Shadow Ops Section 8

Section 8 also known as Section J or Juno, is an elite reconnaissance team of the Shadow Ops Intelligence Division. They are one of the four elite recon/intelligence units of the division. Section 8 is the division's primary combat unit. Unlike the other recon/intelligence units in the division, Section 8 focuses more on direct combat.
== Background and origins ==
Section 8 was the successor to several other Shadow Ops Intelligence Division's operative task forces. Prior to Section 8, the Intelligence Division did not have a permanent field unit and was restricted from having one. Instead, all field units were 'borrowed' from Shadow Ops Combat Teams and were usually placed under the command of TFC (Task Force Command) or STC (Special Task Command), only in rare scenarios were they placed under the Intelligence Division's control. In other cases, a Intelligence Task Force would be created out of a group or several groups of operatives working on the same mission. These units were temporary and once their mission was complete, they would be transferred back over or disbanded. This proved to be rather time consuming as well as the reallocation of resources could sometimes not be met. 
In 2145, Head of Field Operations, Janson Wierme, proposed for a permanent unit to be created under the division's direct command and control. Their roles would've been special reconnaissance and surveillance as well as operating behind enemy lines. He argued this would give the division more flexibility and faster action on any crucial intelligence that was obtained. This proposal, despite several supporters including director of the division, was rejected by Shadow Ops High Command. It was believed such a unit would've given the division too much authority and autonomy, with fears the division would begin to conduct independent operations. They did however, relax the restrictions and allow for much broader temporary intelligence units to be created and the creation of permanent groups of field operatives for espionage.
