Divisions
APO
Authorized Personnel Only (APO) is a completely covert black-ops division of the CIA. APO can be tasked with any of a wide variety of missions related to international criminals and criminal organizations, terrorists and terrorist organizations, and even corporate espionage when it suits the best interests of the United States. However, they are often the division of choice to deal with the acquisition or destruction of the rare and mysterious Rambaldi artifacts. This is primarily due to the fact that APO's best agent, Sydney Bristow (now retired), is directly involved in the prophecies of Milo Rambaldi, wherein she is known as "the Chosen One."
