I heard many people say - whilst trying to guess how The Phantom Pain's storyline would pan out, and to some extents work - that Foxhound is a Patriots-controlled special forces unit. At what point did they actually gain control over Foxhound?

As far as I know, as I haven't played either of the Metal Gear games all the way through, Rat Patrol 01 (which is proven to be 'PATR10T' at the end of MGS4) is the only group that is said to be controlled by the Patriots. I might be confusing this because they had FH emblems on their armour though, I'm not sure if they were a new FH unit.

Big Boss assumes command of Foxhound again, but is there any proof that Foxhound is controlled by the Patriots before he takes command again? I think it's possible that, as Kaz was for MSF, spies infiltrate and fill the ranks of Foxhound in an attempt by Zero's hand to overthrow Big Boss.
