The Defense Intelligence Agency proudly welcomes James H. Adams as its 25th Director. A Marine Corps aviator with more than three decades of distinguished service, Lt. Gen. Adams brings deep operational, strategic and resource-management experience to the Agency. Commissioned in 1991 and designated a naval aviator in 1993, he flew the AH-1W Super Cobra on multiple deployments in support of Marine Expeditionary Units and combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, accumulating more than 3,300 flight hours — over 300 of which were in combat.
