Since that time, of course, there has been billions of dollars poured into DHS, DIA and the CIA. The DIA's three centers have become more refined and defined. Those three centers as they exist today, consists of: The National Military Production Center, the National Military Intelligence Collection Center, and the National Military Intelligence Systems Center. Each of the three has specific jobs and responsibilities as well as the objective to effectively coordinate information flow between the three centers.
According to Polmar, The National Military Production Center is responsible for producing and managing military intelligence, including assessments of aerospace, maritime and ground forces of foreign forces as well as threat assessment.
The National Military Intelligence Collection Center does exactly what it sounds like, that is it; manages Department of Defense intelligence collection and operates the Defense attache system. In that regard, it selects and trains attaches and handles their reports.
Last, but certainly not least, is the National Military Intelligence Systems Center which provides information services to the intelligence community.
These services include reference and library systems as well as automated data processing.
"Under the 1996 law that covered the secret funding of U.S. Intelligence agencies, Congress authorized the DHS to run proprietary companies and other front establishments for clandestine agents overseas....
Congress gave the DHS a three-year trial period to carry on commercial activities." (Polmar pg 158).
It was a positive move by Congress, but in retrospect it probably should have happened a lot sooner, with more money to accomplish its objectives.
Though its civilian employees are now in the majority (as compared to the military employees), the DIA is still a military organization and is usually directed by generals or admirals appointed by the Secretary of Defense. Its headquarters is located in the Pentagon, with the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center located at Bolling Air Force Base in southwest Washington. The Defense Intelligence College (also run by the DIA) is also located there.
The Defense Intelligence College is an educational and training facility established in 1962 through the Army and Navy's merger of their respective intelligence schools. Students at the school include military and civilian intelligence professionals seeking advancement and career development.

The management of large organizations is a very crucial issue, whether they are government-related or not (Argyris, 1993; Argyris & Schon, 1978; Broom, Jackson, Harris, & Vogelsang-Coombs, n.d.; Brown & Brudney, 2003; Hatry, 1999; Haynes, 1999). Often, however, the government does not seem to realize that it must manage itself in the same way that a business would in certain aspects if it is to succeed and therefore it

The same techniques used for anticipating terrorism threats can use used for anticipating conditions of genocide and political upheaval, even in countries that appear to be economically and politically stable (Goldsmith, Butcher, Semenovich, Sowmy (2012), et.al.). The DHS has also had to architect it systems that overcome bureaucratic
