(U) Defense intelligence comprises avital com ponen t of the U.S. intelligence
enterprise, responding to the unique policy, operational, and acqu isition
requirements of the DOD as well as national intelligence missions assigned to
the D epartm ent. The MlP sustains all programs, projects or activities that
su pport theSecretary of Defense intelligen ce, cou nterintelligen ce, and related
intelligence responsibilities and p rovides capabilities to meet the warfighters'
operational and tactical requirements whenever and wherever needed. In the last
several years, we have embarked on afundamental change to th econcept of
defense intelligence - on e th at balances the uniqu e role of support to the
warfigh ter with th e recognition that today's security envircnmen t crosses
traditional organizational domains. Thed eep integrationof defen se intelligence
into the larger Intelligence Community, theevolution of ourcollab oration with
h omeland defense counterparts, and the fostering of commilled international
partnerships are all ou tcom es of this fundam ental ch an ge. The Intelligen ce
Community u nderstands that further transfonna tion of th e larger national
security infrastructureis necessary to b uild effectively for the futu re.

corresponding improvement in mission accomplishmen t or reduction in risk.
We recognize that irregular warfare is as strategicallyimportant as traditional
warfare and both sharemany of the ap plications of capabilitiesand skills. We
need to h ave thed efense intelligen ce capacity to identify and prevent (or defeat)
irregular threats from state and non-state actors acro ss operational areas and
