Four Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) counterterrorism programs are slated to be "eliminated or re-aligned"
by the House Intelligence Committee after a comprehensive review and complaints of mismanagement.
DIA MISSION CREEP AND REDUNDANCY
The committee's review of the 70-year-old military intelligence apparatus's programs being re-assigned
found they "have detracted from DIA’s ability to execute its primary mission:
"Providing intelligence on foreign militaries and operating environments that delivers an information advantage to prevent and decisively win wars."
One of the bill's components slated for elimination from the DIA is the Information Review Task Force [IRTF],
which works in conjunction with several other intelligence agencies.
The program is tasked to assess damage when intelligence material is stolen or leaked to the public, according to DIA officials.
This component of the DIA was set up after Snowden publicly released highly classified material to WikiLeaks
and was "instrumental in assessing damage done by documents stolen by Edward Snowden
that were later revealed by a number of media outlets,” DIA spokesman James M. Kudla told Circa.
The task force revealed that Snowden took over 900,000 documents from the DOD
and "could negatively impact future military operations," according to the IRTF report.
The IRTF task force "should be transferred to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
as a Chairman’s Controlled Activity," the committee proposed in their report.
