Division of Security Operations (D.S.O.) was an anti-bioterrorism organization under the juristiction of the United States federal government, and the employer of Leon Scott Kennedy from 2011 onwards.

History

The Division of Security Operations, was formed in 2011 by President Adam Benford. The idea of the D.S.O. was to select the very best agents from other branches of the United States federal government and bring them under one elite group that would act as the "sword of the President," answering directly to the President's orders to take on any bioterrorist threat to the country.^[1] It was essentially, therefore, the successor to the Federal Bioterrorism Commission; a US military organization that was disbanded in 2005 and merged into the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, though it should be noted that the two organizations natures were different, and similarities end in their overall goals.^[2]

The D.S.O. was given preferential treatment as an organization, as their ruling - being the ruling of the President - was considered absolute justice. The group was created for the purpose of efficiently and quickly eliminating any crisis that threatened the United States of America and its people.^[1]

Leon S. Kennedy was one of the founding members of the group when established by President Benford. In order to find and protect Jake Muller, Sherry Birkin was relocated from her job in another Federal agency to the D.S.O.^[1]
