SUBJECT: Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Force Structure (U)

1. (U) Purpose: Provide an overview of DIA's force structure from the FY 1991 post cold war period through FY 1999 Program years.

2. Major Points:

• DIA is a fully integrated military-civilian combat support agency as designated in the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986.

• Current authorized manpower is distributed by principal functions as follows:

-- Direct Policy and Military Operations support .... --- Military Intelligence Analysis Production .... --- HUMINT and Other Intelligence Collections .... --- Information Processing ................ -- The Defense Intelligence College ................ -- Facility Operations and Support Activities............ -- Management and Oversight............................ -- OSD-Level Support Activities Assigned by SECDEF......... TOTAL...............................................100%

• The DIA Personnel Workforce:

-- The four military Services provide 30 percent of all manpower. Most are used for intelligence production and collection activities, with military being essential for attache' operations. The military work force constantly changes due to the normal recurring reassignment of military personnel.

-- The civilian work force complements the military work force and provides continuity. Seventy-eight percent of DIA civilians hold bachelor degrees; 30 percent hold masters or higher level degrees.

-- The current civilian work force reflects a background normally expected in a highly professional research environment, depicted at enclosure. Currently, DIA has an aggressive minority recruiting strategy in place to bring the work force composition more in line with national population statistics.

-- Geographically, positions are located as follows:

-- At DIA's primary Washington, D.C., locations at the Pentagon, Bolling Air Force Base, and at 3100 Clarendon, Arlington.

-- Other Washington, D.C., area locations, for example, Forts Detrick and Meade in Maryland, the Washington Navy Yard, and the White House.

-- At the Missile and Space Intelligence Center in Huntsville, Al.

[illegible] Various CONUS locations, mostly with the joint military commands.

[illegible] Overseas; 97 percent are in the DAS.

• During this period of drawdown, DIA's mission is being expanded in such areas as management of all defense HUMINT; oversight for two major Military Scientific & Technical Intelligence Centers; new OSD and joint operational support activities; and trans-national missions such as counternarcotics, counterterrorism, and arms control.

23 November 1992

Subject: Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Budget (U)

1. (U) Purpose: Provide an overview of DIA resources with emphasis on budget and budget issues.

2. Major Points:
[illegible]

b. (U) DIA's budget, which is 3.4 percent of the total DOD Defense Agencies FY 1993 budget, pays for operations in the Washington DC area, in Alabama, and at 96 Defense Attache Offices (of 99 authorized) in U.S. embassies overseas.

c. (U) Functionally, the budget is allocated to:

-- Direct policy, weapons development, and military operations intelligence:

- Military intelligence analysis and production .

- HUMINT and other intelligence collection

- Information processing

-- The Defense Intelligence College

-- Facilities and related "care and feeding"

-- Management and oversight

-- OSD-level support activities assigned by SECDEF

Total
100 %

d. (U) Salient budget characteristics:

-- About 12 cents of each dollar DIA receives pays for capital equipment replacement and research and development.

-- About 55 cents of each dollar -- the largest share -- is for pay because intelligence production and HUMINT collection are manpower intensive.

-- The remaining 33 cents of each dollar pays for facilities and operations here and overseas, including the sophisticated processing and
[illegible]

information systems operations without which analysts and collectors could not do their jobs nor could DIA disseminate or store collected information and intelligence.

-- Budget reductions for DIA will invariably mean manpower reductions because of the total funds devoted to paying people, housing them, and providing them with the information processing tools used to do their jobs. Intelligence is inherently manpower intensive.

e. (U) DIA's high fixed costs for pay and operations include a number of services of common concern not done elsewhere, for example:

-- Operating the Defense Attache System, which eliminates the separate duplicate support structures that were required when each Service operated its own attache offices.

-- Maintaining the US government's historical archive of all aerial photography taken overseas.

-- Providing all sensitive intelligence communications support for activities in the Pentagon.

-- Supporting such organizations as OSD/C3I's Intelligence Program Support Group, the Central Imagery Office, and the Central Documentation Office.

3. (U) Issue: Why can't DIA reduce its facilities and operations costs?

a. Because these costs are directly tied to operating over 100 locations where people collect or produce intelligence.

b. Facilities and operations costs can be reduced only by cutting missions and the people who do them.

