until he saved the SSP members during Zeppandon's rampage. During Jugglus Juggler's capture and Magata no Orochi's revival, VTL members decides to take account of Juggler's warning and his advice to stop the monster by destroying the Tokyo Tower (the centerpoint of its revival) with their Spiner R-1 missile but realises too late that they were tricked into fulfilling their prophesied destruction. VTL is a small contrast to most of the attack teams from past Ultra Series as this team lacks a research department.
