Which of the following is NOT a function of the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency?

• A. Coordinating with the CCMDs to staff intelligence-related CJCS orders
• B. Coordinating intelligence support to meet CCMD requirements and reporting to SecDef through the JCS
• C. Defense Collections, CI, and HUMINT manager
• D. Commander, Joint Functional Component Command for ISR

Answer: (A)

The main concept is understanding what the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency actually oversees. The DIA Director provides all-source defense intelligence and ensures intelligence support to the combatant commands, including managing defense collections, counterintelligence, and HUMINT, and reporting intelligence posture to the Secretary of Defense through the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Coordinating with the CCMDs to staff intelligence-related CJCS orders is not a responsibility of the DIA Director; CJCS orders are generated and staffed through the Joint Staff/JCS, with CCMDs implementing them rather than the DIA directing that staffing. The other functions listed align with the DIA’s duties—delivering intelligence to meet CCMD requirements and handling defense collections, CI, and HUMINT. The Joint Functional Component Command for ISR is a separate joint command and not a DIA-led staff function.
