IMF AGENT

John Doe was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from high school, John began attending the United States Military Academy at West Point. John graduated from West Point with a Bachelor of Science in Management and a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. While at West Point, John decided to become an intelligence officer. Upon graduating from the Military Intelligence Officer Basic Course at the U.S. Army Intelligence Center, he was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart. John served as the assistant battalion intelligence officer in the 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment. He later served as an all-source intelligence officer in the 297th Military Intelligence Battalion at Fort Gordon. With numerous commendations, John left the Army after five years of service.

He then moved to Washington, DC. and was hired by International Missions Firm. IMF is a high-tech firm that provides intelligence gathering and security management services to corporations and individuals in the private sector. As a junior associate with the firm, John was tasked with security consulting and information brokering. Eventually, his exemplary work caught the attention of IMF's Board of Directors and they concluded that he would be perfect for work with the hidden side of the firm.

Unknown to the public, in addition to its overt work in the private sector, IMF is also exclusively contracted by the U.S. government to handle dangerous and highly sensitive international covert operations missions that have been deemed "impossible." Specifically, this private organization is tasked with performing short-term deep-cover unilateral espionage operations and other covert and clandestine actions that for either political or legal reasons are too sensitive and risky for the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies. When intelligence deemed critical to national security cannot be obtained by traditional entities and means, IMF is contracted to conduct physical operations. However, because the missions in which it engages are of an extremely sensitive nature, success will almost never come solely from the barrel of a gun. Subtlety is IMF's watchword. If the mission could be solved as easily as pulling a trigger, it would have been one of the U.S. government agencies which would have performed it.

Although he was initially only told that the job involved "special government contracts", John exuberantly accepted the position. Afterwards he was informed of the nature of the work. He then went through an intensive operational training course to train him in so-called "operational intelligence" or "tradecraft" skills. This means, he was taught the finer points of espionage such as surveillance, clandestine photography, infiltration, and exfiltration techniques. John was also trained for night parachuting, tactical high speed emergency driving, rappelling from helicopters, and dry and wet demolition. Because of his military experience, he excelled through training.

Once John completed training, he was promoted to senior associate and placed in an elite "Impossible Mission Force" team. By assuming false identities and utilizing the most advanced technology, John and the rest of members of this highly trained "IM Force" go deep undercover, putting their lives on the line in the field to seize critical intelligence or apprehend dangerous and elusive individuals that pose a threat to America's national security.

Because IMF is a private intelligence service that operates independent of the official U.S. government national security apparatus, John can disregard various laws and international treaties in order to accomplish a mission. Once his orders have been given, there are no required procedures for the fulfillment of the mission. John can use whatever means he deems necessary. Success is all that matters. The downside is, of course, obvious. If he were to be captured or killed, the IMF Company Secretary will disavow any knowledge of his actions.
