(b) Defense Intelligence Agency. DIA provides significant all-source<br />

intelligence resources on a broad array of targeting issues. The Director of DIA is the<br />

Commander, <strong>Joint</strong> Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance, and<br />

Reconnaissance (JFCC-ISR) under United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM).<br />

DIA provides finished target intelligence to the President, SecDef, and JFCs, providing<br />

worldwide support to military operations. Analysts across the agency directly support<br />

targeting efforts by performing all-source target development, material production, TSA, and<br />

assessment.<br />

For additional details, see JP 2-01, <strong>Joint</strong> and National Intelligence Support to Military<br />

Operations.<br />

(c) National <strong>Joint</strong> Operations and Intelligence Center. The NJOIC is the<br />

primary conduit through which national-level target intelligence support is provided to the<br />

combatant commands and subordinate joint forces. The NJOIC and combatant command<br />

JIOCs leverage national intelligence assets and determine requirements through the Director<br />

of National Intelligence and IC representatives to combatant commands.<br />

For more information on the NJOIC, see JP 2-01, <strong>Joint</strong> and National Intelligence Support to<br />

Military Operations.<br />

(d) National Security Agency. NSA provides critical intelligence support to<br />

all phases of joint targeting. This support includes analysis of communications networks or<br />

other aspects of the information infrastructure, as well as operational SIGINT. Along with<br />

other affected members of the IC, NSA is responsible for providing the combatant command,<br />

JS J-2, and NJOIC with the intelligence gain or loss assessment, which is an evaluation of<br />

the quantity and quality of intelligence data lost if desired effects are created on a target. The<br />

NSA will keep the NJOIC, combatant command JIOCs, and other interested commands and<br />

agencies informed of agency activities that take place in each respective geographic CCDR’s<br />

area of responsibility and/or JFC’s OA.<br />

(e) National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. NGA is a combat support<br />

agency as well as a national intelligence organization. NGA is the primary source for<br />
