It can mean the difference between triumph and failure. The more you know about your enemies, the better you can defend against them. Throughout history, perhaps no other con- cept has been more important in guiding the rise and fall of nations. For America, foreign military intelligence is crucial. In a world wracked with terrorism, military instability, and clashing ideologies, intelligence provides key decision-makers with the vital information they need on the capabilities and intentions of other nations. In the 1950s, an extensive evaluation of United States Intelligence efforts pointed up a serious weakness: with each of the four military services producing its own intelligence, there was no single, unified agency responsible for managing and coordinating the production of foreign military intelligence for the Depart- ment of Defense. To meet this need, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was established in 1961. Its creation was described as the most significant organizational develop- ment in military intelligence since World War II. DIA. Creating a more secure America. The mission of DIA is to satisfy the intelligence requirements of the Department of Defense. Through its director, DIA serves as the primary intelligence advisor to the Secretary of Defense and other senior decision-makers. The Agency's director is also the intelligence staff officer of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, responsi- ble for providing intelligence support for both planning and mil- itary operations. To fulfill its mission, DIA maintains an extensive intelligence base capable of z/ providing accurate, timely information on ground, naval, air, missile, and space for- ces around the world. The Agency also manages and evaluates the intelligence pro- duction of other Department of Defense components and closely cooperates with other organizations within the Intelligence Community, such as the Central Intelli- gence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA). The result is a well-coordinated, carefully managed intelligence effort that provides the nation with informa- tion it needs to prevent surprise, counter threats, and deter potential aggressors. Agency Responsibilities DIA's activities involve intelligence collection, pro- duction, and support. To gather the intelligence required for national security, DIA coordinates all defense intelligence y' collection and processing activities. The Agency works closely with the intelligence organizations of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Other intelligence collection resources, such as those belonging to the CIA and the NSA, also channel intelligence to DIA. After intelli- gence has been col- lected and pro- cessed, it must be carefully analyzed to produce mean- ingful data for he fate of the Nation may rest on accurate and complete intelligence data which may also serve as a trustworthy guide for top-level governmental decisions on policy and actions in a troubled world where so many forces and ideologies work at cross purposes. - 1955, Hoover Commission Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/05/14: CIA-RDP90-00530R000701730004-5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/05/14: CIA-RDP90-00530R000701730004-5 presentation to decision-makers. There are four general categories of foreign military intelligence: Basic intelligence forms the data base for all military intelli- gence studies, estimates, and short-term assessments. It con- tains information such as strengths and capabilities of for- ces, target information, and biographic data on foreign military officials. Time-sensitive current intelligence/indications and warning include reports and evaluations on major worldwide devel- opments that could have an immediate impact on the U.S. defense posture. Intelligence estimates are mid- to long-range in nature. They provide military information included in national intelligence estimates prepared by the Director of Central Intelligence, the overall head of the United States Intelli- gence Community. Foreign scientific and technical intelligence includes l1he war taught us this lesson - that we had to collect intelligence in a manner that would make the information available where it was needed and when it was wanted, in an intelligent and understandable form. - President Harry Truman DIA and the future. Since its inception over 25 years ago, DIA has been con- stantly evolving ... continually improving and refining its intelligence-gathering and production capabilities. Only in this way can the Agency successfully meet the military challenges America faces in a dangerous world. Today, in an era when high-speed communication is possible to any part of the world, the intelligence produced by DIA can be as useful to an officer in the field making tactical decisions as it is to key decision-makers formulating broad national policies and strategies. With military threats ranging from the high-technology weaponry of our major adversaries to terrorist attacks and low intensity conflicts, intelligence serves as a force multiplier. It enables military commanders to use their resources most effectively because they know what challenges they face. But no matter how the ways intelligence is gathered and used may change, one fact remains constant. To strengthen the defense capabilities of the United States and protect our national interest, there will always be a need for military intelligence. This is the job of DIA. And this is why we need some very extraordi- nary people. research in natural and applied sciences, applied engineering techniques, and all aspects of weapons technology. To support and disseminate intelligence, DIA provides centralized library, reference, ADP, and communications services. The Agency also operates the Defense Intelligence College, a fully accredited learning institution that offers specialized instruction and recognized masters programs to both military and civilian career personnel. How intelligence helps safeguard the country. The intelligence provided by DIA is used in three major areas, each vital to national security. Current Intelligence/Indications and Warning. To assure advance warning of all potentially critical situations, the Agency manages a worldwide system that operates on a 24-hour basis, seven days a week. This permits DIA to report impending foreign military devel- opments that could affect the United States. Timely information is dispatched to key decision-makers and major field commanders. Structuring National Security and Military Forces. DIA provides intelligence neces- sary for the planning and development of United States national policy, force structuring, and weapons systems. Estimates involve long-range foreign military capabilities and intentions and scientific and technical intelligence, particularly in the area of foreign weapons characteristics. Planning and Conduct of Military Operations. The Agency also provides intelli- gence to support the planning and conduct of military operations. Intelligence requirements generally involve detailed information on such topics as the size and capabilities of foreign forces, telecommunications, terrain, geography, and weapons production capabilities of other nations.

