National Intelligence Community

The National Intelligence Community (NIC) is a group of U.S. government agencies responsible for gathering, analyzing, and sharing intelligence to support national security. It includes organizations like the CIA, NSA, DIA, and others, each with specialized roles such as human intelligence, signals intelligence, and defense analysis. Together, they work to identify threats, inform policymakers, and protect the country from foreign dangers. The NIC operates under a coordinated framework to ensure timely, accurate intelligence across different agencies, enhancing national security and foreign policy decisions.
