CIA missions, e.g. (3)

I believe the answer is:

ops

(Other definitions for ops that I've seen before include "Military operations" , "jobs in the theatre" , "Operations (abbrev.)" , "Military manoeuvres (abbr)" , "Military (or surgical) procedures" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
