DXS

DXS

The DXS, or Department of External Services, is a department of the federal government that deals with such issues as international relations and espionage.

Pete Thornton worked for the DXS for a number of years, and he was eventually promoted to Executive Director of Operations before taking a position with the Phoenix Foundation. For a time, MacGyver was a DXS operative, identification number X-C 4479, serving under Pete Thornton, but his position was only part time, and he had a special contract that specifically stated that he would take only those jobs that he wanted to take. MacGyver also carried out missions under the direction of Barney, who may have also worked for the DXS, although Barney referred to his office simply as "The Department."

The DXS offices are located in the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles.
