Ground operations
MSOTs train for direct action and reconnaissance, with individual qualifications supporting the team's assigned mission.
Operations
What you do tonight matters next time.
Deploy into a campaign that continues after the debrief. Recover information, carry out your assignment, and help shape what the task force faces next.
An ongoing operational picture
Information carries forward.
Information gathered during an operation can change the next briefing. Reports connect across missions, and the CIA element contributes to a developing intelligence picture. Teams deploy with an understanding of the wider campaign.
Game Masters manage the operational environment. Command sets priorities and coordinates the force. Members contribute through preparation, communication, and the decisions they make in their assigned roles.
Combined effort

Intelligence & liaison
CIA personnel develop information, support liaison work, and help turn campaign discoveries into a clearer operational picture.
Preparation & deployment
