Created in 1961, the
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is
first in all-source defense intelligence to prevent
strategic surprise and deliver a decision advantage to
warfighters, defense planners, and policymakers. Its
professionals deploy globally alongside warfighters and
interagency partners to defend America's national security
interests.
This video presentation recounts the challenges
and successes that shaped the agency into the primary
producer of foreign military intelligence that it is today.
Senior defense and intelligence leaders deliver firsthand
accounts of DIA's contributions to national security
priorities dating from the Cuban Missile Crisis to today's
continuing terrorism threat. Drawing from a half-century of
untold stories about defense intelligence support, this
revealing chronicle celebrates DIA's legacy and sets the
stage for its future.
