Op 40


 * For the Campaign level, see "Operation 40."

Operation 40 is a CIA-backed faction in Call of Duty: Black Ops, comparable to the Studies and Observations Group. They appear in one mission, also called "Operation 40," and are a faction in multiplayer.

The faction's role in the campaign is mostly focused on the insurrection in Cuba and the planned assassination of Fidel Castro. However, Intel reports show that Op 40 included an active recruitment drive to find suitable members for later black operations.
