DIA And The Military Services: A Case Study

     The CIA is one of the U.S. foreign inteligency agencies, responsible for getting and analyzing information about foreign government, corporations, individuals, and reporting such information to the various branches of the U.S. government. The State Department's Bureau or inteligence and reserch and theDefense Department'sdefense inteligence agency comprise the other two. Its headquarters is inLangley, Virginia, across the Potomac River from D.C. The Agency, created in 1947 by President Harry S. Trueman, is a descendant of the Office of stratigic Services(OSS) of World War 2. The OSS was dissolved in October 1945 but

Since the inception of the United States of America 250 years ago, our government has enacted a practice of lies and deceit that keep its citizens in the dark. Matters such as false allegations that result in long standing wars, financial misuse and abuse, secret alliances that serve the government agenda's, and the altering of history affect not only the US citizens, it affects the global population as a whole. This deception has resulted in mistrust of the US Government as people question what our government is up to and what they are seeking to gain. In order to earn the public's trust, the United States Government needs to be transparent with its citizens, giving us the information whether it's positive or negative instead of allowing

Question #1 – Describe two process differences between the National Intelligence Program (NIP) and the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). Which budget funds the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP)? Briefly describe the DNI’s budget “hammer” over the IC.

The DNI has modestly more power than the old Directors of Central Intelligence (DCIs), but not enough to give the ODNI/AIS real clout. “Herding cats” remains a decent description of the ODNI’s basic role. The DNI has several duties and responsibilities, but for the subject of improving intelligence information sharing the focus will be directed towards: Improving Analytics, Improving Information Security, Improving Foreign Liaison Relationships, and the end state of Improving Information Sharing.

Intelligence analysts in the IC, DHS, and FBI are tasked with the primary responsibility of developing threat assessments against the United States and national critical infrastructure. The

The other two main intelligence agencies are the FBI and NSA. The FBI is more concerned with domestic for the United States issues, whereas the NSA is more specialized in the gathering and analysis of information, which was exemplified with the surveillance scandal couple of years ago.

DNI Negroponte stated “The aim was to direct the required changes in intelligence practices but to accomplish that goal by empowering the intelligence agencies themselves to help lead the reform agenda.” Taking this approach Negroponte was able to mitigate the inherent weakness of his position by reaching out to the various agencies and getting them to advance his agenda. One of the ways he did this was by overhauling the President’s Daily Brief (PDB), the DNI “changed the process to ensure multiple intelligence agencies contributed to the PDB, which fostered collaboration, distributed the daily production burden, and encouraged agencies not accustomed to writing for the Oval Office to improve the quality of their product.” Moreover, Negroponte leveraged his direct access to the president in the PDB to continue to effect reform in the IC. “All of these meetings with the President reinforced and often drove the DNI’s intelligence reform

AEY started out as a legitimate company but then things went wrong. Department of Defense vs. AEY. This type of crime was a crime against the government. AEY was owned by 21 year old Efraim Diveroli and 25 year old David Packouz. Efraim Diveroli was always part of the arms deals but David Packouz was a former masseur before he became an arms dealer. They first started selling arms to other dealers and then moved on to government contracts. One of their first government contracts was the beretta deal. The US military in Iraq needed 10,000 shipments of berettas. They filled the order but couldn't deliver because of the some act italy made to stop sending guns to the US military. So Efraim told them that the some of the guns were lost to a plane

The agencies that report to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are the: Central Intelligence

According to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the DNI’s duties consist of establishing objectives and priorities for collection, analysis, production, and dissemination of national intelligence; Ensuring maximum availability of and access to intelligence information with the IC; Overseeing coordination of relationships with the intelligence and security services of foreign governments as well as international organizations; Ensuring the most accurate analysis of intelligence is derived from all sources to support national security needs; Developing personnel policies to enhance joint operations and to facilitate staffing of community management functions; Ensuring that timely and objective national intelligence is

The Central Intelligence Agency’s five directorates are, “the Directorate of Operations, the Directorate of Analysis, the Directorate of Science & Technology, the Directorate of Support, and the Directorate of Digital Innovation” (Central Intelligence Agency, 2015). The Directorate of Operations (DO) it the secret management arm of the CIA; they collect intelligence and inform officials in the military and in government. The Directorate of Analysis (DA) is the research and examination arm of the CIA; they analyze issues and write reports based on the information. The Directorate of Science & Technology (DS&T) is the technological arm of the CIA; they use advanced technology to collect and process information. The Directorate of Support (DS)

spying on Islamist militants). According to another source, even today, DIA provides important information on foreign military intelligence, political assessments, troop movement, weapons distribution, military capabilities, diplomatic changes, economic issues, and more. These informations are distributed to policymakers, defense officials, combat commanders, and others in the intelligence community and thus, U.S. foreign policies are drafted. While talking about the DIA’s oversight, as one news source says, the DIA congressional oversight sight is difficult as DIA activities are controlled by Pentagon. Like CIA, which acts on its own without congressional knowledge or approval, DIA is the second one to act on its free will. Lack of budget maybe there, congressional oversight may not exist--DIA however still carries a significant meaning and plays an important role in the US national security even today. The Tet Offensive in Vietnam, the taking of American hostages in Iran, the overthrow of Idi Amin in Uganda, and North Korea’s nuclear proliferation are some few examples that speaks great volume about DIA being important, not redundant. It is said the Defense Department planned to expand its DIA operatives to 1,600 people and go beyond from DIA’s intelligence gathering to covert operations as well. The Obama administration’s consideration, which came out in recent years (according to the

The German intelligence agencies roots go back to the days of the Abwehr when Germany had the most sophisticated intelligence and counter-intelligence agency in the world prior to the start of WWI. Today German intelligence agencies are split into four different agencies with some overlapping responsibilities and missions. The largest of these is the Federal Intelligence Service (Bundesnachrichtendienst). The BDN acts as an early warning to alert German officials of potential threats from abroad. Since it is Germany’s only overseas intelligence agency it collects on military and civilian interest. It often shares information and works closely with the KSA, Strategic Reconnaissance Command, on those missions. Its primary missions are to collect and analyze data on terrorists, WMD’s, drug and weapon trafficking, illegal migration and information warfare. The BDN has a $615 million Euro budget and has 6500 employees. The agency is one of the best and most effective intelligence agencies in the world.

intelligence, he briefs the President, has authority to develop the budget for the national intelligence effort and manage appropriations made by Congress, and, to some extent, can transfer personnel and funds from one agency to another.3 I believe that the creation of the DNI position had been on the table for a few years, but the intelligence failures of communication between the agencies and being able to connect the dots to see the events leading up to 9/11 was the last drop in the bucket. I do not think that this organization has worked out all there kinks along with the other organizations in the Intelligence Community completely being open with them, however, I do feel that their roles and placement in the chain is a much needed

The NSA, National Security Agency, is the largest manager of United States intelligence in the
