ABOUT


DIA Strategic Approach

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) fulfills a unique role at the intersection of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community (IC). Warfighters, policymakers, and acquisition leaders rely on us for foundational intelligence on foreign militaries and the operating environment that only we provide. Today, our role is more vital than ever as the re-emergence of great-power competition challenges U.S. property, security, and the democratic world order we have fought to sustain since World War II. Our competitors have studied and learned from the American way of war. They are building asymmetric capabilities that seek to diminish our longstanding military dominance in all warfighting domains—land, maritime, air, space, and cyber. The 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS) seeks to expand our competitive space with a more lethal and innovative defense enterprise coupled with a robust network of allies and partners—challenging the Department to change at a remarkable pace.

GRAND OPENING
DIA MUSEUM
DIA's mission is to provide intelligence on foreign militaries and their operating environments so the United States and its allies can prevent and decisively win wars. We serve everyone from the president to the soldier in combat through a combination of expert analysis, intelligence gathering, and cutting-edge science and technology. The DIA Museum provides a unique, declassified look at DIA's roles that include exposing the truth, supporting operations, enabling diplomacy, and supporting every effort to safely return our troops.
