Threats against our country are evolving. Global adversaries seek to destroy our nation's security.
They do not restrict themselves to borders, boundaries, or conventions.

DTRA ADAPTS TO A COMPLEX THREAT ENVIRONMENT AT THE SPEED OF RELEVANCY.

Our people are stationed at home and overseas, gathering insights and building alliances to help reshape and minimize the global threat environment.
We have a long history of challenging the status quo and overcoming what others think is impossible.
Our teams have their sights on the horizon, ever ready to defeat the unknown.
