All intelligence agencies do more or less the same thing.
Myth. Intelligence Community agencies help protect our country through their work in different fields, from satellites to military intelligence to combatting illegal drug trafficking to counterterrorism investigations, to name a few. That requires agencies with parallel and complementary expertise. To be effective, the IC must be both diverse and integrated: diverse to ensure we avoid “group think” and deliver rigorous analysis, and integrated to ensure our products are complete and that we are not duplicating effort. IC agencies also serve very different customers with different needs, including policy-makers, diplomats, warfighters, and national leaders.
