*''D.O.M.A.'': The Department of Magical Affairs. Actually considered separate from the rest of DELPHI operations, D.O.M.A. is responsible for action as a liaison agency with what is known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizarding_World 'the Wizarding World'], as well as enforcing all laws applicable to U.S. citizens who fall into that category. D.O.M.A. has several branches, foremost of which is the 'Bureau of Spell Registry' (also known as the 'First Registry' in public.) During the government reorganization that created the Department of Homeland Security, D.O.M.A. became a Federal Department in its own right; however (for the purposes of secrecy), 'First Registry' Special Agents are listed and considered as FBI Special Agents (they identify themselves with the designation 'FBI - First Registry'). Under special circumstances (such as in times of declared war), D.O.M.A. falls under the direct jurisdiction of the DELPHI Secretariat.
(Under a recent government reorganization due to the events of ''The Judith Saga'', D.O.M.A. became a major Federal agency in its own right, operates with DEXA oversight and the Director of the department reports directly to both the Secretary of Extranormal Affairs and the Director of DEXA (currently, that position is held by [[Paula Trainor]].)
* ''P.O.G.O.'': Arguably the largest and most well-known of the organizations aligned with DELPHI. Short for Paranormal Oriented Global Operations, P.O.G.O. teams are six- to fifteen-man special units that are deployed around the globe as needed, with the primary focus being on discrete, extended-duration reconnaissance missions in hostile areas (The flexible nature of the terms 'discrete', 'extended-duration' and 'hostile areas' has ruffled the feathers of some friendly intelligence agencies that have stumbled upon their operations, as P.O.G.O. tactics, in some theaters of operation, are nearly identical to running intelligence networks.) At present, there are over ''five hundred'' P.O.G.O. teams in operation. All P.O.G.O. troopers are equipped with advanced mil-spec tactical, surveillance and communications gear, and most (over 85%) have metahuman abilities. Unlike any other facet of DELPHI (save Project Fast Forward), P.O.G.O. has the authority to immediately acquire (for limited durations and under special circumstances) resources and personnel from any other organization for the use of the P.O.G.O. teams; one source for new P.O.G.O. troopers is [[USAES]], which routinely sends between one-quarter to one-third of its graduates per year into the P.O.G.O. teams. The motto of the P.O.G.O. teams is '''We observe and strike in silence'.''
