I learned that the NCTC is more of a support branch to all the federal agencies. They work with places such as the CIA, FBI, DoD, DoS, and other federal agencies working on things such as the terrorist watch list as well as monitors for known and suspected terrorists. Since I want more of a hands on job I'm not sure if I still want to pursue the NCTC over the other federal agencies. Right now the NCTC says the closest operational part of Counter-Terrorism is working with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. This means I should start researching the Joint Terrorism Task Force and consider a career in that field. Overall, I want to work in a career where I'm the one conducting operations rather than filling out paperwork from a desk. Ideally I want to work in Counter-Insurrectionism, Counter-Terrorism, or Hostage Rescue. I'm not sure where the Joint Terrorism Task Force will fall into those categories, but that's what research is for.
