The Activity
Check this out anons:
>With the spotlight shining brightly on the Joint Special Operations Command, several of its component units have receded further into the shadows. As secretive as the Army and Navy special missions units are — here I'm talking about the units popularly known as SEAL Team Six and Delta Force — they are relatively easy to write about compared to their cousin, known informally as The Activity. As ABC News reports, The Activity's missions will now be told in comic book form:
(see pic related + .pdf)
>It provides the entire special operations community with actionable intelligence ahead of discrete missions. With the exception of its new cyber squadron, its charter and structure is largely the same as when it was last disclosed: there's a signals intelligence division, a human intelligence detachment (spies and analysts), a communications squadron, an aviation squadron (pilots fly AC-130 gunships and RC-12 Guardrails), and an administrative support division. When The Activity provides its people to a joint special operations task force, it's known as "Orange." When its case officers, some of them women, recruit sources and sneak into countries to operationally prepare the battlefield, it is known by whatever nickname is given to the mission. Some old-timers refer it by a classified trigraph, OMS; it made an appearance in Bob Woodward's account of the early hunt for al Qaeda in Afghanistan as "Gray Fox." Gray Fox was the deployment name for The Activity in Afghanistan.
>Its budget — about $80 million — is classified. And its intelligence missions are not subject to oversight by the Congressional intelligence committees because virtually all Activity activity supports active or planned military missions. A few people on the Armed Services Committees have some familiarity with the Activity, but its visibility is kept low. This isn't to shield it from Congress necessarily. The Department of Defense (and the president) have, with The Activity, an intelligence service about which so little is known that even the enemy doesn't think to wonder whether their spies are in country. The Activity frequently works in conjunction with the Technical Operations Support Activity, which does classified airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions for the Special Operations Command.

>The Activity is thought to made up of around 300 operators and is under the command of JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command).
>The unit is organized into several elements
> Administration
> Training
> SIGINT
> the 'knob turners', who monitor and track radio, cell phone and other electronic communications
> HUMINT
> the HUMINT element runs agents, carries out reconnaisance, prepares safe houses, transport, plans and proves infil/exfil routes etc.
> Direct Action
> Delta Force-trained soldiers who act as the unit's 'shooters'.

I know we're not working to dox Q–I'm one of the first to say that, actually. But even if Q was a member, nobody would ever figure out who he/she was anyway. Nobody knew who killed Bin Laden until the person who claimed to have done it decided to announce it for themselves. Besides that, I believe Q said we'd be surprised to find out who he/she is; to me, that would indicate someone that we're familiar with already. Maybe.
So this isn't really about doxxing Q; it's about adding some interesting speculation. I don't know about you, but the knowledge that an elite group like this exists really grants me a measure of confidence; here we have a group that is under the direct supervision of the DOD and POTUS, with no oversight from Congressional Intelligence Comittees (ie, no exposure to Chinese or Pakistani spies). This group is so secretive that most of us have never even heard of them; they even change their name every two years. Its components all seem to fall within the confines of things that Q has mentioned doing–operators with their lives in danger, all over the world, gathering intel from the Wizards and Worlocks, etc.
If I were back in my early 20's and thinking about joining the military, this is the group I'd want to be a part of.
