Mission Report: 15899, Addendum E-Rec
Filed By: Coulson, Philip J. VI-619 Lvl 7
Date of File: 07182007
Date of Mission: 06122007-06192007
Location: [Redacted]
Personel:
Coulson, Philip J. VI-619 [Primary]
Barton, Clinton F. RO-919 [Secondary]
Mission Objectives:
Primary: Contact [Redacted], representative of [Redacted]. Negotiate regional operating parameters with regard to S.H.I.E.L.D. presence in [Redacted]. Focus of salvage rights in case of [Redacted]. [See file IR-16741]
Secondary: Evaluate field behavior of junior agent “Clint” Barton, codename: Hawkeye. [See file PD-447 G-IA] Assess suitability as field agent and advise on future assignment. [See file I-05042012, Addendum A-Rec: RO-919]
For full account of mission see file MR-15899, primary report.
Evaluation:
With regard to the primary mission objective, it is my informed opinion that the current government of [Redacted] will not be amenable to overtures of cooperation and may react with hostility to any contact from S.H.I.E.L.D. or affiliated organizations.
Recommendation: Withdraw. Do not pursue further action. Re-evaluate as situation develops.
With regard to the secondary mission objective, it is my informed opinion that prior evaluations of Agent Barton’s character, attitude, and interpersonal tendencies have been the result of ignorance and false conclusions and should be disregarded in their entirety. [See file PD-447, Addendums DC-5352, DC-272, DC-3924, DC-1083, DC-1754, DC-988, and DC-1973] Based on personal observation, I believe that Agent Barton is possessed of a generally positive, if reserved, attitude, an admirable attention to detail, and intense loyalty. I suspect that what prior reports described as “insubordination” is, in fact, an undeveloped strategic aptitude and a lack of focus. Barton has openly expressed an inclination to resist orders which he feels may be morally suspect, but I believe, without reservation, that this should be considered a strength. Agent Barton demonstrated commendable resourcefulness and resilience, as well as a willingness to place the security of S.H.I.E.L.D. above personal safety. Taking into account extensive documentation of his conflicts with fellow junior agents [See file PD-447, Addendums DC-5352, DC-1083, DC-1754, DC-2082, DC-2841, DC-20270, and DC-17112] it is my professional opinion, at this juncture, that Agent Barton would better serve S.H.I.E.L.D. as a specialist asset, rather than a traditional field agent. I will add that, based on existing documentation and my personal observations, I would not hesitate to trust Agent Barton with my life in any situation.
In the interest of full disclosure, I will submit a caveat with regard to my personal relationship with Agent Barton. Specifically, I acknowledge that my actions in the course of this mission [See file MR-15899] exceeded necessary professional loyalty and were likely driven by an intense personal attachment to Agent Barton himself. I am confident that this attachment will not in any way interfere with my judgment in the field or my ability to carry out my duties as a senior agent. If anything, I believe that the rapport between Agent Barton and myself may contribute to the establishment of a more effective working relationship. I wish to maintain professional transparency as I am given to understand that Agent Barton and myself are of a like mind on this matter and that a more intimate involvement may develop in the future.
Recommendation: Assign dedicated handler. Redirect to specialized missions. Include in future developments re: Avengers Initiative.
