FOXHOUND and Rat Patrol still operated under the U.S. Military, so they're not exactly equivalent to being a private strike force of the Patriots, even if their orders are influenced to a degree. Besides, the Patriots' growth in power/control may be such that they no longer need their own strike force by the time Solid Snake enters the scene. XOF is no PPF (pussy private force). It was born as FOX counterpart. FOX was CIA so was XOF. They became Cipher's Strike Force in the 70s, than they went renegade and once Skull Face died, they likely come back taking order from Cipher via CIA or some other proxy. FOXHOUND and Rat Partol operate under the US military, of course, but does that actually mean something? It doesn't mean shit since The Patriots are in complete control of the US Government and military as well.

Yeah, probably The Patriots become so powerful they don't really need a Strike Force anymore... so? XOF got disbanded? Probably. I guess we'll never know. I 'm still convinced that a tough unit like XOF can't just disappear. Think about its members... no way they just quit and buy a home in Miami to enjoy retirement. I can totally see them go full bananas like Gene's FOX, Liquid's FOXHOUND, Dead Cell or Mosquito Motherfuckers.

Those guys needed a proper end. Kill em all, let them join another unit or PMC.

TPP y u no did something about that ffs?
