National Counterintelligence Strategy of the United States of America, 2009   [open pdf - 2MB]

"Strategy development is an ever-evolving and active process that ensures countries, institutions, and private industry look toward the future, provides direction, and sets appropriate goals and objectives. As the National Counterintelligence Executive (NCIX), I am charged with producing the National Counterintelligence Strategy of the United States of America (Strategy) on an annual basis. This Strategy provides strategic direction and guidance for counterintelligence activities of the United States Government to include the Intelligence Community. Upon review of the Strategy, I have determined that the current mission and enterprise objectives are consistent with the 2009 National Intelligence Strategy (NIS), which for the first time, includes a mission objective for counterintelligence. The inclusion of the counterintelligence mission objective in the NIS reinforces the Director of National Intelligence's position that counterintelligence is a critical mission of the Intelligence Enterprise."
