  Show summary     Open resource [html]     (open full abstract)

  "The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) is a coalition of 17 agencies and organizations within the executive branch that work both independently and collaboratively to gather the intelligence necessary to conduct foreign relations and national security activities. Our primary mission is to collect and convey the essential information the President and members of the policymaking, law enforcement, and military communities require to execute their appointed duties. [...] The U.S. Intelligence Community is "responsible for supplying accurate and usable information to those in charge of national security. The successful intelligence process converts acquired information into clear, comprehensible intelligence and delivers it to the President, policymakers, and military commanders in a form they can utilize to make educated policy decisions. Generating reliable, accurate intelligence is an active, never-ending process commonly referred to as the intelligence cycle." This site provides information on IC-related jobs across carious U.S. departments and agencies. It can be used to learn more about the Intelligence Community, Careers in Intelligence, and How to Apply.

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  The purpose of this standard is as follows: "(1) This Intelligence Community (IC) Directive (ICD) establishes overarching doctrine and policy of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and IC responsibilities concerning outreach to experts beyond the IC to support, improve, and enrich analysis. Analytic outreach is the open, overt, and deliberate act of an IC analyst engaging with an individual outside the IC to explore ideas and alternate perspectives, gain new insights, generate new knowledge, or obtain new information. It is conducted in accordance with fiscal, procurement, security, counterintelligence, operational and other laws, regulations, policies and procedures applicable to the IC and the analysts' individual organizations. (2) This ICD responds to recommendations in the 2005 report of the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States (U.S.) Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction. The report recommended that IC analysts broaden their information horizons by collaborating with individuals in academia, nongovernmental organizations, and business, and to the National Intelligence Strategy objective of drawing upon expertise wherever it resides to inform judgments. (3) This ICD directs the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analysis (DDNI/A), in collaboration with the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Collection (DDNI/C) and the Heads of all elements of the IC, to ensure that this policy is implemented effectively. (4). Sound intelligence analysis requires that analysts who are dealing with issues of concern network in the U.S. and internationally to develop trusted relationships. These trusted relationships could include, as appropriate, experts in academia; think tanks; industry; nongovernmental organizations; the scientific world (e.g., U.S. government laboratories, national academies, national research councils, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers); state, local, and tribal governments; other non-Intelligence Community U.S. government agencies; and elsewhere. These communities allow the IC to expand its knowledge base, share burdens, challenge assumptions and cultural biases, and encourage innovative thinking."

  "This report covers the data mining activities of all elements of the ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] from February 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Constituent elements of the Intelligence Community (IC) are reporting their data mining activities to Congress through their own departments of agencies. Last year's ODNI data mining report detailed a single ongoing effort within the 'Incisive Analysis' Office in the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) that included research of general-purpose techniques that could, among other things, be applied to data mining. That program, the Video Analysis and Content Extraction (VACE) program, ended in September 2009. Details on the completed VACE program are included in an appendix to this report. This year's report includes details on two new IARPA programs, the Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination (KDD) program and the Automated Low-level Analysis and Description of Diverse Intelligence Video (ALADDIN Video) program. Both programs were in formulation during 2009. Once again, although neither program is a data mining program, technologies developed by the programs could potentially be used to support data mining and therefore they are being included in this report. We also provide an update on a privacy protection program noted in last year's data mining report.

• Reforming Intelligence: The Passage of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  This report analyzes the history behind the passing of the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. "The United States Government seized its biggest opportunity to restructure the Intelligence Community in almost 60 years by passing the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. Proponents of the new act believed that only significant reform could address problems such as the inability of the Intelligence Community (IC) to detect and prevent the attacks on 11 September 2001 or to assess accurately Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program. The new act created a Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to oversee the community's 15 components, at the time, and sought to settle debates that had raged in Washington for decades. But the shock of 9/11 and the war in Iraq finally created a unique sense of urgency. 'We have come together with a unity of purpose because our nation demands it,' stated the preface to the '9/11 Commission Report,' and instant best seller when released in July 2004. That landmark report set in motion the events that led to the passage of the act and served as a capstone to events of the precious three years--stalled bills on Capitol Hill, congressional inquiries, a close presidential election, blue-ribbon inquiries, and an active public discourse. Commission members and legislation supporters hoped that major intelligence reform would address institutional obstacles that had complicated the IC's struggles to adapt to new technologies and a changing national security environment. The new act would redraw boundaries between foreign and domestic intelligence, set new rules for intelligence and law enforcement, enhance the interplay between civilian and military intelligence, correct the shortfall in information sharing, and meet the needs of traditional and emergent intelligence functions. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), however, almost never happened. Here is the story of how it did."

• Domestic Approach to National Intelligence

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "This paper, the 'Domestic Approach to National Intelligence', describes certain key roles and relationships that characterize efforts by members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and federal, state, local, tribal and territorial (FSLTT) government organizations to engage with one another to carry out the shared mission of protecting the homeland. These partners work with one another, and through established channels with the private sector (e.g., critical infrastructure owners and operators), as part of a complex web of relationships. Each partner, regardless of level, plays an important role in protecting the homeland with respect to warning, interdiction, prevention, mitigation, and response. The importance of partnerships and collaboration is emphasized in this paper, as is the IC's responsibility to the public to protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. Descriptions related to organizational responsibilities and/or authorities are provided by the respective agencies. The 'Domestic Approach to National Intelligence' is consistent with the framework and recommendations outlined in the Criminal Intelligence Coordinating Council's (CICC) National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan, the strategies in support of the National Network of Fusion Centers, and information sharing and safeguarding standards outlined by the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE). By describing these roles and relationships in one place, this paper strives to foster an important national dialogue that will promote a better understanding of how the IC engages with key partners in this domestic enterprise and supports the holistic ideals articulated by the Director of National intelligence (DNI)."

• Annual Demographic Report: Hiring and Retention of Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities in the United States Intelligence Community Fiscal Year 2016

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "The Annual Demographic Report on Hiring and Retention of Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities in the United States Intelligence Community examines workforce demographics relating to civilian employees in all 17 elements of the U.S. Intelligence Community [IC]. It highlights progress the IC has made in increasing diversity and illustrates the IC's continued investment in strengthening the talent and diversity of the workforce through innovative and broad-based inclusion initiatives. The October 5, 2016 Presidential Memorandum (PM) titled Promoting Diversity and Inclusion in the National Security Workforce stated that 'We have made important progress toward harnessing the extraordinary range of backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, skills, and experiences…[however] agencies in this workforce are less diverse on average than the rest of the Federal Government.' The IC recognizes the importance of having a diverse workforce to ensure it both performs at its best and maintains the confidence of the American people. We live in an increasingly complex and interconnected world in which 'unpredictable instability' is the new normal. Both at home and abroad, the United States faces such diverse national security threats such as terrorism, cyberattacks, drug trafficking, political instability, nuclear proliferation, disease outbreaks, space competition, and much more. Countering such diverse threats requires a creative and dynamic IC capable of collecting and providing nuanced, multidisciplinary intelligence to policymakers, military personnel, and law enforcement officials alike to successfully protect American lives and interests around the world. Indeed, one of the IC's enterprise objectives is to 'build a more agile, diverse, inclusive, and expert workforce.'"
