At the direction of President Bush, the NCTC produced the National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the War on Terror to further delineate Federal Department and Agency tasks to implement National Security Presidential Directive-46 (NSPD-46)/Homeland Security Presidential Directive-15 (HSPD-15). At the same time, the Departments of Justice (DOJ), Homeland Security (DHS), Defense (DoD), and State (DOS) and the Director for National Intelligence (DNI) have enhanced their field operations and technical capabilities and strengthened their working relationships with SLT, the private sector, and foreign partners.
