I guess an agent working for the United States goverment would have to sign Form SF-312.

Field agent is sent on field missions.

Some United States national security buildings are contained in Faraday cages, intended to act as a TEMPEST shield, and possibly also as a mitigation against electromagnetic pulse.

If he is captured and interrogated, he will not admit that he work for his agency. If an agent is captured, hes goverment/agency/contractor might deny his existence or any association with him?

Fictional agent Sydney Bristow has on many occasions weared a wig.

Is trained in martial arts? like maybe Krav Maga, Defendu, Defendo, Close Quarters Combat (CQC) ?

Maybe have a camera? Maybe he have a gas mask?

Is an "operative" the same thing as field agent? if not whats difference?

Missions

What does he do on his missions? assassination? surveillance? infiltration?

Field agent and NOC

How to tell the difference between them? It sounds same to me.

I think it is the same, but I am not entirely sure. -- Frap 09:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. A field agent is a job, occupation, profession etc.. Non-official cover is just a term. A field agent will be under an NOC, for example. Seriphyn 16:26, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since you seem to know something, maybe you could improve the article, else it maybe sucks so much we should delete it? i don't know! -- Frap 19:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm flattered lol, but, the knowledge is just layman's really. I'm lost as much as you are on how we could improve this, though I think it addresses the point already. Perhaps some examples of field agents in media couldn't go amiss however. Seriphyn 17:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-FIELD AGENTS MAKE ABOUT 2.6 MILLION A YEAR.

Edit

I edited the last sentence, which says that the FBI is a well known agency which deploys field agents. I am delteing this, because the FBI is not involved in any spy activity, which this article falls under. The FBI does not employ spies of any kind. Their Special Agents may be under cover, but this does not make them a spy, since they only work undercover on criminal cases. Spies, on the other hand, only obtain information or work in terrorism or counter terrorism activities. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but basically FBI Special Agent--Operates on American Soil or as a Liason to another agency. Never works undercover in another country, without that countries approval and oversight. A spy howver operates free from control of any other agency or government, and works to obtain information, assasinate people, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.126.168.158 (talk) 19:01, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
