Intro to SEASPRAY program - later squadron E of Delta Force (and more)
2023-02-13
[GreyDynamics] SEASPRAY was a covert air unit and collaborative effort between the CIA and US Army, which began in 1981.

It is very likely that anyone reading this has never heard of the term SEASPRAY. This is for good reason, as the United States government has spent the last four decades and great effort to cast a murky shadow over the program. SEASPRAY was a joint effort to provide the US Army with clandestine air power and serve the adjacent goals of the CIA.

A grossly inaccurate pop culture representation of these phenomena forms our modern conception of black operations, black helicopters, black sites and plausibly deniable operators. Yet beyond the Tom Clancy novels, Modern Warfare video games, Bond movies, etcetera, there is an actual world of shadow covert activity. SEASPRAY, as we can tell from open sources, fits the bill perfectly.

#4  I wonder how much this has to do with the restructuring of Army Intelligence in the 1976/1977 time period.

It almost sounds like they were trying to rebuild something they'd shut down shortly before.

(Only with More Klingons).

#1  serve the adjacent goals of the CIA.

Or in terms of.... Klingon projects gone dreadfully bad, the 'clean up' of Panama's Tony Noriega administration.
