The Extraterrestrial Combat Unit, AKA X-COM, is a multinational organization under the aegis of the Council of Funding Nations. It is tasked with managing the alien presence on Earth and repelling the current invasion. It's members are made up of the best and the brightest from every nation. Top soldiers, scientists, engineers and pilots have been gathered together so that the whole might be greater than the sum of the parts.<br>

Originally established in the 1950s as an American agency, X-COM was retasked in 1963 as an international group, put under command of the Council of Funding Nations. However, it saw very little action until recently, aside from a brief period in [REDACTED BY ORDERS OF COUNCIL]. The attacks in the last few years have convinced the world governments that national militaries are insufficient, and X-COM should be reactivated.<br>

X-COM's sister agency is known as X-INT, the Extraterrestrial Intelligence Unit. Their task was to monitor for alien activity and provide recommendations on whether or not the program needed to be activated. Like X-COM, it's members are composed of intelligence agents from every nation, recruited under the same aegis. With the alien onslaught beginning, their task is now to support X-COM with intelligence, while rooting out alien spies, infiltrators and collaborators.<br>

X-COM's operational guidelines are Survive, Adapt, Win; taken from a speech given by X-COM's first director, Myron Faulke. X-COM faces an impossible foe. An alien species that bridges the gulf between stars, and has technology far in advance of our own. Therefore, their strengths must be taken by X-COM and made ours. X-COM must survive the attacks, take the enemies technology and develop it into armor and weapons that can be used to fight back and push the invaders off the planet.<br>

The current director of X-COM is Seth Black, a highly proficient director who worked for numerous nations and corporations across the world, making countless enemies with his blunt force approach to politics, while also getting the job done; before being forced into retirement by the American government. The Council brought him on specifically because of this experience.<br>

* To ''militarily collaborate and subordinate its national forces to X-COM'' on any situation regarding the aliens, up to and including signing over existing military bases for X-COM's sole usage. All alien activity is considered to be in the jurisdiction of X-COM, with the exception of situations considered to be a state of national emergency. However, on that extreme case, any individual action will need to be notified to the CFN.

* To ''avoid any individual contact'', diplomatic or otherwise, with the aliens. X-COM will be the only organization authorized to negotiate with alien forces on humanity's behalf. One chief concern is that non-member nations will attempt negotiations on their own behalf. CFN members are required to have their intelligence networks remain aware of such attempts.
