Stealth Teams, equipped with XV15 or the slightly larger XV25 Stealthsuits, are the "lone wolves" of the Tau army — they operate independently of other formations. They are intent upon ambushing isolated enemy troops and intervening in support of friendly units. Stealth Teams are not factored directly into Tau battle plans and thus enjoy a great deal of freedom of action within very broad parameters. The leaders of Stealth Teams are often regarded as being slightly eccentric and delight in employing new and unpredictable tactics. Many a foe of the Tau Empire has found himself attacked from an unexpected quarter by Stealth Teams positioned ahead of the main army.

A stealth field is projected from small nodes situated at points upon the user’s body, surrounding him in a distortion effect that makes him extremely difficult to target. Enemy models attempting to fire at a unit wholly equipped with stealth field generators must roll to check if they can see that unit. Any drones controlled by a model with a stealth field generator will also be cloaked.

You may field a Stealth Team of three to six Stealthsuits in your Tau army as an Elites choice.
