The Agency

The Agency is the unknown branch of the United States government that regularly sends Dick and Johnson on their missions to save the country or the world from supervillains, typically via the Chief.

Since the Chief's office is shown to be at the Pentagon on one occasion, the Agency is most likely under the supervision of the Department of Defense and as such may be the Army, Navy, Air Force, or a subsidiary of any of these. Operating mostly with individual, often undercover, and also civilian agents, the Agency may also be an intelligence agency, military or civilian, such as the CIA.

On Dick and Johnson's first mission for the government they — and their classmate Tallulah— were briefed by the Chief on an army base. During their mission to save the kidnapped president, Dick and Johnson were briefed by the head of the Secret Service (though he also turned out to be the villain who had orchestrated the kidnapping). Dick and Johnson also claim to be official members of the MiB, though this may be out of the series' canon.

After failing a blind test by the Agency, Dick and Johnson quit, despite Rhonda Munch, member of the Agency's HR department, stating that it would constitute a breach of their contract and hinting at such a breach resulting in their execution. The Chief, however, allows the two to go their own way, most likely trusting that they would return in time.
