National Intelligence Strategy of the United States of America [August 2009]
"The United States faces a complex and rapidly shifting international security landscape. Events at home and abroad move quickly, often in an interconnected fashion, driven by the pace of technological change and international communications. National security priorities adapt as rapidly as these events unfold. The Intelligence Community (IC) must keep a steady focus on enduring challenges in and among nation-states and persistent transnational issues, and also be agile in adapting to emerging threats and harnessing opportunities. The National Intelligence Strategy (NIS) sets out the following guiding principles: responsive and incisive understanding of global threats and opportunities, coupled with an agility that brings to bear the Community's capabilities. The 2009 NIS represents several advances in the Director of National Intelligence's (DNI) leadership of the National Intelligence Program (NIP) and the IC. It reflects a refined understanding of the counterterrorism challenge and elevates the importance of the challenges we face in the cyber domain and from counterintelligence threats. This NIS also affirms priorities to focus IC plans and actions for the next four years, while providing direction to guide development of future IC capabilities. The NIS highlights areas that demand our attention, resources, and commitment. It also establishes the basis for accountability, in conjunction with an implementation plan, to ensure that the Community meets the goals of our strategy."

Summary of 2016 Information Regarding United States Counterterrorism Strikes Outside Areas of Active Hostilities
"In accordance with Executive Order 13732, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is releasing [...] a summary of information provided to the DNI about both the number of strikes taken in 2016 by the U.S. Government against terrorist targets outside areas of active hostilities and the assessed number of combatant and non-combatant deaths resulting from those strikes. 'Areas of active hostilities' currently include Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. The assessment of non-combatant deaths provided to the DNI reflects consideration of credible reports of non-combatant deaths drawn from all-source information, including reports from the media and non-governmental organizations. The assessment of non-combatant deaths can include deaths for which there is an insufficient basis for assessing that the deceased is a combatant."

National Counterintelligence Strategy of the United States of America
"The nation's counterintelligence elements will operate as a unified, coherent community and will jointly conduct their activities consistent with their respective capabilities and authorities and according to the priorities established by the National Counterintelligence Executive (NCIX). [...] The United States faces a wide range of threats to its security from foreign intelligence activities, terrorist elements, and other non-traditional adversaries designed to achieve advantage over US military, diplomatic, and economic interests at home and abroad. The counterintelligence comm unity must act jointly to understand, confound, manipulate, and thwart these threats, which exceed the ability or resources of any single US agency or department to overcome. When necessary, we will disrupt these activities through arrest and expulsion. The counterintelligence community will therefore identify and prioritize adversarial intelligence activities targeting US interests and leverage its collection, analytical, investigative, and operational r e sources to defeat these activities. We will also expand our capabilities in cyberspace. The cyber environment provides unprecedented opportunities for adversarial activities and is particularly vulnerable because of the nation's heavy reliance on information systems. The counterintelligence community will exploit and defeat adversary intelligence activities through the application of the full range of intelligence techniques."

Complementary Efforts on Anomalous Health Incidents
From the Attribution: "The Experts Panel was asked to examine potential causal mechanisms for AHIs [Anomalous Health Incidents]. The panel was not asked to consider attribution. Earlier this month, the CIA shared Intelligence Community-coordinated analysis with interim findings on the specific question of whether a foreign actor is responsible for anomalous health incidents, assessing that U.S. adversaries are not engaged in a sustained global campaign involving hundreds of incidents to harm or collect intelligence on U.S. personnel - but continuing to investigate whether a foreign actor was involved in a subset of cases."

Annual Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community [February 2022]
From the Foreword: "In the coming year, the United States and its allies will face an increasingly complex and interconnected global security environment marked by the growing specter of great power competition and conflict, while collective, transnational threats to all nations and actors compete for our attention and finite resources. These challenges will play out amidst the continued global disruption resulting from the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, contention over global efforts to deal with a changing climate, increasingly powerful non-state actors, and rapidly evolving technology, all within the context of an evolving world order where the continued diffusion of power is leading actors to reassess their place and capabilities in an increasingly multipolar world. These challenges will intersect and interact in unpredictable ways, leading to mutually reinforcing effects that could challenge our ability to respond, but also introducing new opportunities to forge collective action with allies and partners against both the renewed threat of nation-state aggression and emerging threats to human security. The 2022 Annual Threat Assessment highlights some of those connections as it provides the Intelligence Community's (IC's) baseline assessments of the most pressing threats to U.S. national interests, while emphasizing the United States' key adversaries and competitors. It is not an exhaustive assessment of all global challenges and notably excludes assessments of U.S. adversaries' vulnerabilities. It accounts for functional concerns, such as weapons of mass destruction and cyber, primarily in the sections on threat actors, such as China and Russia."

2017 Insider Threat Guide: A Compendium of Best Practices to Accompany the National Insider Threat Minimum Standards
"More than five years have passed since Executive Order (E.O.) 13587 required executive branch departments and agencies (D/As) with access to classified information to implement an insider threat detection and prevention program. Since then, the executive branch has made considerable progress in meeting that goal. The White House Memorandum on 'National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards for Executive Branch Insider Threat Programs' (hereinafter 'Policy & Standards') laid out the twenty-six minimum standards that D/As are required to meet. The intent of this guide is to assist D/As in their implementation of these minimum standards. E.O.13587 also established the National Insider Threat Task Force (NITTF) to assist in the development of an Executive Branch-wide national insider threat program. In addition to developing the 'Policy & Standards,' the NITTF has become central to the continued maturation of the national insider threat community. The NITTF provides individualized technical and programmatic assistance to D/As, conducts training, disseminates best practices, and is championing the push to professionalize and standardize the insider threat career field. Perhaps most importantly, the NITTF is conducting independent assessments of D/A insider threat programs to gauge their implementation of the minimum standards. The knowledge gained from these assessments and community outreach efforts has informed much of this guide."

The statistics also add further context regarding the IC's rigorous and multi-layered oversight framework that safeguards the privacy of United States person (U.S. person or USP) information and non-U.S. persons' information acquired pursuant to these national security authorities. This report goes beyond the government's statutory duty of providing statistics by further providing the public with detailed explanations as to how the IC uses its national security authorities. This document should be read in conjunction with the national security-related materials that the government has already released publicly, especially the documents that have been highlighted through the hyperlinks embedded in this report, as well as the statistical report provided by the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (50 U.S.C. § 1873(a), available on the AOUSC website)."
