*''DELPHI Secretariat''. The administrative arm of DELPHI.
*''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.)
* ''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.)

* ''Project Fast Forward'': The first program created under the DELPHI aegis, and the primary research and development arm of the organization. Located in Niagara Falls, New York. Several other DELPHI units began as special-action projects within Project Fast Forward, and the program, like 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 their use. Furthermore, Project Fast Forward has the authority to exercise 'eminent domain' over other projects' operating facilities (a rarely-used power) for the course of 'situations of national emergency'. [[Paula Trainor]] was the Director of the Project before she took an Assistant Dean's position at [[Tennyson University]], and was replaced by [[Robert Bakeson]].
