Overview and User’s Guidelines

The Intelligence Community (IC) is a group of executive branch agencies and organizations that work separately and together to engage in intelligence activities necessary for the conduct of foreign relations and the protection of the national security of the United States. The U.S. government uses intelligence to improve and understand the consequences of its national security decisions. In this book, the Intelligence Community’s Vision 2015 is examined, which enhances interagency intelligence organizations and helps consumers understand the mission, background, opportunities, and challenges facing the Intelligence Community today.
