What is the DIA?
Aha, just checked, was thinking it was the position Ratcliffe had (but replaced by a member of the enemy). So, no wonder enemy derps are terrified. The mil has this, that’s what I remember now when we heard about this defector a while ago.
DIA - Defense Intelligence Agency
The Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is a three-star military officer that rotates between Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines approximately every three years and is a principal adviser to the Secretary of Defense and to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on matters of military intelligence. The DIA Director also chairs the Military Intelligence Board, which coordinates activities of the defense intelligence community. DIA has a Deputy Director and a Command Senior Enlisted Leader.
