Overview of Operation Signature Reduction

Operation Signature Reduction is a Pentagon-created undercover army composed of about 60,000 people, including private security contractors and government employees. This program aims to maintain low-profile identities and operate both domestically and internationally. It is 10 times the size of the secret elements of the CIA and is part of the Pentagon's focus on competition with Russia and China. The program involves covert surveillance, espionage, and maintaining masked identities to gather intelligence and influence behavior. It serves as a link to a broader discussion on hybrid warfare, psychological operations, and the role of intelligence agencies in shaping public opinion.
