Pentagon's secret army: Shadowy 60K-strong undercover force operating across globe, specializes in cutting-edge 'signature reduction' espionage techniques, has $900B budget
 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The Pentagon has amassed a secret, 60,000-strong undercover army to carry out domestic and foreign assignments, a new investigation has revealed
- The force is reportedly more than 10 times the size of the CIA's clandestine operation and includes military and civilian agents 'in real life and online'
- The agents are 'trained to create secret identities for themselves, make disguises, and can assume fake identities online to pursue high value targets'
- The digital sleuths can even manipulate biometric databases of foreign Governments so agents can pass fingerprint checks under false identities
- Newsweek says the force is part of a new front in covert warfare using a little-known espionage known as 'signature reduction'
- Signature reduction gives the US deniability on sensitive missions and allows soldiers, civilians and contractors to work under false identities
- While signature reduction operatives are rarely outed, intelligence agents point to the 2013 arrest of American 'diplomat' Ryan Fogle in Moscow as one such case
According to a Newsweek investigation, the force includes NSA agents, cyber security experts and special forces operating behind hostile enemy lines in places like North Korea and Iran, and is serviced by around 130 private companies, and supported by dozens of secretive Government agencies.
A cover element 60,000 strong? Sixty strong would present quite a challenge. Lloyd Austin at the helm? Little wonder victory has eluded us in Afghanistan for 20 years. The Signature Reduction people consumed all the talent and resources.
$900B budget was it? And the Klingon's just sat back and let the money go to DoD ?
Is there an Extraterrestrial section? A challenge coin ?
