World Intelligence Taskforce (WIT)

WIT is the sunder-guard for the United Nations and thus presumably for the whole world. Well, they try. WIT was founded in 1948, in Israel, during the Palestine War, when a British commander of UN troops found himself up against Arabs commanding djinnish forces. He received surprising kinds of help from an American diplomat. The diplomat turned out to belong to the Department of the Ulterior. The British commander turned out to belong to Greenwood and was able to bring in an agent of the Eclipse Directorate working in Beirut when the two of them needed still more help. (No one suspected any involvement by the Eidah Yaakov, one of the two Jewish Orders, or even suspected the existence of the Order.)
Ever since then, the British, American, and French sunder-guards have always lent support to WIT, and the membership has slowly broadened to include sunder-guards of other nations and even esoteric organizations of other types ~ sometimes including Circles and Orders. The Kerdeans have been openly associated since 1953. Other associated groups include the Men of Sherwood, the Knights of Solomon, and the Teslaniks. The sunder-guards of Russia, China, or any Arab nations other than Saudi Arabia and Lebanon have been excluded, causing much ill feeling.
WIT exists within the UN's organization without the UN's knowledge, maintaining its precarious position with some esoteric skills of its own (the blank white cards that always appear to be the right ID, no matter the circumstances, for instance). It lends its strength to any sunder-guard that appears to need it ~ often without being asked, which occasions some annoyance. It has sometimes tried to intercede when opposed sunder-guards fight each other, but the results have always been very messy.
The current commander of WIT is Brigadier General William Warfield-Gordon, working with a few dozen special-operations soldiers with esoteric training, and with various UN diplomats who are members of their nations' sunder-guards.
