Senator Chambliss Pays Tribute to Retiring Director Burgess
On July 12, 2012 Senator Saxby Chambliss, vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, spoke on the Senate floor to recognize retiring DIA Director LTG Burgess' record of service in the intelligence community and United States military.
DIA is the nation’s premier all-source military intelligence organization.
It provides the nation’s most authoritative assessments of foreign military intentions and capabilities. The agency’s four core competencies -- human intelligence, all-source analysis, counterintelligence and technical intelligence -- enable military operations while also informing policy-makers at the defense and national levels.
DIA’s mission is unique and no other agency matches its military expertise across such a broad range of intelligence disciplines.
