Pentagon establishes Defense Clandestine Service, new espionage unit 23 Apr 2012 The Pentagon is planning to ramp up its spying operations against high-priority targets such as Iran under an intelligence reorganization aimed at expanding the military’s espionage efforts beyond war zones, a senior defense official said Monday. The newly created Defense Clandestine Service would work closely with the CIA in an effort to bolster espionage operations overseas at a time when the missions of the agency and the military increasingly converge. The official said the new service is expected to grow “from several hundred to several more hundred” operatives in the coming years.
