ph DIRECTOR. DFFFNSF INTEL I IGFNCE AGENCY
ike each of you, I count myselflucky and honored to serve our nation as an intelligence professional during this critical time in our history. And it is a special privilege for me to have assumed command of the Defense Intelligence Agency this year. While we are united in sharing the distinction that accompanies our special mission, many of us are nevertheless separated by geography, targets, time and different mission disciplines. For the first time in nearly half a century, the majority of DIA employees work outside the Washington, D.C., area. This photo essay provides a candid and personal look at an agency engaged in the nation’s most sensitive work arotind the world, including in direct support of our military forces. As you can tell from the photos, we do so with a focus on the mission, determination and often a healthy sense of humor. This collection reminds us that, while we should take pride in our individual offices and directorates, we are part of a larger agency with a well-deserved reputation for excellence, honesty, integrity and a willingness to cooperate with partners and allies. As you look through these pages, take pride in your contributions, and your special service with the Defense Intelligence Agency.

See, it was not the last straw per say, and definitely not the ending, It was more ofan awakening, maybe even a beginning. SFCI)onnie Young, DS 1,,_rqrited
