S.H.I.E.L.D. (NowhereMash)

The Strategic Hazard Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Directorate is a combined military, scientific research, and espionage agency with a mandate to protect the populace of the world from threats beyond the scope of standard national security agencies. It was reformed from the remnants of the Strategic Scientific Reserve in the aftermath of World War II, and is made up of personnel from three disciplines: Operations (Ops) is the military, tactical and armed security division; the Science and Technology division (Sci-Tech) provides scientific research and medical support; Communications (Comms) is focused on data analysis and network security.
=== SHIELD Sub-Agencies ===
SHIELD has multiple sub-agencies for addressing particular threats. 
==== Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense ====
As its name suggests, the BPRD is tasked with researching and defending against paranormal threats to humanity. Their agents primarily deal with rogue magic users and the occasional undead creature or arcane artifact, but are sometimes called on to deal with more serious threats, such as summoned demons and large forces of creatures of Shadow.
==== XCOM ====
The Extraterrestrial Combat Unit is tasked with the defense of Earth against extraterrestrial threats. Originally formed as the Bureau of Strategic Emergency Command, a United States government agency to protect against possible communist invasion, XCOM was reorganized and retasked with the defense of Earth following an alien attack on the Groom Range military facility. It was absorbed into SHIELD following the successful repulsion of the Outsider invasion.
