3 Elite Armed Forces and 5 US MIlitary Academies

As you see in my previous post, you can see I share an interest in the agencies. However, I also have a passion for the armed forces and have considered a career in them. Today, I will be explaining to you guys about the 3 elite armed forces, and the 5 military academies.

Elite Forces

Delta Force

Delta Force is an elite division of the army and specializes in assassinations of dangerous terrorists, and raids from the air. Famous for their stealth, delta force is used for counterterrorism and sometimes hostage rescue.

Navy SEALS

Navy SEALS are arguably the most ruthless and elite warriors the world has ever seen. A division of the United States Navy, the SEALS were trained to be able to survive in any environment. SEALS stands for Sea, air, and land. Seals specialize in really anything. They were most famous for the credit of the assassination of Osama bin Laden and the hostage rescue of Captain Phillips from Somalian pirates hold.

Green Berets

Green Berets are a unit of the army. They specialize in the combat of unconventional warfare (or also known as guerilla warfare), relieving threats in foreign grounds,  special reconnaissance which is operating behind enemy lines and avoiding detection, direct action, and counter terrorism.

CIA, FBI, NSA and DIA

Hey guys, today I want to share with you some information that I have on interests in agencies in the United States. I'm sure you've heard of some of these agencies, but I wanted to tell you about how it really feels to work there based on research. I am considering a career in agencies like this, knowing that my work probably won't be too similar to James Bond ;).



CIA:

   Probably the agency I would prefer to work in, the CIA stands for Central Intelligence Agency. Established in 1947, the CIA has the duty of gathering information from foreign countries. The CIA is not law enforcement and focuses on gathering military intelligence rather than executing raids and such.
   The CIA, however, does use spies in their work. For example, in the assassination of the dangerous Osama Bin Laden, CIA agents stationed in Pakistan gave information to the United States military about Bin Laden's hiding. This is part of the CIA special agents, counterterrorism division.
   Most of the information the CIA receives is then transferred to the military who will decide what the actions should be.

CIA Headquarters

FBI:

   The FBI, divergent to the CIA, deals with domestic issues in the United States. Standing for Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI is a law enforcement group in the government and focuses more on raids such as drug busts, and counterterrorism. The FBI does partake in arrests, and both investigates and raids within the country. Established in 1908, the FBI are the elite police, and only really take place in threatening or difficult cases.

FBI Headquarters

NSA:

   Established in 1952, the NSA stands for the National Security Agency. The job of the NSA is to monitor, process, and sometimes collect foreign intelligence that will ensure the security and safety of the country. The NSA is one of the biggest groups of hired mathematicians, as they deal with the analyzation of foreign data. Another big part of the NSA is ethical hacking. Sometimes the NSA may hack into foreign websites to gather information that will secure the country, and keep us away from danger. If you're into computers, this is your agency.

NSA Headquarters

DIA:

The DIA is a bit different than the rest of the agencies, as they are a branch of the United States Military. The United States military themselves operates in this group and is in charge of protecting the country by intercepting information and using firepower.
