Enforcement & Terrorism Dr. J. Bradford History (1947-2004):
Though the U.S. has conducted intelligence gathering since the
times of Gen. George Washington, the CIA in its current form has
only been around since 1947, when it was created by the National
Security Act, under President Harold S. Truman. Combining elements
of the Armys Office of Strategic Services (OSS), lead by Gen.
William Wild Bill Donovan, with qualified civilian elements under
the direction of Allen Dulles, the CIA assumed Command &
Control (C2) authority for all U.S. intelligence activities until
2004. During this period, the CIA was involved in countless
operations and activities, though typically only their greater
blunders are recorded and publicized: The collapse of unpopular
dictatorships in Iran and Guatemala which the CIA had propped up;
several controversial experiments such as the MKULTRA mild control
experiments; The Bay of Pigs failed coup against Cuban dictator
Fidel Castro, which nearly resulted in the dissolution of the CIA
by President John F. Kennedy; and finally the failure to share
pertinent information which may have prevented the 9/11 attacks on
the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001. Unclassified 5/20/2015

Enforcement & Terrorism Dr. J. Bradford History (2004-Current):
In 2004, President George W. Bush passed the Intelligence Reform
and Terrorism Prevention Act which stripped the CIA of its
Intelligence C2 authority, instead placing it in the hands of the
newly created position of Director of National Intelligence. In his
latest Message to The Workforce on 6 Mar. 2015, Director Brennan
laid out the Vision for the Future of the CIA, which involved the
creation of the new Directorate of Digital Innovation, and the
internal shakeup and rebranding of the Directorate of Clandestine
Services as the Directorate of Operations, the internal details of
which remain classified. Further, Brennan announced the deployment
of new Mission Centers that will bring the full range of
operational, analytic, support, technical, and digital personnel
and capabilities to bear on the nations most pressing security
issues and interests [and] will not be tethered to any single
Directorate; rather, we will organize within them the full range of
Agency officers and elements possessing the expertise and
capabilities needed to execute mission[s]. These Mission Centers
will each be run by Assistant Directors. Unclassified 5/20/2015
