File Overview: The Foundation's mission is to Secure, Contain, and Protect. While unified behind these goals, achieving them requires a wide variety of approaches. This has necessitated the creation of numerous departments, each specializing in a specific task, discipline or field.

Some of the more notable Departments are listed below, although it should be noted that these are [[[list-of-foundation-s-internal-departments| not the only Departments]]], and [[[departments-complete-list| a more comprehensive list]]] can be found elsewhere.

[[f>image o5-council.png width="100px"]]

**Overview:** The O5 Council, also known as the Council of Overseers or Overwatch Command, is the highest authority within the SCP Foundation. The Council members have [[[security-clearance-levels| Level 5 Security Clearance]]], giving them unredacted access to the entire SCP database.

While uninvolved in routine matters and deliberately separated from any contact with the anomalous, when O5 Council members do  [[[task-forces#alpha-1| choose to intervene]]], their word is final. The exact number, identities, and roles of the O5 Council members is strictly classified.

**Overview:** While the O5 Council decides what is safe, [[[ethics-committee-orientation| the Ethics Committee]]] determines [[[ethical| what is ethical]]]. Although the Foundation takes a pragmatic approach to moral quandaries, the Ethics Committee ensures that only [[[the-foundation-eats-babies| necessary sacrifices]]] are made and that the [[[ethics-guide| most ethical option]]] is always chosen. Foundation personnel should be aware that the Ethics Committee is observing, evaluating, and [[[task-forces#omega-1| passing judgement]]].

**Overview:** The Recordkeeping and Information Security Administration (RAISA) is responsible for keeping the Foundation database [[[scuttle| secure and intact]]]. RAISA [[[scp-076| controls access]]] to [[[scp-5549| classified information]]], deciding what to redact and what to reveal. RAISA also [[[secure-facility-dossier-site-7| maintains backups of the SCP database]]], protects documents against intrusion and infiltration, and [[[scp-031| monitors inconsistencies]]] in Foundation files to discern whether the cause is mundane or anomalous.

Foundation employees may encounter [[[scp-2998| notes]]] from RAISA appended to [[[raisa-6147| SCP documentation]]], often signed by RAISA Director [/system:page-tags/tag/maria-jones Maria Jones] and providing context for the information that follows.

[[f>image https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/jerden-insignia/alchemy-department.png width="100px"]]

**Overview:** The Alchemy Division of the Foundation's Department of Science is often dismissed as a relic or a curiosity by their colleagues in more mainstream disciplines. However, alchemy is not simply a primitive form of science. Alchemy is the field of study specialising in the manipulation of the Aetheric forces that form the basic elements of reality. When conventional science fails to explain an anomaly, it may be time to consult an Alchemist.

[[f>image https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/local--files/secure-facility-dossier-site-169/AEED-logo.png width="100px"]]

**Overview:** The Anomalous Entity Engagement Division (AEED) specializes in the humanization of the containment process and to establish a mutual bond between personnel and anomalies. The AEED aims to create a safe environment where both parties are treated as equals, frequently conducting a number of recreational activities and the like to further strengthen the relationship between them.

[[[secure-facility-dossier-site-169|Site-169]]] serves as the department's headquarters, where anomalies are free to roam and interact with other people regardless of position. While the AEED is smaller compared to other divisions, it has had a positive impact on facilities integrating their staff. Though, it might take some time until a great majority of them welcomes them with open arms.

 **Overview:** Antimemes are ideas with self-censoring properties that discourage or prevent people from spreading them. The Antimemetics Division exists to research and contain anomalous antimemes. These concepts, objects, and entities threaten normalcy and endanger human life, but are almost impossible to record or even remember.

Through careful observation, extensive training, and regular use of mind-altering mnestics, the Antimemetics Division is able to deal with the dangers that [[[we-need-to-talk-about-fifty-five| everyone else forgets]]].

**Overview:** The Artificial Intelligence Applications Division (AIAD) of the Foundation's IT Department was created to develop, study, and utilise Artificial Intelligence. This includes containing or neutralising anomalous artificial intelligences, as well as creating Foundation-Aligned Artificially Intelligent Conscripts (.aic) to run Foundation Facilities and be deployed on field missions in digital space.

**Overview:** Initially created as a coalition between the Department of Parazoology and the Department of Mythology and Folkloristics, the Cryptozoology Division handles all cryptid-related anomalies that have fallen into the Foundation’s hands. With its primary HQ based in [[[secure-facility-dossier-site-44|Site-44]]], the Division carries out field research, lab testing and containment of parafauna that have already become prevalent in their local area.

[[f>image https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/theme%3Adecom-dept/Decom.%20Dept.%20Logo.svg width="100px"]]

**Overview:** Although the focus of the Foundation is on containment rather than destruction, there are anomalies that are too dangerous, unpredictable, or resource-intensive to be safely contained. When all else fails, the last resort is the Decommissioning Department.

This Department reviews petitions to intentionally terminate anomalous objects, approving only those proposals deemed necessary and viable. The Decommissioning Department also provides expert advice on the most efficient ways to decommission anomalies, utilising humane methods while minimising collateral damage.

**Overview:** One of the Foundation's newer Departments, the Emergent Threat Tactical Response Authority (ETTRA) specialises in identifying and responding to threats, coordinating emergency responses to events affecting [[[resurrection-old-foes-hub| multiple Foundation sites]]], or even [[[scp-7000|the entire world]]]. ETTRA is also involved in [[[a-study-in-cinnabar| pre-emptive operations]]], resolving previously overlooked problems through the [[[the-time-after-time-password-hub| innovative use of anomalous assets]]].

