Department of interstellar defense (or some fancy acronym like SHIELD)
This is a militarized branch that specifically deals with the defense of earth, seeking out potential threats and eliminating them, and ensuring extremely dangerous technology (anything stargate) does not fall in the wrong hands.
Department of interstellar relations. (or fancy name)
Civil department that i'd call the Daniel Jackson department: dealing with archaeology, trade, cultural exchange and humanitarian (and alien) help.

Well I think that an organization like SHIELD could definetly handle it. But when things get militarized and ran by the military they always think of worst case scenarios and lets destroy this and this and some of them are a little paranoid which is why Dr. Elizabeth Weir was good for the job. She was a level headed person and didn't just jump to conclusions, she actually thought stuff out and provided rational solutions. Sure the Generals in Stargate were great and didn't just jump to yeah lets destroy them, besides the movie of course where they were very paranoid.
NID could've handled it but they were rogue and not very good for the job, but if they were more like Agent Barrett then they'd be fine, but they'd end up being more like Colonel Maybourne.
I didn't personally like the IOA, they were awful and well awful period. They completely screwed up in many cases especially in the movie, Ark of Truth. I think they'd be better off listening to the Pentagon and White House over the IOA. I like the international aspect and them working together after all we do share the same planet, but making choices for SG-1 I don't get, Atlantis I do get since well it is comprised of many personnel from many different nations. Woolsey wanted to kill Daniel when he was a Prior but sure lets let the son of Anubis live, even though in that case it was reversed and Daniel was more dangerous with his abilities, he was never really a Prior, Merlin was.
Enough of me rambling but I had to voice my frustration on the IOA and rogue NID.

1: No, not Kevin.
2: Submarines also operate in three dimensions but they have far less manoeuvrability.
3: The other branches of the US Military also operate aircraft, but they don't have "Air" in the name so there!Last edited by Britta; 05 November 2014, 10:51 AM.
