History:

The Bureau of State Security (Бюро государственной безопасности), shorten StateSec or BGB), is the secret police of the Neo Soviet Union. It is sometimes called by the name of its predecessor agency in the Old Soviet Union, the Committee of State Security,  Комитет государственной безопасности, KGB). The name of the Bureau is sometimes translated Ministry of National Security or Министерство национальной безопасности, MNB), or Federal Security Service, Федеральная служба безопасности, FSB) in the game, and series, the equivalent agency of the Russian Federation.

The Bureau is divided into several directorates including the First Main Directorate, the Second Main Directorate, the Sixth Directorate in charge of internal security, the Seventh Directorate, and the Ninth directorate in charge of diplomatic protection. Within the KGB, the First Main Directorate was in charge of foreign operations, the Second Main Directorate of counterintelligence, and the Seventh Directorate of surveillance. There also used to be a Sixteenth Directorate dedicated to Relic Technology, but it appears to no longer be active in the Neo-Soviet Union. (Spoilers) Under the URNC, Statesec maintains a department called the Doll Administration, which maintains its own extensive Public Security Department composed of tens of thousands of people belonging to hundreds of task forces.

CIA infiltration Ministry of Internal Affairs

In 2055, the CIA team's hunt for Snatcher has led them to the Moscow headquarters, along with the cache of sleeper agent being stored inside the nuclear bunker underground. With only one way in and out of the bunker, James Alder decides to call for Aidan Belikov, one of the members of Ministry of Internal Affair and general of Neo-Soviet Union who used to be a sleeper agent that James's mention and a mole in the BGB, to get them inside. CARV.2 is sceptical that Belikov will honor his word since Deja vu like his great grandfather Dimitri Belikov, but Alder insists that he will get them through.

The director of the Bureau is Viktor Zelinski, who used to hold the position of Minister of Internal Affairs at the same time. M16A1, HK416, UMP45, and UMP40 worked for the Bureau at some point in the past. Angelia used to be part of the Bureau before being expelled and working for them in an unofficial capacity only except Arya, she remains in StateSec. K also works with the Bureau as a kuaused agent of the German Stasi. Groza, and possibly Peritya, worked for the Doll Administration before 2074.

The Bureau was involved in the Butterfly Incident and in exposing the KCCO's plans to re-spark World War Three. They later forced the Commander to work for them because they were exposed to classified data, and used them to track down Angelia in Belgrade and investigate the ruins of the Paldiski Submarine Base near Tallinn.

Info:

The Ministry for State Security (Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, MfS), commonly known as the Stasi, was formed in 1950 in East Berlin, dissolved in 1990 during the German reunification, and eventually revived along with the German Democratic Republic.

The Stasi is renowned as one of the most effective secret police and intelligence agency in the history of mankind. Using an extensive network of agents, it dealt with political opponents through psychological and direct action tactics and conducted espionage and covert operations abroad through its Main Directorate for Reconnaissance (Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung, HVA), notably headed by Markus Wolf. Moreover, the Stasi maintained close relations, such as intelligence sharing and liaised agents, with their Soviet counterparts of the KGB, and later with the Neo-Soviet Bureau of State Security.

However, the Stasi lost most of its prestige after an undisclosed incident in the decades before the 2060s and fell years behind the technology and techniques of their Neo-Soviet counterparts. Directors changed as frequently as state scandals occurred. When Romy Reifenstahl  became director of the agency, she launched a recruitment drive of Dolls to make up for the lack of personnel.

Senior agents of the Stasi use a single letter as their codename, based on the legend saying that the first 26 agents of the Stasi all had a different first letter in their name. Modern agents usually choose their letter based on a word instead. Light wanted to use the letter U, for "Unknown".

Polizei and the Stasi often butt head during operations.

Info:

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), sometimes referred to as Langley (in reference to the neighborhood that the CIA headquarters is stationed at), is a civilian intelligence agency of the United States Government. Its primary function is collecting and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons in order to advise public policy makers. It is based in Langley, Virginia. It is also known as The Agency or The Company, and its agents in Central America referred to as "UCLAS" (Unilaterally Controlled Latino Assets). The organization itself in Latin America was sometimes referred to as La Cia, due to the primarily Spanish-speaking locals and the name technically being a feminine word.

