Film:
* Division in all iterations of ''Film/{{Nikita}}'', including [[LaFemmeNikita the two]] [[Series/{{Nikita}} TV series]], is a black-ops program for assassination and counterintelligence that does not officially exist.  Which has allowed the program's leader to turn it into a work-for-hire operation that the government can't shut down.

Literature:
* The Rainbow counterterror unit in the TomClancy book and video game series ''RainbowSix''.  Officially all its operations were performed by special forces units loyal to the country they occurred in.  Though by the later [[Literature/JackRyan Ryanverse]] novel ''Literature/TeethOfTheTiger'', Rainbow has apparently become an open secret in the government.

VideoGames:
* ''VideoGame/{{Section 8}}: Prejudice'' introduces a unit called the Spear which serves as the game's BigBad.  [[spoiler:It was an elite paramilitary unit intended to exterminate any alien life that could be an obstacle to human colonies (read:  all of it), but its leadership began to get mentally unstable (partly from remorse) and they were disavowed and ordered destroyed by USIF regulars.  They've come back for revenge.]]
