    The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (formerly the Strategic
    Defense Initiative Organization) was established as a separate agency of
    the Department of Defense and is Presidentially chartered and mandated
    by Congress to develop ballistic and cruise missile defense systems that
    are capable of providing highly effective defense of the United States
    and a flexible, interoperable family of theater missile defense systems
    that may be forward deployed to protect elements of the U.S. Armed
    Forces and allies of the United States.
        The agency's mission is to manage and direct DOD's Ballistic Missile
    Defense acquisition programs, which include theater missile defense, and
    to develop a national missile defense program for the United States. The
    agency also is responsible for the continuing research and development
    of follow-on technologies that are relevant for long-term ballistic
    missile defense. These programs will build a technical foundation for
    evolutionary growth in future ballistic missile defenses. In developing
    these programs, the agency utilizes the services of the Military
    Departments, the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and
    Space Administration, private industries, and educational and research
    institutions.

    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) was established by the Secretary of
    Defense and operates under Department of Defense Directive 5105.22. It
    supports both the logistics requirement of the Military Services and
    their acquisition of weapons and other materiel. Support begins with
    joint planning with the Services for parts for a new weapons system,
    extends through production, and concludes with the disposal of material
    which is obsolete, worn out, or no longer needed. The Agency provides
    logistics support, contract administration services, and technical
    services to all branches of the military and to a number of Federal
    agencies.
        Within the Agency's Defense Logistics Support Command (DLSC),
    professional logisticians buy and manage a vast number and variety of
    items used by all of the Military Services and some civilian agencies.
    The Military Services determine their requirements for supplies and
    materiel and establish their priorities. Agency supply centers
    consolidate the Services' requirements and procure the supplies in
    sufficient quantities to meet the Services' projected needs, critical to
    maintaining the readiness of our forces. The Agency manages supplies in
    eight commodity areas: fuel, food, clothing, construction material,
    electronic supplies, general supplies, industrial supplies, and medical
    supplies. The DLSC also manages the distribution function for the Agency
    through the Defense Distribution Center. Distribution is defined as all
    actions involving the receipt of new procurements, redistributions, and
    field returns; storage of materiel, including care of materiel and
    supplies in storage; the issuance of materiel; consolidation and
    containerization of materiel; preservation, packaging, packing, and
    marking; physical inventory; quality control; traffic management; other
    transportation services, unit materiel fielding, and set assembly/
    disassembly; and transshipment and minor repair.
        The Agency's Defense Contract Management Command (DCMC) administers
    contracts awarded to industry by the Military Services, DLA, the
    National Aeronautics and Space

    [[Page 231]]

    Administration, other Federal agencies, and foreign governments. The
    DCMC is responsible for ensuring that procured materiel is of
    satisfactory quality and is delivered when and where needed. Services of
    the DCMC include but are not limited to establishing overhead rates,
    approving progress payments, negotiations, property management, quality
    assurance, manufacturing, engineering, law, safety, small business
    assistance, and contractor employment compliance. These duties are
    performed at or near contractor plants through a complex of offices
    which vary in size, depending on workload and the concentration of
    Government contractors in the area.
    Other Logistics Support Services  The Defense Logistics Information
    Service is the Department of Defense's consolidated site for managing
    all supply cataloging functions. As such, it manages the Federal Supply
    Catalog System, which lists a National Stock Number and description of
    over 6 million items. This catalog system is used throughout the Federal
    Government. The Center also maintains a data bank of information used to
    design, purchase, transport, store, transfer, and dispose of Government
    supplies.
        The Defense National Stockpile of strategic and critical materials
    is maintained to reduce the Nation's dependence upon foreign sources of
    supply for such materials in times of national emergency. The Defense
    National Stockpile Center is authorized to procure and dispose of
    materials as needed.
        The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service provides for the
    redistribution and disposal of DOD equipment and supplies no longer
    needed by the original user. Assets are matched against requirements of
    the Military Services and Federal agencies and transferred as needed.
    When equipment becomes surplus, it is offered to the General Services
    Administration and State agencies, after which it is offered for sale to
    the public. The Service is a worldwide organization with offices on many
    major military installations.

    The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is the oldest defense agency,
    having evolved from the Manhattan Project of World War II. Known
    variously over the years as the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project,
    the Defense Atomic Support Agency, and the Defense Nuclear Agency, DSWA
    is currently chartered under DOD Directive 5105.31. The Agency is
    designated to be the DOD center of expertise for nuclear and special
    weapons effects, and operates under the authority, direction, and
    control of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and
    Chemical and Biological Defense Programs (ATSD(NCB)).
        The Agency supports the ATSD(NCB) in all nuclear weapons stockpile
    stewardship matters, including the annual nuclear weapons stockpile
    certification and the nuclear weapons dual revalidation program with the
    Department of Energy. As part of its stockpile stewardship mission, DSWA
    tracks the location and status of all U.S. nuclear weapons. Agency
    personnel also conduct weapons effects research, training, and
    operational unit inspections to ensure the safety, security, and
    reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile. Furthermore, DSWA provides
    planning assistance to combatant commanders and support in case of a
    nuclear weapons accident or incident.
        Through the use of simulators, computer models, and non-nuclear
    field tests, the Agency supports the military services and combatant
    commanders by verifying that essential military systems can operate in
    hostile nuclear environments. It also supports the targeting community
    through the development of automated analysis and planning tools to
    ensure the effective employment of both nuclear and conventional weapons
    across the spectrum of potential targets. One area of specific interest
    has been the effectiveness of conventional weapons against hardened and
    deeply buried targets and facilities that may be used to produce or
    store weapons of mass destruction.

