The elements fall within the Executive Branch of the United States government and work both independently and collectively to gather and analyze the intelligence necessary to conduct foreign relations and national security activities. The IC’s mission is to provide timely, insightful, objective, and relevant intelligence to inform decisions on national security issues and events.3 Members of the IC provide the nuanced, independent, and unvarnished intelligence that policymakers and warfighters need to protect American lives and interests anywhere in the world.4 Global threats are projected to expand and diversify, to include cyber threats, election threats, weapons of mass destruction and proliferation, terrorism, counterintelligence, and emerging and disruptive technologies. Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, space and counterspace, environment and climate change, global health, and human displacement are among the topics vital to U.S. intelligence interests. The IC’s workforce must have the skills to understand these threats, including the relevant cultural, historical, and linguistic expertise relevant to country and regional threats from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran; and regions such as South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and the Western Hemisphere. The skills required in the IC’s workforce vary greatly and are aligned to IC elements’ focus areas — science, technology, engineering, the arts, mathematics, law, computer science, human resources, business, cybersecurity, accounting, acquisition, communications, public affairs, language, regional expertise, finance, and liberal arts. 3 The IC’s mission is described in several foundational documents including the National Security Act of 1947, Executive Order 12333, the National Intelligence Strategy of the United States of America (2019), and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, as amended. 4 “Statement for the Record, Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community”, January 29, 2019.