Founded on September 18, 1947 as a successor of World War II's Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the CIA played an important role during the Cold War.

Antagonism with The Boss

n 1959, the CIA was unhappy with the President's selection of The Boss for covert sabotage missions in the Soviet Union, and refused to help her. However, when The Boss managed to tap into the Philosophers' spy network  and eventually plant a mole into the Soviet bloc to bring back volumes of data, the CIA had her stop so they could reap in on the credit, using their concern of her getting involved in black ops as an excuse. Around the same time, the CIA also sent various soldiers into North Vietnam to train various guerilla groups to fight against the North Vietnamese. Eventually, they cut The Boss's sleeper agent's pay by a large percentage, which resulted in her mole defecting completely to the Soviet Union and feeding them misinformation.

In 1961, when The Boss noticed conflicting details about the doctored blueprints supplied by their mole, the CIA ignored her claims, believing that she was trying to claim back her former glory. After The Boss discovered the truth about Sputnik 5, as well as what the CIA had done, they attempted to ruin her life to avoid taking responsibility. They first began to feed several lies to the newly elected President, John F Kennedy (the first President to have no previous ties with the Philosophers), such as claiming that it was The Boss's fault that the sleeper agent had defected, and then having her placed into the Mercury Lady project. They eventually tried to erase The Boss from the Mercury team, even going as far as to doctor a photo of them, after its failure and Gagarin's announcement. Around this time, the CIA also orchestrated a mission known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion, where they trained Cuban exiles and thus tried to have them retake control of Cuba from the communists, but it backfired and ended in disaster when Kennedy ended up not sending in the air support he promised them. The CIA also used this event as part of their cover-up of The Boss's Mercury Lady accident.

In 1962, the CIA had Major Zero aid Soviet researcher Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov,  and his family, defect to the United States. However, at the same time, the CIA, via one of its spy planes, also discovered that the Soviets were creating a missile base in Cuba, leading to the Cuban Missile Crisis. After several tense weeks, the Soviets eventually backed down from installing the missile base, although under the condition that Sokolov be returned to them. During this time, Sokolov's family was also kept in CIA custody.

It was speculated by Green Beret Roy Campbell, that the CIA were aware that the Soviet would look to the San Hieronymo Peninsula in Colombia as the site for a new missile base, if they failed to do so in Cuba, even before the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. However, this information was seemingly kept from the rest of the government, which would have allowed the CIA to use it in any future secret negotiations with the Soviets.

In 1962, Zero and The Boss unofficially formed the special forces unit FOX within the CIA.

At some point during the 1960s, the CIA recovered the operative Python from Vietnam, whose injuries had resulted in his losing the ability to control his body temperature, which would cause his death without proper treatment. They fitted him with a special cooling suit to alleviate his condition so that he could eventually return to duty performing top-secret black ops. There were also plans to send a CIA agent into Soviet territory, disguise him a GRU officer, infiltrate a base, and steal classified documents, but the mission eventually ended up cancelled for undisclosed circumstances.

They also appear in a joint operation, Operation Charybdis, along with the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI-6.

Alex Mason and Frank Woods, carrying out several missions given by Jason Hudson. An unnamed CIA operative is also featured in the final mission, where he takes down Jose Luiz Menendez, Raul Menendez's father.

During the week between the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater, there was also a shakeup at Langley that resulted in several key figures in the CIA being placed under house arrest, due to accusations of following The Boss's example and defecting. 

In 1964, the DCI and The Boss organized the Virtuous Mission in order to regain control of the Philosophers' Legacy, which was in possession of GRU Colonel Volgin in Tselinoyark. After Volgin launched one of the portable nuclear weapons given to him by The Boss, the CIA, fearful of the renowned soldier's charisma, arranged to have her killed in order to clear America's name. Director Hot Coldman then planned the follow-up mission Operation Snake Eater and had Naked Snake (the last protégé of The Boss and member of FOX) sent into Tselinoyarsk a week later to kill Volgin, The Boss, her Cobra Unit, and also to retrieve the Legacy. After the operation, Coldman lost his position as a Director (presumably for knowing too much about the mission). The mission's success led the DCI to establish FOX as an official CIA unit.

