Defense Intelligence Agency’s Post

Mission above everything

Today marks the anniversary of President Harry S. Truman enacting the transformative National Security Act of 1947. Over the past 77 years, this pivotal legislation has laid the foundation for the contemporary intelligence community, resulting in the creation of essential agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA). In the years since, the landscape of national defense has evolved significantly. The establishment of U.S. Cyber Command in 2009 marked a new era in which cyberspace became a critical domain of warfare. This led to the formation of specialized units within the Air National Guard, focused on both offensive and defensive cyberspace operations. Intelligence, information sharing, and collaborative efforts play a crucial role in offensive and defensive cyberspace operations and cybersecurity, enabling us to anticipate, detect, and counteract cyber threats effectively. The intelligence community and its products ensure that we stay ahead of adversaries, protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining the integrity of our digital landscape. If you're interested in joining the National Guard Bureau intelligence/cyberspace units and contributing to this vital mission, visit: Air National Guard Recruiting. Your skills and passion can make a difference to homeland defense, cyber mission forces taskings, and state partnership efforts.

NSA official is expected pick for Marines information job, as Corps handles backlog of leadership moves. Why it matters: 1. Maj. Gen. Melvin “Jerry” Carter's potential appointment as the U.S. Marine Corps' Deputy Commandant for Information carries significance - he'd lead the development of policies and strategies on information usage, crucial amid growing cyber threats. 2. Carter’s role could rectify the backlog of appointments in the Marine Corps’ digital missions, created by Senator Tuberville's protracted blockade of Defense Department nominations - a blockade that affected senior military positions and left the Corps grappling with delays. 3. His appointment, if confirmed, would break tradition as Carter would be the first DCI not to have previously led the service's digital warfighting branch, illustrating a potential shift in strategic IC priorities.
