(b) Defense Intelligence Agency. DIA provides significant all-source
intelligence resources on a broad array of targeting issues. The Director of DIA is the
Commander, Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance (JFCC-ISR) under United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM).
DIA provides finished target intelligence to the President, SecDef, and JFCs, providing
worldwide support to military operations. Analysts across the agency directly support
targeting efforts by performing all-source target development, material production, TSA, and
assessment.
For additional details, see JP 2-01, Joint and National Intelligence Support to Military
Operations.
(c) National Joint Operations and Intelligence Center. The NJOIC is the
primary conduit through which national-level target intelligence support is provided to the
combatant commands and subordinate joint forces. The NJOIC and combatant command
JIOCs leverage national intelligence assets and determine requirements through the Director
of National Intelligence and IC representatives to combatant commands.
For more information on the NJOIC, see JP 2-01, Joint and National Intelligence Support to
Military Operations.
(d) National Security Agency. NSA provides critical intelligence support to
all phases of joint targeting. This support includes analysis of communications networks or
other aspects of the information infrastructure, as well as operational SIGINT. Along with
other affected members of the IC, NSA is responsible for providing the combatant command,
JS J-2, and NJOIC with the intelligence gain or loss assessment, which is an evaluation of
the quantity and quality of intelligence data lost if desired effects are created on a target. The
NSA will keep the NJOIC, combatant command JIOCs, and other interested commands and
agencies informed of agency activities that take place in each respective geographic CCDR’s
area of responsibility and/or JFC’s OA.
(e) National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. NGA is a combat support
agency as well as a national intelligence organization. NGA is the primary source for