1 Enclosure Budget Allocation Chart

• DIA Support for POW/MIA Issues will continue in coming years but recent breakthroughs will require more emphasis on conventional, open-source research.

-- DIA has executive responsibility to pursue intelligence on the POW/MIA issue. Within DIA, the Special Office for Prisoners of War (PW) and Missing in Action (MIA) is tasked with that responsibility; 60 personnel are assigned to this office. Agency analysis of POW-MIA related intelligence is routinely used by the U.S. Government policy community as a basis for policy decisions.

-- DIA provides full support for the field activities of the Joint Task Force - Full Accounting, CINCPAC, in its efforts to provide the fullest- accounting of the 2,264 unaccounted for U.S. servicemen. The CINCPAC plan of operations, which intends to investigate each of these cases on the ground, is expected to take at least three to four years.

-- DIA analysts are a part of U.S. teams in Hanoi who are currently reviewing data, captured materials, and photographs in Vietnamese archives for information related to missing Americans. The DIA Special Office analyzes the data found by these archival research teams. Recent Vietnamese estimates of their archival holdings indicate more than 1.6 million potentially MIA related artifacts.

[handwritten arrow pointing left] [A]

-- DIA responds regularly to several Congressional oversight committees, most recently, the Senate Select Committee on POW-MIA. It also provides special analytical support to help MIA families understand the fate of their missing men.

-- DIA efforts to provide the fullest accounting of our missing U.S. servicemen and to normalize this painful issue for our country remains one of the most significant issues facing the Agency.

SUBJECT: The Defense Intelligence Agency's Legislative Liaison Activities

1. Purpose: To detail DIA's legislative liaison activities.

2. Major Points:

   • Key Committees for DIA:

     -- DIA's Legislative Liaison Staff's mission is to satisfy the military intelligence requirements of the U.S. Congress. Although DIA interfaces with a number of non-defense related committees in the discharge of its mission, the bulk of its effort is centered on the following committees:

     --- House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) --- House Armed Services Committee (HASC) --- House Appropriations Committee (Defense Subcommittee) --- House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) --- Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) --- Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) --- Senate Appropriations Committee (Defense Subcommittee) --- Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) --- Senate Select Committee on PW-MIA Affairs (SSCPW-MIA)

   • DIA's relationships with these committees is very close and in many cases, unique. DIA, as the premier Defense Department producer of military intelligence, provides these committees with expert military intelligence analysis on a world-wide basis. This support takes many forms, from the supply of daily intelligence products, to the distribution of all DIA hardcopy publications to the HPSCI and the SSCI, to responding rapidly to all congressional requests for formal briefings or informal discussions.

   -- These activities provide members and staffers alike with the unique dimension of viewing a crisis or world event from a military perspective.

   -- DIA recently instituted a new program where selected Defense Attache Office (DAO) personnel on rotation back to the Washington, D.C. area brief HPSCI and SSCI staffers on current political/military developments in country. This program has brought timely, incisive and unique details to these staffers.

   • During the 102nd Congress, DIA developed a close working relationship with the Senate Select Committee on PW-MIA Affairs. DIA provided that committee with hundreds of linear feet of documentation to assist the committee in its efforts.

   • The Director, DIA, as the GDIP Program Manager, also maintains close contact with intelligence, armed services and appropriation committees to insure that the GDIP budget is fully justified.

• Reports Due to Congress: -- A report on Chinese technology transfer is being prepared by DIA for OSD. -- Several dozen reports and budgetary actions are due to the Congress pursuant to congressional action on the FY 1993 GDIP budget request.

SUBJECT: External Process and Relationships

1. Purpose: Key Interagency Relationships.

2. Major Points:

   • To accomplish his mission, the Director, DIA maintains close working relationships with his Service and other Intelligence Community counterparts. These key relationships are reflected by his participation in key interagency bodies.

   -- Intelligence Community Executive Committee (IC/EXCOM). A senior corporate leadership body which meets regularly on policy and resource matters to provide top-level input and support for the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) to manage the Intelligence Community. The Director, DIA and Vice Chairman, JCS, represent the interests of military intelligence in this interagency forum.

   --- Functions include intelligence policy and planning; National Foreign Intelligence Program and budget development, evaluation, justification, and monitoring; intelligence requirements management and evaluation; and performance of such other functions and duties as determined by the DCI.

