On July 1, 1965, the Defense Attaché System officially came under the leadership of the DIA director. The objectives of the DAS under DIA are twofold: to provide a more efficient system for the collection of intelligence information for DoD components and to preserve a channel for service-to-service and DoD representational matters of common interest worldwide.

If you are an adventurous person and enjoy international travel, you could be a support assistant at one of our U.S. Defense Attaché Offices located at a U.S. Embassy. We have a variety of positions in Europe and Latin America that require language proficiency.

She said, "I asked one of my people that now works at Rivanna how things were going. He replied, 'I thought I died and went to heaven, but I really am living and working in Charlottesville.'"
