The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is the US's main source of intelligence on other countries. They as well are known to use black operations to destablize and interfere with foreign governments. Their main ways of conducting field operations are through the US Armed Forces and the Special Activities Division (SPECACT). |
Military Organizations
These are the military organizations that the US have and are still apart of. Currently, these are the only ones seen in the Battlefield series.
| Flag | Organization |
|---|---|
|
The United States is a member state of NATO, which is featured as a faction in its own right in the singleplayer mode of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. The United States is therefore presumably involved indirectly in this faction. |
|
|
The United States was a member state of the Allied Forces during the Second World War. While they are never seen as one specific faction, they are represented as each individual nation. Therefore, they are present in both World War Two era games, and Operation Aurora in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. They were the primary faction facing off with the Axis powers during the entire course of the war, with the US joining the Allies about half way into the war. |
