Task Force Orange Content
This is what I think I know so far. Task Force Orange/JREG is complicated and very classified. It serves under the Joint Special Operations Command and the Unit Commander position switches between Intelligence and Infantry. They previously served under the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command before moving under Joint Special Operations Command. My theory is that individuals assigned to the unit are either assigned to the USASOC (A) HQ, JSOC HQ, or the unit with the current cover name (See Richard E. Angle's biography). They have been known to work with the CIA, NSA, DIA, and a host of other US Intelligence Community organizations. They have trained with the Mossad and possibly other Israeli units to help with building their capabilities. I cannot find a direct source to the unit's training with Israel, but I have found it mentioned in the books I've read.

There are two Colonels, one serves as the Unit Commander and the other serves as the Deputy Unit Commander. They rotate based on deployments. The Unit Commander deployed abroad commands all units outside of the United States. The Deputy Unit Commander at home commands all units inside the United States. Personnel from the US Marine Corps have served in the unit as well as a US Navy Intel personnel. They recruit through the US Army Personnel Assessment Branch for the US Army.

Squadrons and Units assigned to the ISA that I know of:
 * Command Detachment (Belvoir)
 * Directorate of Intelligence/Directorate of Intelligence and Security (Belvoir)
 * Computer Networks Division (Belvoir)
 * Operations Squadron (Belvoir)
 * SIGINT Squadron (Belvoir)
 * HUMINT Squadron (Belvoir)
 * Targeting and Analysis Center (Rosslyn)
 * Note: At its concept, there were three operations branches (SIGINT/HUMINT/Operations) and one analysis branch (DoI/DoIS). Most likely the ISA has a Combat Support Squadron. The Computer Networks Division and Targeting and Analysis Center most likely fall under the analysis branch.

CIA Special Activities Center
Given the on-going Russo-Ukraine Crisis that started in February, the creation of this main sub-heading is for Gunner Rawley if Warhounds includes the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. It is critical to note, this is a writing project that takes inspiration from the modern-day geopolitics and military affairs. This is not a real-world individual or story, all of the information gathered for this sub-heading is gathered through verified events that have already happened. The individual who is being written is a fictional character written into a modern-day geopolitical, military crisis.

In the buildup of Russian forces across the Ukrainian border, Gunner deployed in December as the Team Leader of Team Bravo to Kyiv where he ran intelligence collecting missions across the Donbas Region. He then focused around Kharkiv before returning to Kyiv to build an intelligence network and train select Territorial Defense Forces units in unconventional warfare, intelligence collecting, and small unit tactics. In late January, Gunner returned to the United States and briefed the National Security Advisor on the on-going efforts. One week later, he returned to Ukraine where he helped with the evacuation of the United States Embassy from Kyiv to Lviv and provided protection to the United States Ambassador. Gunner moved to Kyiv where he continued to work with CIA-trained paramilitaries in their stay-behind network. By February 24th, he moved to Lviv to help with escorting Embassy staff to Poland.

In the breakout of conflicts, Gunner monitored the situation within Kyiv and Kharkiv through his network while passing along essential information through covert channels. He moved between Poland and Romania where he continued to monitor the Ukrainian defensive battles across the country.
