The CAFC, or Combined Armed Forces Coalition, is a joint effort of the United States and Canadian government to use and harness the Empowered threat for the mutual gain of the citizens and the country. They monitor, contain and if necessary, eliminate potential and current Empowered threats, while also maintaining jurisdiction over all things Empowered in North American society. All members of the CAFC are highly skilled individuals, recruited from all walks of life for their unique assets. Among them are Empowered individuals, putting their powers for the betterment of society.
In the winter of 1953, after the events of White Buffalo, the FBI established Task Force Gamma, a small group based in Chicago tasked with monitoring known Empowered individuals and trained to respond to their threats, if necessary. The hero, Grizzly, was a part of this task force for small duration, and under his tutelage Task Force Gamma excelled, becoming widely known as the premiere Empowered-containment force. After only two years serving with them, the hero Grizzly left to pursue a quiet life, leaving Task Force Gamma leaderless. His protege, Jackson Abraham, took control of Task Force Gamma, steering it in a more regulatory position.
In response to the death of Torpedo Tom and the rise and subsequent outlaw of vigilante justice, Task Force Gamma was rebranded APE, American Powered Enforcement, and moved their base from Chicago to Washington, D.C., to influence the politicians. APE quickly rose as a force to be reckoned with, acting without prejudice among the populace, though it’s reach was never felt outside America. Due to their influence, it was soon when the “Registered Heroes Act” was passed. The “North American Empowered Treaty of 1965” changed the American-centered APE into the CAFC as we know it today.
For thirty years, the CAFC monitored Empowered activity in US and Canada. Subtle restructuring help consolidate their power and increase their influence across the North American continent. However, soon the Empowered threat became too much for even them to handle and they were forced to reconsider things. Months of deliberation eventually led to the creation of the DEW, Department of Empowered Welfare, a sister organization responsible for the civilian side of hero registry; that is to say, registering and interviewing of heroes, pay-out of those registered, and handling of all things mission-related.
Currently, the CAFC boast a hundred thousand employees across the US and Canada, with offices in dozens of locations.The DEW: It’s Importance and What It Means
The Department of Empowered Welfare was formed in 1991 as a response to the insurgence of Registered Heroes. The CAFC, struggling to keep up with the high-demand of the Empowered population, began to recruit for a separate division, focused purely on the civilian aspect of the job. The first DEW office was opened on a probationary period in the Nation’s capital, Washington D.C., and proved to very popular with both the Registered Heroes and the government as a whole. From there, the DEW became prevalent, boasting a work force nearly rivaling the CAFC, and with locations in every major city in the US and Canada.CAFC Divisions: Their positions, tasks, and duties

The CAFC Basic Operations Division, or Basic Operations for short, is responsible for the day-to-day logistic necessities of the CAFC as a whole. They handle the billing, mailing, internal investigations, and the dozens of other offices that any organization requires to run. Even the smallest offices typically employ at least a dozen OA’s.

The following positions are available within this division:
OA - Operations Agent
The Operations Agent’s are the basic workhorse of Basic Operations. For the most part, OA’s are normal, average individuals working for the greater good.

