ABSTRACT

The domestically oriented intelligence enterprise has evolved not only statutorily but also through practical collaboration. Collaboration between intelligence and nonintelligence community components has produced a de facto structure that produces and uses information of intelligence value in furtherance of U.S. national interests. It has incorporated subfederal  as  well as private sector entities into this process. This chapter focuses on the platforms and partnerships between the intelligence community (IC) entities and the broader domestically oriented intelligence enterprise rather than specific collaborative operations. The latter are addressed in the subsequent chapter on specific intelligence activities.
