Did Avengers Infinity War introduce S.W.O.R.D.?

*** Spoiler Warning***

Well... kind of...

If you have not seen Avenger's Infinity War I would suggest you do not read this blog.

Okay...

Everyone still here has seen the movie so I am wondering if the post credit seen was just a tease of Captain Marvel or could it also have a bigger meaning. Did we just get introduced to S.W.O.R.D.?

S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department) is a fictional counter-terrorism and intelligence agency appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Its purpose is to deal with extraterrestrial threats to world security. (From Wikipedia)

Thanos would definitely fit within their job-description and be a neat addition to the next phase of the MCU.

If it was a call to S.W.O.R.D. it does raise a few questions.

1. Where have they been?
2. Why didn't they respond to the Chitauri invasion? (or did they?)
3. What is their relationship with Shield?
4. What is Captain Marvel's role with the organization?

I am very excited for the MCU to introduce Carol Danvers. She is a game-changer and hopefully she is bringing along with her the entire might of S.W.O.R.D. to reign down fire on Thanos and help restore order to the universe.