The CAFC Field Operations Division, or Field Operations in short, is responsible for the day-to-day activities that require interacting with the public. Field Operations conduct preliminary interviews for low-value Empowereds, answer tips offered through the tip line, and are the first sent to investigate Empowered Situations. Field Operatives tend to be numerous no matter the size of the office, but they also tend to have a high turnover rate, for obvious reasons. All Field Agents receive; A Glock 24 with (2) two magazines; full Tactical Underarmor vest capable of stopping most small arms fire; and a government-issue cell phone and vehicle. This applies to all ranks FA and over.
JFA - Junior Field Agent
Junior Field Agents are just starting out in the Field Division and are always paired with an FA. Not every Agent spends time as a JFA, though most do. JFA typically are recruited straight out of high school or college and lack the experience necessary to act on their own. What gear and loadout they have is dependant on their Supervising Agent.
FA - Field Agent
Field Agents are the bread-and-butter of the Field Division, accomplishing the majority of tasks that need to be done. They handle preliminary interviews, yearly reviews of Registered Heroes, and initial review of dangerous Situations. They have the typical loadout. FA’s are typically recruited from the military or from active-duty police or Heroes for their experience.
SA - Supervising Agent
Supervising Agent’s are Field Agents with a supervising capacity over a JFA. They are excused from most other duties other than what their typical assignments; in return for this and a small pay-raise, they are in charge of training and reporting on their charge.
SFA - Senior Field Agent
Senior Field Agents are responsible for the more advanced tasks the Field Division requires; sitting in on Entrance Interviews, supervising dangerous individuals during their yearly reviews, and as a preliminary eye on dangerous Situations. Along with the typical loadout, they have a limited budget for additional weapons and gear. Along with the increased responsibility comes a pay increase.
AS - Agent Supervisor’s
Agent Supervisors oversee specific teams and groups among the Field Division; every FA or SFA reports directly to an AS. There are multiple AS’s per location. Agent Supervisors are primarily a desk job and are capable for confirming completion of missions of those under their command and assigning them as they are given. Agent Supervisors are paid well for this increased responsibility. Along with the typical loadout, they are given a moderate budget for additional gear and limited access to the CAFC Armory.
SC - Supervisor Captain
A Supervisor Captain is responsible for the Agents and welfare of a specific Field office. The SC is primarily a desk job and will rarely be seen in the field; however, they are experienced agents all and one being in the field is cause for concern. Supervisor Captains are responsible for the various AS’s under their command. SC’s have nearly unlimited command over the Agents under their control. Along with the typical loadout, SC’s have a large budget for additional gear and moderate access to the CAFC Armory.
AD - Agent Director
The Agent Director reports directly to the DFO and is responsible for the overall, day-to-day running of the Field Division. All SC’s report directly to him or her. AD’s are experienced Agents, despite the desk-oriented position, but the presence of an AD signals trouble for everyone involved. AD’s have a lot of autonomy for a government official and are responsible for most of the changes in the Field Division. Along with the typical loadout, Ad’s have a very large budget for additional gear and free access to the CAFC Armory. Additionally, they have limited access to the CAFC experimental gear.
DFO - Director of Field Operations
The DFO is the leader of the Field Division and one of the more dangerous individuals in all of the CAFC. They are one of five leaders of the CAFC. While the AD handles the day-to-day business, the DFO manages the long-term affairs of the Field Division. They are responsible for ensuring the budget remains sustainable, they are capable of long-term sustainability when it comes to recruitment and spread of agents, and ensuring all their underlings are doing the job. They also make decisions that impact the CAFC as a whole. Along with the typical loadout, the DFO has an unlimited budget for additional gear and free access to the CAFC Armory and experimental gear.

The CAFC Special Operations Division, or Special Operations for short, is responsible for missions and tasks that fall outside the typical duties of the Field Division. While Special Operations have no specific tasks assigned on a day-to-day basis, most of its members are occupied with certain tasks, typically long-term assignments. The identities of Active Special Operations Agents are kept hidden, infected with a virus that masks all data on any device connected to a mobile network or the world wide web. Special Operations handles long-term investigative assignments, particularly those that require undercover work, initial investigation of paranormal or extraterrestrial Situation, and Empowered Situations that require a more delicate and subtle touch. All Special Operatives are highly trusted Agents, but to be considered for the spot you must consent to implantation of a Killswitch, implanted in the bottom of the spine.
JO - Junior Operative
The vast majority of members of the Special Operations are Junior Operatives. Despite the name, experience is widely varied, from fresh-faced agents newly recruited to grizzled old veterans. Junior Operatives do the majority of tasks assigned to them.

REO - Resource Engagement Operative
The third of three specialized ranks among the Special Operations, REO’s are responsible for engaging out-of-control assets and threats deemed too sensitive or too dangerous for typical field operatives. REO’s tend to have a high death toll due to the dangerous occupation.
LO - Lead Operative
Lead Operatives oversee a team of four, providing logistic and tactical support while also lending their experience and expertise to the mission. A Lead Operative is more of an honorary position and not a permanent title, instead being granted on a per-assignment basis based on the needs of the team.
TC - Team Coordinator
Team Coordinators keep in contact with the LO’s of the various teams on duty, ensuring they on mission priority and everything is under the weather. TC’s are responsible for the safety and security of the teams under their command.
