Special Operations Group: Salvation was originally drafted as a feature-length script. However, instead of working to raise funds and external support to shoot the film as a $2.5 million - $5.0 million USD feature, the cast and crew collectively decided to first shoot SOG: Salvation as a "mini-feature" (aka short film) to build audience, studio and film festival interest in the underlying story.

During the briefing scene, the MARSOC team is told they've been "seconded" to the CIA's Special Operations Group (aka "SOG") and are asked to change from their standard MARPAT camouflage to A-Tacs camouflage BDUs . However, the MARSOC team is allowed to use the rest of their MARSOC-issued weapons and gear. In reality, not only do the CIA's SOG operators wear non-U.S. issue uniforms, they also use non-U.S. issue weapons and equipment to conceal any ties to the U.S. government. For budgetary reasons, the producers of the film could not justify the expense required in purchasing multiple sets of weapons and gear for the MARSOC operators. As a result, only the camouflage is changed.
