From the introduction: The Corporation of Occult Research and Extermination is an attempt by the US government to develop and exert influence in the moonlit world, protect American citizens from supernatural threats, and help maintain the masquerade that allows ordinary people to go about their daily lives. Though only just created, C.O.R.E. and its sister organization, the CSG, will eventually take the North American continent from its current status as a mystical backwater, where true threats and power are scarce and any supernatural being can operate as they please without issue, into a major contender, securing humanity as a powerful faction in supernatural struggles and bringing liberty and justice to non-human citizens of the USA in a big way.
