[edit] Movies
Operation Treadstone was a top secret CIA black ops program which recruited only U.S. Service members to turn them into assassins.[1] It was formed in direct response to the Congressional Act which banned the U.S. from partaking in any assassinations. It used a behavior-modification program to break down the assassins' morality and make them effective killing machines. After the morality break down, presumably, the assassins recieved advanced training in sniping, hand to hand combat, and tradecraft. The last surviving member of Treadstone is Jason Bourne.[2] It had a successor, which was Operation Blackbriar.[3]
Due to the stringent and experimental training program, operatives were recorded to have experienced a number of physical problems. These include chronic headaches, fatigue, and sensitivity to light. Operative Jason Bourne was the only one to experience amnesia.
