(U//FOUO) New Spaces, New Faces at the Counterterrorism MMC
FROM: Ron Carback
Deputy ADD/CT and Director, CT MMC
Run Date: 01/30/2006
(C) The Counterterrorism Mission Management Center sets up shop next to NSOC, introduces
info-sharing tools and welcomes external representatives.
(C) Regular readers of SID today have followed the development of the Counterterrorism Mission
Management Center (CT MMC) from a germ of an idea in December of 2004 through its initial
operating capability in temporary spaces in November of last year. Then last month, almost a
year to the day after Major General Quirk named Mr. Lonny Anderson as the Associate Deputy
Director for Counterterrrorism and charged him with establishing the CT MMC, the Center took
up residence in newly refurbished spaces adjoining the National Security Operations Center.
(C) Featuring a 24/7 Operations Center with robust global communications capabilities, the CT
MMC is beginning to fulfill its charge to assist in the synchronization of global SIGINT operations,
to act as the NSA's "one-stop shop" for CT SIGINT and to serve as the principal point of contact
for the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).

(C) To provide situational awareness to all CT SIGINT mission elements, the CT MMC Operations
Center staff reaches out and gathers the most pertinent and essential intelligence and
operations information from around the world to produce its daily, on-line summary of key
activities, CT Today . You can find it via the CT MMC web site - "go ctmmc."
(C) While looking at our web site, you will also notice a tab for the Strategy Forum , which is
used by the CT regional strategy leads as a repository for the various regional strategies,
implementation plans, and conference notes. There is also a blog or forum for discussion among
the regional strategy communities of interest.
(C) Further, you will also find a tab for the Terrorism Wiki , an enterprise-level knowledge
base and repository of information on terrorist groups and individuals. When fully developed, it
is intended to serve as a means to share information on various terrorist groups as defined by
the Interagency Intelligence Committee on Terrorism (IICT) and their membership.
(S//SI) Finally, while the CT MMC is a SID entity, we are joined by representatives from CIA's
Counterterrorism Center (CTC), the Special Operations community, and in the near future, the
FBI. These liaison officers provide excellent visibility into counterterrorism strategies, plans and
operations, and they enable the CT MMC to work more effectively with warfighters and
policymakers.