It enrolls about 4,000 students per year and operates under the control of the Director, Defense Intelligence Agency. The College awards certificates for career intelligence pro- grams at the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as for credit and non-credit applied intelligence programs and courses. Among the latter are several that prepare students for assignments within the Defense Attache System. It offers, on a full or part-time basis, the country's only master's degree in strategic intelligence. The College is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Students attend classes for periods ranging from two days to one year. They come from throughout the intelligence com- munity and include active duty and reserve military personnel from all four Services, DoD and other federal agency civilians, and officers from allied foreign governments. Instruction emphasizes a joint, strategic perspective of intelligence and is provided by a combination of resident faculty, reservists, adjunct professors and subject matter specialists in the community. The Washington location facilitates field trips to key intelligence nodes and access to research sources. The College offers qualified students an opportunity to pursue professional graduate study at no cost. Individuals enrolling in the Graduate Program may earn a concentration certificate by completing a series of specified courses, a diploma by completing the Postgraduate Intelligence Program, or the degree of master of Science of Strategic Intelligence (MSSI) by completing all degree requirements. Graduate concentrations include Soviet Studies, Middle East, Latin America, National Foreign Intelligence Community, China/Asia, Africa, Europe and Collection Management. Two new concentrations in Foreign Counterintelligence and Low Intensity Conflict should be available by Fall 1987. The Postgraduate Intelligence Program is a 9-month, in- residence program preparing students for joint assignments. It concentrates on the planning, direction, collection, production and dissemination of defense intelligence at the national level and in the joint arena. The master's degree was added to the graduate program to strengthen intelligence as a career profession. Today's in- ternational environment requires highly qualified and educated intelligence careerists in a host of critical positions. The MSSI program at the College, with its thesis and non- thesis options, allows military and civilian intelligence specialists to engage in advanced study and research in their career field. Part-time graduate students can choose from among day- time and early evening classes. A typical part-time student carries one or two courses per quarter, each meeting for one 3-hour session per week for 10 weeks. Several part-time students have earned the MSSI degree. A 9-month Senior Enlisted Intelligence Program provides senior noncommissioned officers with a program of specialized study in national intelligence organizations; collection man- agement; production, collection and dissemination of national intelligence; basic intelligence analysis; and regional studies. INTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM An array of course and program offerings prepares students for entry into the intelligence community and/or fulfills training requirements for the DoD- Wide Civilian Intelligence Career Development Program. Examples include the 2-week Joint Intelligence Course for those with no previous intelligence experience and the Joint Intelligence Management Course, also two weeks long, designed for officers and civilians soon to be assigned to management positions. Other more specialized courses include indications and warning for watch officers, NCOs and watch analysts, and Scientific and Technical Intelligence for individuals associated with S&T analysis functions. For personnel entering or assigned to intelligence collection management activities, the College offers a 4-week Intelligence Collection Management Course. A new 2-week course in Counterterrorism Analysis has recently been added. The National Senior Intelligence Course is a 3-week executive level course for senior intelligence managers. Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/05/14: CIA-RDP90-0053OR000701730004-5 Other New Program Components Civilian Table of Organization (CTO) - approved by the Senior Review Board, is an average grade posi- tion management control system. The CTO reflects an approach similar to that used by CIA and NSA but designed to accommodate DIA's unique military/civilian workforce mix and smaller size. Essentially, the CTO will reflect an employee's present grade and target grade, which represents the expert. level in their respective ca- reer ladder and full performance level in other positions. It will replace the current system of position-by-position, grade-by-grade classification in RHR. Advanced Hiring Rate - This program will enable DIA to attract and retain critically skilled people in key occupations. The program establishes more flexible criteria for setting a new DIA employee's pay. Simplified Position Descriptions - Position descrip- tions will be shortened and rewritten to reflect the knowledges and skills identified in the respective career ladders. Everyone at the same level (e.g. expert, mid level, etc.) in a career ladder will have the same description. Also, the new position descriptions can be supplemented with specific duties as needed by an organization. New titling of positions will provide greater operational security and be more reflective of titles elsewhere in the intelligence community. Rank-in-Person - Standards will be developed that will determine if the qualifications that an individual brings to a position and their performance can warrant a promotion above the full performance level (e.g. expert). This is in addition to the present system of promoting an employee when their performance has a significant impact on the scope and complexity of the duties of their position (i.e. impact of person-on-the-job). The evaluation of the criteria in the standards will be done by a review committee of key managers. All employees will be potentially capable of being promoted beyond the expert level on this basis. Key Players Supervisors - The major responsibility for implement- ing these authorities rests with the first-level supervi- sors and higher managers. Working as partners with RHR, they will identify, select, and develop employees commensurate with their abilities, qualifications, and Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/05114: CIA-RDP90-0053OR000701730004-5 mission of DIA.

