Clandestine Service
The threats facing the United States today are more complex and
challenging than ever before, and the collection of foreign intelligence
has never been more vital to our nation's security. Some of the broad
issues we face, such as the threat of war and regional instability are
perennial challenges. CompIex targets such as terrorism and
proliferation pose increasingly critical threats.
In this environment,
the National Clandestine Service (NCS) operates as the clandestine arm
of the CIA, and serves as the national authority for the coordination,
deconfliction, and evaluation of clandestine human intelligence
operations across the Intelligence Community. The NCS supports our
country's security and foreign policy interests by conducting
clandestine activities to collect information that is not obtainable
through other means. The NCS also conducts counterintelligence and
special activities as authorized by the President.