[[f>image https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/desk-of-junior-designer-s-yvonne/miscdept.png width="100px"]]

**Overview:** The Department of Miscommunications (DoMC) specialises in anomalies that manipulate language or communication in ways that make them difficult to accurately describe and contain. Existing at the convergence of memetics, antimemetics, linguistics, and metaphysics, the Department has the unenviable task of writing Special Containment Procedures for some of the Foundation's most perplexing anomalies.

**Overview:** The Department of Mythology and Folkloristics studies the role that the anomalous has played in the development of human culture, using this research to [[[SCP-6311| identify anomalies]]] and advise on [[[SCP-6193|potential containment methods]]]. The Department studies everything from ancient myths to urban legends, [[[SCP-6078| lost lands]]] to [[[SCP-6087|restless spirits]]], ensuring that insights into the anomalous found in folklore are integrated into the Foundation's body of knowledge, rather than being ignored or forgotten.

**Overview:** The Pataphysics Department ([[[scp-0166|also spelled]]] as [[[scp-4690| 'Pataphysics]]]) unites the fields of theoretical physics and literary analysis to study the extent to which [[[i-h-p-proposal| reality itself is fictional]]]. The department, operating out of [[[tight-bookshelves| Site-87]]] in [[[the-s-c-plastics-hub| Sloth's Pit]]], Wisconsin, is responsible for the containment of [[[scp-5500| narrative anomalies]]], as well as a number of [[[scp-6747| ambitious projects]]] that exploit the [[[scp-4410| nature of reality]]] in service to the [[[scp-cn-1109| Foundation's mission]]].

While the Pataphysics Department is as [[[scp-3143| fictitious as the anomalies it contains]]], a [[[never-metafictional-character-i-liked| compelling story]]] can take on a [[[a-failed-two-weeks-notice| life of its own]]].

**Overview:** [[[just-another-shop-that-wasn-t-there| Founded in 1979]]], the Department of Procurement and Liquidation exists to facilitate the purchase and disposal of anomalous objects and non-human entities through legitimate or semi-legitimate means. Although focusing on the acquisition, storage and (when appropriate) utilisation or destruction of [[[log-of-anomalous-items| anomalous items]]], the Department is also involved in the [[[scp-6237|hostile takeover of corporations]]] and [[[scp-6117| financial institutions]]] with connections to the anomalous. 

Operating internationally, the Department is headquartered in [[[secure-facility-dossier-site-106| Site-106]]] in Miami, Florida.

**Overview:** We at the Department of Surrealistics are dedicated to the identification and containment of anomalies that cannot be understood with traditional logic/left-braining. It was founded on October 35th, 1491 by an intelligent swarm of blue swallowtail butterflies-- and it’s all been downhill ever since, if you ask me.

The Department of Surrealistics utilizes [[[scp-4923 | agnostics]]] and up-brained thinking to better understand unreality. The Department of Surrealistics is headquartered in a meta-metaphysical space called [[[scp-6445 | Site-⌘]]]. The Department of Surrealistics dreams of you.

The Department is involved in the containment of anomalous items suspected to be [[[scp-4261| holy relics]]] and extranormal events believed to be [[[scp-4967| miracles]]], and also deals with [[[operation-heaving-spirit| paranormal cults]]] and Apex Tier Pluripotent Entities.

Headquartered in [[[secure-facility-dossier-reliquary-area-27| Reliquary Area-27]]] but operating worldwide, the Department has a diverse staff of theologians, clerics, and sceptics, with subdepartments specialising in different religious traditions.

**Overview:** The Telecommunications Monitoring Office (TMO) handles the Foundation's worldwide analysis and processing of information gathered from telephone calls. This includes the routine surveillance of calls made to emergency services in Facilities like [[[site-14-secure-facility-dossier| Site-14]]]. Although aided by algorithms sensitive to key words, the majority of the TMO's work involves human operators screening thousands of mostly mundane calls for any evidence of anomalous involvement.

**Overview:** The Temporal Anomalies Department deals with retrocausal, temporal, and counter-historical anomalies. The department is apparently a small subdivision of Research and Containment Team Δt (RCT-Δt), an agency that exists outside of the normal Foundation command structure. [[[scp-1780| At present]]] the department has not yet been founded, which means that RCT-Δt operatives have difficulty getting their credentials recognised by other Departments.

This is not a [[[departments-complete-list|full list of the Foundation's Departments]]], only a few of the most notable. It is open to new additions, but they must meet the minimum requirements.

To avoid overlap, Departments listed on this page can't also be listed on the [[[Groups Of Interest]]] or [[[task-forces| Mobile Task Forces]]] pages.
Departments on this list must either have a Department-specific Hub page or have their own tag. The only requirement for the Hub page is that it has to be positively rated, so it's best to wait a few days after posting before adding it to this list. While the Department hub page could also serve as a canon or tale series hub, it can't also be a Secure Facility Dossier, since there's already a [[[secure-facilities-locations| page for listing Sites and Areas]]].

If you want a tag for your department, you'll need to post on the tag approval thread, currently [/forum/t-14227350/tag-suggestion-thread-4:an-approval-for-crows this thread]. The requirement for a Group tag is currently 5 articles by 3 authors minimum, with a recommendation that you have 10 articles by 5 authors.

This page is the responsibility of the [http://05command.wikidot.com/curation-main Curation Team]. If you have any questions about this page or about adding a new department to it, contact staff via the #help-desk channel on the [https://discord.com/invite/scp SCP Wiki Official Discord server], or via [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/chat-guide IRC chat #site17], or by messaging a member of the Collaboration Pages subteam.
