4.1: Foreign Partners

Cooperate with foreign partners to increase global situational awareness and close critical intelligence gaps.

Other Information:

DIA will seek out and build relationships with knowledgeable and capable foreign partners to enhance access to information and perspectives otherwise unavailable to our intelligence analysts. The Agency will work with its partners to focus on the intent of foreign leaders and adversaries to provide the intelligence required to prevent—rather than respond to—potential crises around the world. DIA will: • Coordinate with other members of the IC to leverage existing and emerging intelligence relationships to greater advantage. • Provide timely foreign exchange and disclosure policy guidance to support improved information access for foreign partners and coalition members. • Serve as the critical link and DoD focal point for the foreign defense attaché community, foreign embassy staffs, and the defense and national intelligence communities to leverage resources and limit intelligence shortfalls.
