Defense Intelligence Agency
Annual Threat Assessment
UNCLASSIFIED
Good morning, Chairman Levin, Ranking Member McCain, and members of the
committee. Thank you for this opportunity to testify today and for your continued
support to the dedicated men and women of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),
many of whom are forward-deployed directly supporting our military forces in
Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world.
Our nation faces an unusually complex threat environment – one marked by an
accelerating operational pace and a broad spectrum of dissimilar challenges and potential
threats from nation-states and non-state, transnational terrorist networks.
This testimony reflects DIA’s analytical assessments, worldwide human
intelligence, technical intelligence, counterintelligence, and document and media
exploitation collection efforts along with intelligence drawn from our close partners
throughout the Intelligence Community, international allies and open sources.