Employees - Employees should know their respective SME and career ladder, their performance appraisal requirements and then personally evaluate where they are in their career and what type of goals they wish to set. The new career ladder and performance appraisal systems were created by and for DIA employees and reflect DIA's commitment to enhance the professional development of all personnel. This will enable DIA employees to broaden their horizons, pursue their goals, keep them abreast of new technologies and issues, and ensure that their careers are on track. Also, DIA employees can gain familiarity with programs by reading key directives, DIA Bulletin articles and informational materials, and attending scheduled briefings. A Personnel System for the 1990's In the dynamic and unstable world in which we live, DIA is developing a career development program that will achieve greater flexibility in the assignment of human resources, selection of the most qualified and experienced person for each key position, and will be a model for other parts of DoD and the Federal Estab- lishment. In short, DIA will have a personnel program that will enhance workforce development, permit more management control and flexibility to meet the dynamic requirements of the intelligence mission of the future. A Personnel System DIA's Commitment to the Future Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/05114: CIA-RDP90-0053OR000701730004-5 The Personnel System An effective and efficient personnel management sys- tem is vital to the accomplishment of an Agency's mission. Therefore, it is essential that policies and programs are identified and established that challenge employees to strive in their work, benefit them, and meet DIA's mission. Civilian Career Development In the early 1980's, DIA realized that a strong civilian career development program was needed. The increasing real time intelligence environment and emerging new technologies were placing different demands on DIA's personnel system to meet the mission of the Agency. DIA's senior management, with RHR, proceeded with two courses of action to enhance the career development program: Career Ladders and Performance Appraisal systems. Career Ladders A reflection of DIA's commitment to develop an en- hanced personnel management and professional develop- ment program for all personnel, the career ladders are a road map for employees to follow as they pursue their career goals. Each ladder includes the progressive knowledges and skills needed for advancement in a particular occupa- tion, appropriate training, and developmental activities. Promotions will be based upon meeting knowledges in the career ladder as determined by management. Each career ladder has a Subject Matter Expert (SME) who is responsible for technical advice to supervisors on the assessment of knowledges and skills. The SME is also the technical expert on what is required for advancement in a given career ladder. The career ladders and Subject Matter Expert for each include: Intelligence: VP-1 Estimates VP-2 Scientific/Technical VP-3 Logistics VP-4 Resources: VP-4A Military/Geography VP-4B Energy VP-4C Material/Trade VP-4D Economics Part - Sanitized Copy Approved VP-5 VP-6 STAT VP-7 VP-7A VP-7B VP-7C VP-7D VP-8 JS-1 JS-2 JS-2A JS-2B DI DG OS VO.1 VO-2 Imagery Political/Military (includes biographics) Military Capabilities: Ground Aerospace Nava 1 Third World Counterterrorism Indications and Warning Current: Regional Functional Intelligence Advisor GDIP Functional Counterintelligence Intelligence Planner Collection Intelligence Support: Human Resources Manager Intelligence Processing/ Dissemination Technician Computer Operator Computer Programmer Computer and Office Systems Analyst Computer Specialist Photographic Technician Imagery Services Specialist Contract Specialist Supply Specialist Data Base Manager Financial Resource Manager DoDIIS Manager Information Services Specialist Document Service Specialist Visual Information Specialist (Presentations) Administrative/Staff Officer Visual Information Specialist (Printed Materials) General Lithographer Photographic Technologist Performance Appraisal To complement the career ladders system (which deals with future potential and development) and to better evaluate current job performance, a new appraisal sys- tem based on performance areas and competencies has been derived: by input from a cross section of the DIA STAT workforce. This will be the vehicle to reward employees for performance and, also, sometime next year, the performance appraisal will become the justification for award or denial of an employee's Within Grade Increase (WGI). The performance appraisals, in order of their develop- ment are: 1. Professional Intelligence Personnel (Implemented) 2. Clerical/Administrative Personnel (Implemented) 3. Intelligence Support Professionals (Implemented) 4. Managers/Supervisors (to be implemented October 1986) 5. Technicians/Wage System Personnel (to be imple- mented January 1987) Personnel Legislation In addition to these programs, legislation was pro- posed to Congress that would provide DIA comparable classification authority to that of CIA and NSA. Congress recognizing DIA's need passed legislation in 1984 that provides DIA much greater flexibility on personnel matters and compensation, and enhances the management of civilian personnel. In January 1986, the Director was delegated authority by the Deputy Secretary of Defense to proceed with DIA's personnel legislation implementation plan. Some of the planned changes are: ? simplified position descriptions; ? advanced hiring rates for certain types of positions; ? broader management control over promotions in career ladders up to expert level with RHR oversight; ? establish new DIA titles for similar kinds of work in conjunction with the career ladders; ? increased opportunity for promotion based on what a person brings to the job (rank-in-person); ? one grade progression for all professionals hired beginning in FY 87; ? performance appraisals will be used as the basis for with in grade increases. ? DIA has the authority to terminate employees for national security purposes when no other laws can be used. Complementing these authorities are the new career ladder and performance appraisal systems.

