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

The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) (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 a limited 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. BMDO is under the 
authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Technology.
    The agency's mission is to manage and direct DOD's ballistic missile 
defense acquisition programs, which include theater missile defense, and 
to develop and deploy, if directed, a national missile defense program 
designed to protect the United States from a long-range missile threat 
posed by rogue nations. 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 and 
is under the authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Technology. It supports both the logistics 
requirement of the

[[Page 231]]

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disposal of material which is obsolete, worn out, or no longer needed.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 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 National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) was established on 
October 1, 1996, as a member of the intelligence community and a 
Department of Defense combat support agency. It is chartered under DOD 
Directive 5105.60, pursuant to the National Imagery and Mapping Agency 
Act of 1996 (10 U.S.C. 441 et seq.). NIMA operates 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 the 
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.
    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. With a vision of 
guaranteeing the information edge, NIMA is committed to delivering the 
imagery and geospatial information that gives national policymakers and 
military users information superiority in a rapidly changing global 
environment.
    NIMA supports national policy objectives by committing substantial 
imagery analysis resources to national priorities, especially as they 
relate to diplomatic and regional security policy, arms control and 
treaty monitoring activities, counterterrorism, nonproliferation, 
chemical and biological warfare, and information operations activities.
    NIMA also provides geospatial information, such as natural and 
cultural feature data, elevation data, controlled imagery, international 
boundaries, and place names necessary to understanding the context of 
intelligence information. This information supports a full range of 
diplomatic, disaster relief, countermobility, no-fly zone enforcement, 
force protection, and humanitarian and multi-national peacekeeping 
activities.
    NIMA also provides accurate and current geospatial information 
required by the unified combatant commands to plan, operate, and if 
necessary, fight and win. NIMA's stragtegy supports operational 
readiness through a concentrated investment in geospatial foundation 
data, including controlled imagery, digital elevation data, and selected 
feature information, which can be rapidly augmented and fused with other 
spatially referenced information, such as intelligence, weather, and 
logistics data. The result is an integrated digital view of the mission 
space that is crucial for diplomatic, military, and civil relief 
operations.
    NIMA is headquartered in Bethesda, MD, and operates major facilities 
in Washington, DC, Reston, VA, and St. Louis, MO.

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. In 1986, NSA 
was designated a combat support agency of DOD.
    As the U.S. cryptologic organization, NSA/CSS employs the Nation's 
premier codemakers and codebreakers. It ensures an informed, alert, and 
secure

[[Page 236]]

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.
