(U) Exciting opportunities at the front lines of collaboration: The DNI's National Counterterrorism
Center.
(U//FOUO) Interested in learning about how counterterrorism analysis is done in the ultimate
collaborative environment? Customer Gateway and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)
are hosting an NCTC information session on Friday, 20 October from 0830 to 1130 in
HQS 9A135 (see the the agenda ). This is your opportunity to hear directly from your
colleagues on the front lines of collaborative analysis against the most challenging current and
emerging threats. To register, contact the SID Account Manager for the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (DNI),
at
.
(U//FOUO) Established by Executive Order (EO) 13354 1 and legislated as part of the DNI in the
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004 2 , the NCTC is chartered "to
become the nation's center of excellence for terrorism and counterterrorism issues,
orchestrating and shaping the national and international effort to eliminate the terrorist threat
to U.S. interests at home and abroad." The Center has established itself as the primary provider
of CT information to the national leadership, and contributes information to the President's Daily
Brief and a number of other high-level reports, bulletins, alerts and advisories. NCTC
representatives also brief the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and Principal Deputy
Director of National Intelligence (PDDNI) on terrorism issues.
(U//FOUO) The Directorate of Intelligence is the IC's center for terrorism analysis, with a diverse
work force drawn from over 17 federal agencies. Detailees to NCTC have access to all of the U.S.
Government's information on terrorism, including non-disseminated operational traffic. Other
directorates govern global terrorism situational awareness, crisis response, information sharing,
advanced analytic techniques, red teaming, and a host of radically new CT initiatives.
(U//FOUO) DNI Negroponte put it best: "The initiative, creativity, and insight that are the
hallmarks of our colleagues across the IC are the backbone and strength of our contribution to
the Nation's security. Indeed, no one has better ideas about how to improve the IC and
make it succeed than you -- the IC professionals who know it best." 3 We invite you to
learn more about the exciting initiatives underway at the NCTC.