Meanwhile, Python undertook training to become the "Anti-Snake," so that he could eliminate Naked Snake, a.k.a. Big Boss, should he ever betray the CIA.

During the 1960s, the Pentagon began to feel threatened by the CIA's growing influence in America's military affairs, especially in regards to the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961 and the covert ops in indochina

Sometime between 1966 and 1970, the CIA began taking people in for the Perfect Soldier Project, a project designed to create the ultimate soldier. During the stages of the project, they also took a young, recovering child soldier named Frank Jaeger from a relief center in Mozambique and used him as a guinea pig for the project. Jaeger ultimately turned out to be the only survivor and successful byproduct of their project. They also went through another project, this time to produce the ultimate battlefield commander. A FOX operative named volunteered to be a test subject to the project codenamed the Successor Project.

In October 1967, the CIA, through the joint efforts of the Bolivian special forces and commandos from their Special Activities Division stationed in Bolivia, captured and executed the Cuban revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

In 1970, the Cold War appeared to be coming to a close as the Soviets were running out of the funds required to carry it on. This would cause the CIA to lose the influence it had gained over this time. They arranged for Gene's FOX unit to steal the Intercontinental Ballistic Metal Gear and transport it to a Soviet base at the San Hieronymo Peninsula, so that they could deliver it to the Soviets and pretend to defect to the USSR. However, at the same time, the Pentagon had ordered FOX (via Lt. Cunningham) to launch the ICBMG into the Soviet Union so as to tarnish the CIA's reputation as an efficient intelligence gathering agency. By doing this they could re-ignite the Cold War.

However, Gene had other plans and changed the target from the USSR to Virginia, USA, which would obliterate the main headquarters of both the Pentagon and CIA. This forced the DCI to head to an underground bunker with records of the Philosophers' Legacy. Knowing this, Ocelot was able to intercept him, kill him, make it seem as though he committed suicide (all of which he was easily able to do ironically thanks to the CIA and DOD orchestrating FOX's rebellion lowering security in the bunker significantly), and take the remaining part of the Legacy. Because of this, the CIA headquarters also experienced a major shakeup on its seventh floor (where the CIA's top brass is located).

The Philosophers' Legacy was later used by Zero to establish the Patriots, a successor organization of the Philosophers controlling the United States from the shadows. Around this time, the CIA was also influencing Costa Rican president José Figueres Ferrer into enacting pro-American policies as well as allowing gold mines to be used by foreign companies.

In 1974, the CIA apparently hired a mysterious military force to invade Costa Rica, the nation without a military. In actuality, the CIA was already stationed in Costa Rica with the intent of driving out the Soviet influence in the neighboring country, Nicaragua. However, the Peace Sentinel (a rogue unit of the CIA), led by CIA Station Chief for Central America Hot Coldman, was conducting the Peace Walker project, which entailed creating the perfect deterrent which he planned to use in creating a new order where machines ruled over everyone. In addition, the CIA also attempted to hunt down the Militaries San Frontieres, necessitating the latter party to relocate whenever they come near, to which Kazuhira Miller,  MSF's subcommander, had to assure Big Boss that the guests that have arrived to MSF's camp were not members of the CIA. After the the chaotic events where Coldman leaked Peace Walker's false data to NORAD and nearly caused a nuclear war, the CIA, along with the KGB, attempted to cover up the events in question, which also served as a golden opportunity for the MSF to arm Metal Gear ZEKE with the nuclear warhead that was originally installed on Peace Walker after they fished it out of Lake Nicaragua. Eventually, their involvement in José Figueres Ferrer's policies was admitted by Ferrer on March 1975. In addition, Miller and Big Boss worried after Chico managed to successfully leak a photograph of Chrysalis to a tabloid piece, resulting in Grenada's Prime Minister, Sir Eric Gairy, requesting that the UN allow the establishment of a facility studying UFOs and extraterrestrial life, namely due to the fact that Gairy might end up digging too deep and stumbling on various CIA projects that resembled the Alien Abductions/Cattle Mutilations reported throughout Central America, causing the situation to go red, although they still would have problems actually getting to him due to Grenada being next door to Cuba. In addition, Paz Ortega Andrede was also a member of the CIA, acting as a triple agent between them, the KGB, and Cipher, also known as the Patriots.

