Sad Air Lyrics. These so-called 'rendition flights' caused controversy when they came to light in 2004.As with the Dassault Falcon 50, this CIA business jet was tied to rendition flights.This Boeing 737-7BC airliner was believed to be involved with transporting prisoners to various 'interrogation' centers around the world.A military variant of the Boeing 757, believed to be used by Air Branch for the covert insertion and extraction of personnel, C-32Bs have been spotted making fast turnarounds at airports during various crisis around the globe. These twin-engine light aircraft are ideal transports for small SAD/SF teams due to their ability to land and takeoff from short, rough airstrips. As these ubiquitous helicopters are usually commonplace in theater they create less attention than a,In the run up to Operation Eagle Claw in 1980, the aborted US operation to rescue American hostages from Tehran, the CIA were invovled in an operation to recon the proposed desert staging area inside Iran. Since the operatives are often ex-military, the special ops unit has several comparisons to other elite forces like Navy SEAL Team 6 and Delta Force.The CIA changed the name of this elite, covert ops group to Special Activities Center in 2016.It was previously referred to as Special Activities Division, and for the purposes of this article, we’ll stick with SAD.The reason for the change in title was to restructure the branches that operate under the Special Activities Center.There are two separate groups that now operate under the CIA:The first department with Special Activities Division is the Special Operations Group, or SOG.SOG is reportedly responsible for operations that include high-threat military as well as covert operations.Special Operations Group is highly important to the U.S. government because it is known to employ its services when it does not want to be directly associated with the mission.Members of SOG are referred to as Paramilitary Operations Officers or Specialized Skills Officers.Unlike members of direct U.S. Military branches, Special Operations Group members do not wear any resemblance of a uniform.Therefore, there is no direct way to associate them with the United States government though they are highly skilled and trained combat soldiers.The Political Action Group, or PAG, is responsible for covert operations that deal with political influence, economic warfare, and/or psychological operations.Though difficult to accurately define since the group is so secretive, one example would be an operative that deals with the ever-increasing threat of cyber-warfare.PAG operatives are known to “influence” missions that are used to support U.S. foreign policy.For example, in the past, it has been rumored that PAG operators were used during insurgencies in order to help or restrict one side that may be counterproductive to the interests of the United States.In addition, its believed that Political Action Group members clandestinely organize various government protests and demonstrations in hostile nations.Under SOG and PAG, the Special Activities Division has four different branches:Therefore, the branch is more prone to recruit.The SAD maritime branch is the elite of the elite, so naturally, they are experts in water-craft, ships, SCUBA, underwater diving, and other sophisticated maritime skills.However, it is assumed that they are incredibly skilled pilots and aviation experts.Armor and Special Programs members are tasked with the development, testing, and covert collection of new personnel, armory, equipment, and transport.The Armor and Special Programs department serves an important purpose as the gathering of weapons and equipment must be obtained from clandestine sources abroad in order to have no connection to the U.S. government in the event an Special Activities Division operative is captured.It has been reported that there are approximately 150 paramilitaries involved with SAD, though that number cannot be confirmed as there is no way of knowing for sure.Basically everything involving SAD is classified.In fact, if a SAD operative is caught and held during a mission, it is highly likely that the U.S. government will deny any knowledge of his or her involvement.Therefore, it is impossible to know all of the details regarding the Special Activities Division, though an estimate around 150 operatives sounds plausible.The incredibly low profile unit is believed to be composed primarily of pilots and other specialists.It makes sense since both special ops units are considered the best of the best in the U.S. Military, so naturally, the CIA is going to target those individuals.SAD groups reportedly operate in six-member or smaller teams. You know. CIA Predators have carried out strikes against suspected terrorists on several occasions.The CIA often use Russian-built helicopters, such as MI-8/MI-17s, for covert operations.
