Strategic Support Branch

Strategic Support Branch (SSB) er angivelig en hemmelig avdeling i den amerikanske etterretningsetaten Defense Intelligence Agency som er beskjeftiget med menneskelig etterretning. Avdelingen ble beskrevet i en artikkel i «The Washington Post» 23. januar 2005. SSB skal ha blitt opprettet i 2002 av forsvarsminister Donald Rumsfeld for å gi forsvarsdepartementet større kontroll over etterretningsoperasjoner på bekostning av CIA.