On December 21, 1974, just a few weeks after the Peace Walker Incident, the mysterious XOF group claimed to be under the employment of the CIA. However, an undercover agent uncovered that the group didn't even answer to Langley, and informed Big Boss as much during a mission to retrieve classified intel relating to Cipher for the MSF.

The CIA during the Soviet-Afghan War proceeded to back the Mujahideen to drive the Soviets out of the region. This included supplying them with a secret weapon codenamed Honey Bee, although after the Hamid that had the weapon were wiped out, the CIA was forced to hire Diamond Dogs to retrieve it, being unable to retrieve it directly without exposing America's involvement. They also had a CIA informant stationed at OKB Zero, although he went AWOL out of paranoia after he uncovered XOF's plans to use the vocal cord parasites and XOF's former ties to the CIA.

During the late 1980s, Solidus Snake operated as a CIA paramilitary in the First Liberian Civil War.

Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, and Frank Woods are seen in 1981, with the addition of agent Russell Adler and operative "Bell" as they attempt to stop the Soviet spy Perseus

1991, The CIA operatives were in two faction consisting of Crimson One and Rogue Black Ops.

Following the Outer Heaven Uprising, Solid Snake briefly joined the CIA as an undercover agent but left after six months in the organization due to feeling dissatisfied with the system.

In 1999, during the Zanzibar Land Disturbance, the Agency managed to infiltrate agent Holly White  into the hostile country, posing as a journalist. She went on to help Snake complete Operation Intrude F014. The CIA also looked into Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar's background under White's request due to the latter becoming suspicious of him.

In 2002, the CIA would claim that the "evidence" that Iraq had WMDs amounted to a "slam dunk case." The search following the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S., British and international forces yielded no WMDs.

Decoy Octopus was scouted and recruited by the CIA for recovering VIPs and posing as decoys for them. Also, any subsequent tests for Metal Gear REX would have been overseen by the CIA, due to the Department of Defense's term of overseeing the tests being expired by the third test.

In 2019, the CIA appointed a liaison operator to the United Kingdom assisted the MI6 in tracking down the Al-Qatala cell responsible for the attack on Piccadilly Circus, they also provided help for the Urzikstani Liberation Force (ULF), led by Farah Karim. To facilitate this assistance, the CIA dispatched Alex Keller, one of their operatives, to be embedded with the Militia in their struggle against Al-Qatala and the Russian occupation forces under the command of General Roman Barkov.

In late 2019, CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell helped Captain John Price to establish his own Task Force, the 141.

On October 31st, 2022, Station Chief Kate Laswell went on an off-the-book operation together with John Price and Kyle "Gaz" Garrick to search for the stolen American ballistic missiles. And on November 4th 2022,  Station Chief Kate Laswell helped in tracking down the whereabouts of the final stolen missile and guided Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish to defuse it.

In 2025, only two known CIA operatives appear: Farid, who works undercover as a mole with Cordis Die, and a CIA Nerd who worked  on cracking the Celerium device for JSOC.

In 2050s, as America gone through Choas after the war, the CIA went underground, with many remnants of US government, to prepare of possibility to fight back, CIA agent Colin Harper's mission to rescue his sister and search of the killer of his mother and kill many of East Coast American Rossartrist Alliance members which led to the rise of Union Continental, remake of American Revolution hybrid of America Civil War led to start another American Civil War. Eventually, the Civil war and Union Contiental took down the Rossartrist leading the United States Reborn as CIA regain normal state back to Langley, the CIA remains the world oldest agency throughout 78 years as United States enter New World, new country organization such as Neo-Soviet Union and Pan-European Union (two victors) and German Democratic Republic as the world witness US reborn again, as American President Elizabeth decided a speech of her country that US deserved and their sins due to Incident and Spiral of War.