   -- National Foreign Intelligence Board (NFIB). The senior Intelligence Community advisory board on substantive aspects of national intelligence; interagency exchanges of foreign intelligence information; arrangements with foreign governments on intelligence matters; protection of intelligence sources and methods; activities of common concern; and other matters referred to the NFIB by the DCI.

   -- Military Intelligence Board (MIB). Serves as The Senior "Board of Governors" for substantive and programmatic Military Intelligence issues. The Board is composed of the Service Intelligence Chiefs, the Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), the Director of the Central Imagery Office (CIO), the JCS J2, representatives from the OSD, and other key intelligence officials. It is chaired by the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, sitting in his de facto role as "Director of Military Intelligence", and meets as needed.

SUBJECT: Intelligence Support to Policy Development

1. PURPOSE: To provide an overview of the Directorate for Policy Support's mission to assist in the policy development process.

2. Major Points:

• The congressionally-mandated DoD Reorganization Act of 1989 and Secretary Cheney's 15 June 1991 Memorandum, "Strengthening of Defense Intelligence", highlighted the need for enhanced intelligence support for defense policy issues. The Policy Support Directorate was formed out of existing elements of DIA that were devoted to supporting policy requirements, but lacked an overall framework to ensure strong, substantively-based dialogue with senior policy positions in the Defense Department and the White House. The Directorate serves as the Defense Intelligence counterpart to the DCI's National Intelligence Council (NIC).

• The Directorate is organized around nine (9) senior Defense Intelligence Officers (DIO) who are responsible for insuring that the DIA intelligence-OSD policy dialogue is anticipatory, high quality, and orchestrated to satisfy requirements for intelligence support on a proactive basis. Each DIO is an experienced authority on a specific geographical region or functional area and interacts regularly with counterparts in the NIC and National Security Agency. Each is empowered to draw on resources of the Intelligence Community in support of OSD policy offices and the JCS through J2. The nine DIO portfolios are:

-- Europe -- Russia and Eurasia -- Counterproliferation, Strategic Programs, and R&D -- East Asia and Pacific -- Middle East, South Asia, and Terrorism -- Africa -- Latin America -- General Purpose Forces -- Collection Issues

• Examples of intelligence support services provided include the following:

-- Weekly briefing provided to the Secretary of Defense and his principal advisers on developments in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Critical situations or issues elsewhere in the world are addressed as required. The briefing format is designed to permit informal dialogue between the SecDef, his policy advisers, and intelligence officers.

-- Weekly intelligence-policy roundtable, frequently led by a DIO, in which a variety of timely issues are discussed in depth at lower than the Assistant Secretary level. Regular NSA and occasional CIA participation occurs.

-- Weekly informal briefing to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy on developments or issues of critical policy interest. This briefing schedule is augmented in frequency and subject matter as events dictate.

-- Daily briefings and intelligence support packages for a wide variety of OSD officials at all levels on near- and longer-term issues of critical policy concern. The Policy Support Directorate arranges for briefings and other focused support from DIA or Community intelligence analysts or collection specialists as required.

-- In cooperation with DIA's Directorate for Scientific and Technical Intelligence, PS supports the Defense acquisition process with independent threat assessments and other intelligence data as required.

• Establishment of the Policy Support Directorate is intended to ensure DIA intelligence support to defense policy development in the Office of the Secretary of Defense is commensurate in quality, timeliness, and completeness with that provided to the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

SUBJECT: Defense Intelligence Agency Regulatory Authorities

1. Purpose: To identify the primary regulatory documents which establish and bound the actions and authorities of DIA.

2. Major Points: There is a substantial body of Executive Orders, legislation, Defense Department Directives and Instructions, Joint Chiefs of Staff Publications and Memorandums of Procedure, and Director of Central Intelligence Directives which authorize, assign, and/or govern the performance of the DIA mission. DIA, like NSA, in many instances has two "bosses" - the SecDef (ASD/C3I) and the DCI. The following are a few of the most basic and specific of those documents:

• Secretary of Defense Memorandum, "Strengthening of Defense Intelligence," 15 March 1991, defined a number of areas for improving intelligence activities and centralizing management. Each of these proposals has stimulated changes to the existing structure and roles of military intelligence organizations:

-- Strengthen intelligence support to the Commands and enhance "jointness" through consolidation of existing Command and Component intelligence activities.

