The Strategic Scientific Reserve (S.S.R.) was the top secret Allied war agency during World War II. It continues today as the scientific division of S.H.I.E.L.D.

BIO: Captain America First Vengence (comic book)
The Strategic Scientific Reserve was formed in 1940 on the orders of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Though the United States weren't directly involved in World War II at the time, Roosevelt knew that such situation was only temporary, because Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich were the greatest threat to the free world.33The commanding officer of the S.S.R. was Colonel Chester Phillips. The same year when the SSR was formed, he persuaded the American industrialist Howard Stark to join the agency, after the group of assassins sent by HYDRA, Hitler's special weapons division, tried to kill them both. Shortly after, they organized the rescue of Abraham Erskine from Castle Kaufmann where he was being held by Johann Schmidt, the commanding officer of HYDRA. Phillips sent one of his best agents, Peggy Carter, to secure Erskine's release.

The S.S.R. was formed of greatest minds of the Allied nations who assembled to battle the Nazis in occupied Europe. The goal of the S.S.R. was to create an army of super soldiers that could defeat anything the Axis powers had on the battlefield. This led to the Project Rebirth based on the work of their newest acquisition, Erskine, and transformation of Steve Rogers into Captain America.33After Abraham Erskine was killed by Heinz Kruger, the top priority mission of the S.S.R. was to take down HYDRA33In November 1943, several members of the S.S.R. were in Italy. When Steve Rogers discovered that his friend Bucky Barnes was captured by HYDRA, he flew behind enemy lines and led a successful escape of prisoners from the HYDRA factory in Austria.33In 1945, the efforts of the S.S.R. were successful. HYDRA was destroyed, and the Axis powers defeated.
