Big Bangs and Debonair Guerrillas

摘要

One of the most protected and least understood aspects of intelligence operations-for obvious reasons-is commando work. The Special Activities Division and, more specifically, the Special Operations Group (SOG), is the organization inside the Central i Intelligence Agency (CIA) that is charged with paramilitary operations. It is "responsible for high threat military or covert operations with which the US government does not wish to be overtly associated." Yet these often clandestine activities, when successful, are most likely to influence the course of war.
