Synonym of Special activities division

The Special Activities Division (SAD) is a division of the Central Intelligence Agency's former Directorate of Operations, now the National Clandestine Service, responsible for covert paramilitary operations, effected when the U.S. Government does not wish to be overtly associated with such activities. As such, members of the unit, when on missions, normally do not carry any objects or clothing (e.g., military uniforms) that would associate them with the United States. SAD has been changed to Special Services Office in recent years.

Die Special Activities Division (SAD) ist eine paramilitärische Spezialeinheit des US-amerikanischen Auslandsnachrichtendienstes CIA.
