Intelligence Community Integration
NMIO combines Maritime Security and Maritime Intelligence to provide Maritime Unity of Effort. This means we take a strategic, national-level view of maritime situational awareness activity, relate it to current intelligence about what is important now and in the near future, and apply it to identify anticipatory intelligence on future trends, game changers, and drivers of maritime issues.
(Right) NMIO’s Maritime Intel unity of effort is designed to: Disrupt illicit use of the maritime domain; and protect legitimate use. We provide IC integration through a Maritime Intelligence Strategy Board chaired by RADM Sharp that utilizes a UIS to identify Hard Targets, Campaigns and Initiatives. Later, we will go into more detail about what the maritime community has identified for priority challenges in the UIS. (Authority: ICD 900: Mission Management)
(Left) NMIO’s Maritime Security unity of effort is designed to coordinate initiatives to address the 19 Challenges in the National MDA Plan. We provide Interagency Integration and Information Architecture Planning and Sharing through the MDA Executive Steering Committee chaired by RADM Sharp that utilizes Advisory Groups, as well as Outreach through Meetings and Foreign Partner interactions. (Authority: PPD-18 “Maritime Security”) Collectively then, we work to create whole-of-government synergy to effect action to combat challenges in the maritime domain.

Why Office of the Director of National Intelligence Exists
These photos from the 2000 attack on the USS Cole and the 911 attack against the WTC are the strategic level reasons for the creation of my office.
But the development of our mission and structure is an incremental and important one, starting with the Intelligence Reform & Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004.
