Task Force X

The OSS was dissolved in October 1945 and replaced in 1946 by the CIA. In 1951, seeking to fill the void left by the retired Justice Society of America, President Harry S. Truman created Task Force X. The Task Force had a military and a civilian branch. The military branch called the Suicide Squad was put under the command by General J.E.B. Stuart, who was later succeeded by Rick Flag. The civilian branch called Argent was headed by a former OSS chief known only as Control. Many years later, it was revealed through a conflict with Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad that Control had died and his granddaughter was covertly leading the now-small underground organization.
