Also known as the Joint Services Group. New name for the agent-handling unit formerly known as the Force Research Unit.

Iraq

THE most secret military unit serving in Northern Ireland is to be pulled out of the Province and posted to Iraq and to other operational missions overseas.
The Joint Support Group (JSG), which runs agents under the control of the Intelligence Corps, is one of a number of units expected to leave Belfast as part of the “normalisation process” under which the Government plans to cut troop levels by more than half to about 5,000. [1]

Task Force Black

According to the Daily Telegraph, members of the JSG worked alongside the Special Air Service and Delta Force in Baghdad as part of a group called Task Force Black.[2]
