OMEGA: The CIA & JSOC Takedown Teams
The Omega Teams. A joint operation of the CIA and the Joint Special Operations Command or JSOC, have a significant history in the context of U.S. military and intelligence operations. The concept of these teams dates back to the early years of the Afghanistan war. The Omega program was particularly noted for its success within the special operations and CIA communities, but it depends on who you ask, since those successes are shrouded in criticism.
Important note:
We occasionally use related historical media for dramatic effect because images and footage of the real events are not always available. For educational purposes, every piece of information on The Spy Network is researched, created, and presented in historical context to the best of our abilities.

Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter and Talib sympathizer. He was not "Captured," rather, was "Detained Indefinetly" as opposed to accepted with hugs and kisses by the Taliban he ran to. Usama Bin Laden's burial at sea was not a matter of Islamic tradition - we didn't want UBL's gravesite to become a shrine for extremists. Multiple other "opinions" are not "facts." I respectfully recommend you revise your script.

I regret not going. However done alot of work on ft bragg. (Electrician) In my first lead role, (solely cause I could pour the concrete for the xfmr and generator) I installed emergency backup power at JSOC and USASOC. The air force built a new C130 4 bay hangar just before selling to Army. There i witnessed 3 days with only electricians and pipefitters because the word immigration enforcement was on base. Went from 100+ to 10 workers. More barracks than I can remember, all the access points post 911. Shooting range that burned down 1st week in operation. Turns out tracer rounds and rubber mats don't mix. Maintenance on the freefall simulator, my company had wired in the 90s. And more underground power than I care to recollect. Which would all but eliminate maintenance and outages in the civilian grid. But regret not being a soldier that was worth more in one single day than all mine. Thanks troops, u got a fan in autryville nc

The backbone of the Omega teams wasn’t the operators themselves but the Afghan partner forces they recruited and worked with. That’s where Omega developed its detailed intelligence infrastructure from, by training and enabling these Afghans to get in close into areas where they would blend in far better then any western operator could. Omega and RRC operators Mike Edwards and Philipe Peters talk about this on the Team House podcast with Jack Murphy and Dave Park.
@the-spy-network
@the-spy-network 5 месяцев назад
That's for sure. I don't think I mention that very well, but they were (at times) so succesful because of the strong connections with locals and guides. I think that would deserve more attention in the video, tbh. Duly noted.

@@the-spy-network It was Units like the Afghan “SRU” Special Reconnaissance Unit that Omega built to penetrate the enemy networks and cells. The CIA were there to vet/recruit Afghans into the program as well as drive the SSE process and provide interrogation with target development.. The JSOC elements were there to train, enable and support these Afghan Recces. The DevGru and RRC guys trained them in GPS, covert photography, tracking, surveillance, planting devices and small antenna equipment that could maximize SIGINT capabilities. Omega was a Afghan mechanism, not so much a unilateral SOF program. Check out the podcast mentioned above. It’s a wild listen

Odd… you mentioned Special Activities Division (SAD) being renamed Special Activities ‘Center’ (SAC)…… only a recent occurrence. Yet, you still referred to the Directorate of Operations (DO), which was renamed National Clandestine Service (NCS) almost 20 years ago…. What’s up with that? You guys need to do a bit more due diligence.
@the-spy-network

This depends on what kind of footage is available and what speaks to the imagination most. You knew what we were referring to, so the point is made, right? NCS is established in 2005, but I bet most people are more familiar with DO than with NCS. That's our thought process.

Yes,, they dropped Bin Laden into the Indian Ocean. .. and what picture are you talking about that "they" showed "us"... There were no photos of Bin Laden Corpse shown to anyone. Since Obama had been shot through his eye which caused a massive head wound ( his head basically canoed ) they decided not to release the graphic pictures. They verified that it was Bin Laden from his height, the statements made by his wife at the compound, facial recognition software, and most importantly by DNA testing... The US government buried him at sea so that his grave site didn't become a shrine and monument for more terrorists. Many of the SEALS that were on that mission that are still alive have confirmed this.....
