According to current canon, Ocelot joined Foxhound much later after Big Boss's "death." I think we can assume this was part of his plan to encourage Liquid to instigate the Shadow Moses Incident, as part of his plan to eliminate the Patriots, etc. Now, we can assume that Miller joined Foxhound at the same time as Big Boss, circa. 1984, and that this had something to do with their plan to take down Cipher. Yes, Ocelot was still working for the Soviet's in 1984, participating in the invasion of Afghanistan as a specialist in interrogation. In reality, he is still acting as a member of the Patriots, allowing Cipher control of the KGB. In this way, Cipher can involve himself in both sides of Cold War conflict and play the sides against one another, drawing out the Cold War as needed until his Governance Without Borders is complete. So far, we haven't heard anything more about Foxhound or what its potential usefulness to Zero might be. Since it's a US special forces group it must therefore be under Cipher's control, but so far we haven't seen anything of them. My guess, and this is just a theory, is that since Roy Campbell joined Delta Force or whatever he was not yet commander of Foxhound and probably didn't have anything more to do with it until Big Boss resumed command. I think that, since it is almost certain Skull Face was a member of FOX ("From 'FOX' two phantoms were 'born'", his use of the reversed FOX logo, his auspicious codename) and we know that he works for Cipher, I think Skull Face was placed in charge of Foxhound but still made use of the Fox logo. When Skull Face decided to betray Cipher he reversed the patch and his renegade unit within Foxhound became XOF. Now, when Big Boss kills Skull Face, he will resume command of Foxhound and continue the war against Zero.