    [[Page 234]]

        For the Secretary of Defense, the Agency conducts the Cooperative
    Threat Reduction Program, which provides support to the states of the
    former Soviet Union as they comply with a variety of recent arms control
    treaties. The Agency also carries out the arms control treaty
    verification technology and counterproliferation technology programs for
    the Department of Defense. For the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
    Staff, DSWA provides field support in the form of vulnerability
    assessments for the force protection program. Other unique
    responsibilities include operating the Defense Nuclear Weapons School,
    supporting the Nuclear Test Personnel Review and the Radiation
    Experimentation Center, and providing base support at Johnston Atoll,
    one of the U.S. Army's chemical weapons storage and destruction sites.

    Directive 5105.60 pursuant to the National Imagery and Mapping Agency
    Act of 1996 (10 U.S.C. 441 et seq.). The successor agency of both the
    Defense Mapping Agency and the Central Imagery Office, NIMA also
    incorporates imagery exploitation and dissemination functions
    transferred from other DOD offices and from the Central Intelligence
    Agency. It serves under the authority, direction, and control of the
    Secretary of Defense, with the advice of the Chairman of the Joint
    Chiefs of Staff, and in accordance with policies and priorities
    established by the Director of Central Intelligence. The Assistant
    Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications, and
    Intelligence exercises overall supervision over NIMA, which is
    designated as a combat support agency and as an element of the
    intelligence community.
        The Agency is responsible for providing timely, relevant, and
    accurate

    [[Page 235]]

    imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information in support of
    the national security objectives of the United States. Its creation
    represents a fundamental step toward achieving the Department of Defense
    vision of dominant battlespace awareness. By exploiting the tremendous
    potential of enhanced collection systems, digital processing technology,
    and the prospective expansion in commercial imagery, NIMA works to
    guarantee customers the information edge.
        Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, NIMA operates major facilities in
    northern Virginia, Washington, DC, Bethesda, MD, and St. Louis, MO, as
    well as support and liaison offices worldwide.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The National Security Agency was established by Presidential directive
    in 1952 as a separately organized agency within the Department of
    Defense. In this directive, the President designated the Secretary of
    Defense as Executive Agent for the signals intelligence and
    communications security activities of the Government. In 1972, the
    Central Security Service was established, also in accordance with a
    Presidential memorandum, to provide a more unified cryptologic
    organization within the Department of Defense, with control over the
    signals intelligence activities of the military services.
        As the U.S. cryptologic organization, NSA/CSS employs the Nation's
    premier codemakers and codebreakers. It ensures an informed, alert, and
    secure environment for U.S. warfighters and American policymakers. The
    cryptologic resources of NSA/CSS, foreign signals intelligence (SIGINT)
    and information systems security (INFOSEC), unite to provide U.S.
    policymakers with intelligence information derived from America's
    adversaries while protecting U.S. signals and information systems from
    exploitation by those same adversaries.
        Executive Order 12333 of December 4, 1981, describes in more detail
    the responsibilities of the National Security Agency.

    The On-Site Inspection Agency (OSIA) was established as a separate
    Department of Defense agency on January 26, 1988, to implement the 13-
    year inspection regime of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF)
    Treaty. The Agency's mission has since expanded to include
    implementation of on-site inspection and escort requirements of the
    nuclear testing treaties, including the Threshold Test Ban Treaty (TTBT)
    and the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty (PNET); the Conventional
    Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty; the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty
    (START); the Vienna Document of 1994; the Open Skies (OS) Treaty; the
    Chemical Weapons (CW) Agreements; and the Dayton peace accords for
    multilateral inspection activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Agency
    acts as the Defense Department's executive agent to the United Nations
    Special Commission on Iraq. OSIA also serves as the executive agent for
    the Defense Treaty Inspection Readiness Program (DTIRP) and provides
    support to the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program for their
    denuclearization and dismantlement programs.
        The Agency is manned by military personnel from all of the armed
    services, as well as civilian technical experts and support personnel.
    It maintains liaison with various Government agencies interested in arms
    control and draws its three civilian deputy directors from the U.S. Arms
    Control and Disarmament Agency, State Department, and Federal Bureau of
    Investigation.
