Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) är en amerikansk federal myndighet sorterande under försvarsdepartementet och den är försvarets gemensamma militära underrättelsetjänst. DIA upprättades 1961 av USA:s försvarsminister Robert McNamara för att bättre samordna militärdepartementens underrättelseverksamheter. DIA:s uppdrag är att i rätt tid tillhandahålla objektiva underrättelser till den politiska och militära ledningen. DIA:s generaldirektör är försvarsministern och försvarschefens främste rådgivare i frågor som rör militär underrättelsetjänst.

Michael T. Flynn (born between November 29, 1958 and May 24, 1959) is a retired United States Army lieutenant general who served as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, commander of the Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, and chair of the Military Intelligence Board from July 24, 2012, to August 2, 2014. Prior to this he served as assistant director of national intelligence. He consistently pushed for greater information and intelligence sharing and was a leading figure in coalition and special operations intelligence operations. Flynn co-authored a report in January 2010 through the Center for a New American Security entitled Fixing Intel: A Blueprint for Making Intelligence Relevant in Afghanistan, which criticized the intelligence community for lacking an understanding of the human-socio context of the battlefield in Afghanistan. Flynn's military career was primarily operational, with numerous combat arms, conventional and special operations senior intelligence assignments. He also served as the senior intelligence officer for the Joint Special Operations Command, where he was credited with creating innovative techniques for interrogation operations and operations-intelligence fusion, leading to major breakthroughs in counterterrorism operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere against Al-Qaeda and its associated movements. Flynn is a published author, with articles appearing in Small Wars Journal, Military Review, Joint Forces Quarterly, the Center for a New American Security, and other military and intelligence publications. In May 2016 he emerged as one of several leading possible choices as vice presidential running mate for Republican nominee Donald Trump.
