Intelligence Community The Intelligence Community (IC) is important for keeping the United States safe. Their key mission is to collect, analyze, and deliver foreign intelligence and counterintelligence information to Americas leaders so they can make sound decisions to protect our country ( Mission, n.d.). The Intelligence community has grown tremendously throughout the years and continues to do so for our protection.

These disasters help start the introduction of Intelligence Community but unfortunately the tragedy of 9/11 helped strengthen it. The flaws of the Intelligence Community were exposed after 9/11 which caused for new developments. The creation of Homeland Security was born, and it created a greater emphasis on the need for united actions and efforts across previously divided elements of government and society (Evolution of the Intelligence Community ) . Our president at the time, George W. Bush signed four executive orders in August of 2004 that strengthened and reformed the entire intelligence community (History, n.d). A year later in August 2005, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) began its operations. ODNI was created to lead and support IC integration, delivering insights, driving capabilities, and investing in the future ( History, n.d.). The implementation of new reforms and policies help strengthen and grow the intelligence community and other flaws that appeared after 9/11.