-- Reduce management overhead, overseas operating locations, stronger management of production, and a zero-based review to respond to post-Cold War requirements.

-- Strengthen the role and performance of the Defense Intelligence Agency as a Combat Support Agency.

-- Ensure an independent intelligence input in the acquisition process by establishing within DIA a capability to validate threat information in major weapons programs.

• FY 1992/93 Defense Authorization Act (PL 102-90), contains a series of provisions dealing with the organization and management of intelligence activities of the DOD. The Director of DIA was given the responsibility, subject to the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense, for:

-- Providing intelligence support to the Secretary of Defense; the Director of Central Intelligence; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and the Commanders of the Unified and Specified Combatant Commands.

-- Managing the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP), including supervision of the execution of Budgets and Programs within the GDIP, with emphasis on science and technology, human intelligence, and imagery activities.

-- The Act also directed transfer of the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (AFMIC) and the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) from the Army to DIA.

--- PL 102-90 contained a "Sunset Provision" which, with the exception of the transfer of the S&T centers, terminated the legal effectiveness of its provisions on 1 January 1993, unless acted on by Congress.

--- The Intelligence Authorization Act of 1993 has been enacted and the "Sunset Provision" was not addressed by the Congress. Effective 1 January 1993, therefore, the referenced provisions will lapse.

--- The Director, DIA and ASD/C^3I are currently jointly proposing a DoD Policy Memorandum to compensate for these lapsed legislative authorities.

• E.O. 12333, United States Intelligence Activities, 4 December 1981, in setting forth overall responsibilities of each component of the U.S. Intelligence Community, assigns collection, production, tasking and coordination responsibilities for military and military-related intelligence to DIA.

• E.O. 12171, Exclusions From the Federal Labor Management Relations Program, 19 November 1979, exempts DIA from coverage under Chapter 71 of Title 5 of the United States Code.

• Department of Defense Directive 5105.21 "Defense Intelligence Agency," 19 May 1977, as amended established DIA with specific responsibilities, functions, and authorities.

• Department of Defense Directive 5240.1, "DoD Intelligence Activities," allocates selected responsibilities in the intelligence fields to DoD components including DIA.

• The Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 (Goldwater-Nichols Act) designates DIA as a "Combat-support Agency" for the U&S Commands.

• Department of Defense Directive S-5105.29, "Human Resource Intelligence (HUMINT) Activities" (U), has a security classification of SECRET and defines roles and limitations for the program.

• Department of Defense Directive C-5105.32, "Defense Attache System" (U), establishes the Defense Attache System under DIA with specific responsibilities, functions, and restrictions.

• Joint Chiefs of Staff Memorandum of Procedure SM 974-88 establishes parameters for functioning as the U.S. Military Representative to a foreign government, most of whom are Defense Attaches.

• Department of Defense Directive 5100.69, "DoD Enemy PW/Detainees Program," assigns selected duties and responsibilities to DIA.

• Department of Defense Directive 3305.1, "Defense Intelligence College," identifies the College as an element of DIA and defines specific missions, functions, and authorities for it.

• Department of Defense Directive 5240.2, "DoD Counterintelligence," identifies counterintelligence responsibilities within DoD, including a DIA role in counterintelligence analysis and threat assessment.

SUBJECT: DIA Public Liaison Role in DoD Public Affairs Program

1. Purpose: To describe DIA's intelligence support to ASD(Public Affairs) and staff by the Public Liaison Staff (PL)

2. Major Points:

• Serves as point of contact for intelligence support to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and his office.

-- Responds to OASD(PA) for research and release of official responses to the news media, requests for background briefings, and preparation/dissemination of Agency news releases.

-- Advises and assists OASD(PA) and the DIA workforce on contacts with the news media and external issues affecting Agency operations.

• Serves as single point of contact for all unclassified information, declassification actions, and clearance guidance to support the public release of information for DIA.

-- Responds to requests for declassifiable/releasable information under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act programs.

-- Responds to tasking for security review from OASD(PA).

-- Supports OASD(PA) and DIA's Command Element in preparation of significant speeches, addresses, briefings and testimonies before Congress via the clearance process through OASD(PA).

-- Plays a major role in editing and production of DIA declassified/unclassified printed and video products.

• In general, DIA attempts to maintain a "low-profile" in public affairs situations.