The DIA mission is one of paramount importance to the security and defense of the United States. As a key component of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Agency is primarily responsible for meeting the foreign military and military-related intelligence requirements of the National Command Authorities (President, Vice President, National Security Council, etc.), the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Unified & Specified Commands worldwide. Employees of the DIA are thus key contributors to the management and production of intelligence information which directly influences the formulation and execution of this Nation's foreign and defense policies. Conducted in a state-of-the-art facility, the work presents a unique opportunity to personally contribute to the national defense and provides exceptionally challenging career opportunities which few other employers in Government or the private sector can match. However, because of the unique nature of the mission, the DIA work environment requires that employees meet the rigid security requirements for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information. This requirement mandates that employees meet and maintain the highest levels of personal honesty and integrity. Accordingly, you should be aware that, as an applicant to and prospective employee of the Agency, the following special employment criteria are governing for initial and continued employment in the Defense Intelligence Agency: ? Employment is subject to completion of a detailed background investigation to insure compliance with the Agency's special employment criteria. All statements and claims made in employment application and security forms are subject to investigative verification. Intentional misstatement of or witholding of information during initial personnel and security processing may preclude employment. ? All employees are subject to periodic reinvestigation to insure continued compliance with the Agency's special employment criteria. ? Your character, conduct, and discretion must be above reproach and you must have unquestioned loyalty to the United States. ? You and members of your immediate family shall, be U.S. citizens. ? Marriage to a foreign national will preclude employment with DIA. If, after employment, you marry a foreign national, termination of employment may be effected. ? No member of your immediate family and no one to whom you may have ties of affection, kinship, or obligation shall be of dubious loyalty to the United States nor be a citizen and resident of a foreign country.

DIA's mission is to meet the intelligence requirements of both the civilian and the military sectors of the Department of Defense. Through its director, DIA serves as the primary intelligence advisor to the Secretary of Defense and other senior decision-makers. The Agency's director is also the intelligence staff officer on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, respon- sible for providing intelligence support for military opera- tional commands. To fulfill its mission, DIA maintains an extensive intelli- gence base capable of providing accurate, timely information on military ground, naval, air, missile, and space forces around the world. The Agency also manages and evaluates intelligence collected by the military services and cooperates closely with other organizations within the United States Intelligence Community, such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency. The result is a well-coordinated, carefully managed intel- ligence effort that provides the nation with information it needs to counter threats and deter potential aggressors. Career opportunities for Computer Professionals at DIA. Advanced computer technology is the lifeblood of any modern intelligence organization. It is the only way the vast amount of intelligence information constantly being collected can be effectively stored, processed, and analyzed. Through its sophisticated systems, DIA is able to moni- tor the changing world situation and respond quickly with decisions based on current, accurate information. Computers play such a vital role that their functions are directed by a separate Department of Defense group and several DIA directorates. The Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DODIIS) is the ADP umbrella system for the entire Department of Defense. Through this interactive network, key intelligence producers and decision-makers are linked together worldwide. The Directorate for DODIIS Engineering provides engi- neering management and support to ensure the smooth, effi- cient operation of the Intelligence Community's information systems. The Directorate for DODIIS Planning and Management is responsible for mid- and long-term planning for the System. The Directorate for Information Systems is responsible for the overall development, maintenance, and operation of information system services for the Defense Intelligence Agency. These include implementing programs governing communications services and capabilities, automated intelli- gence information handling systems, and office technologies. The Directorate also manages DIA communications networks and operates all Agency computer equipment and facilities. The Agency needs computer professionals who can evaluate the capabilities of its systems in relation to intelli- gence requirements; evaluate technology and apply it to enhance the Agency's ADP capabilities; develop technical standards and specifications; and create and maintain computer-based systems and applications programs.
