Overview[]
Established in January 2009 by Intelligence Community Directive 902, "Global Maritime and Air Intelligence Integration," the National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office (NMIO) was created to advance governmental collaboration and unity of effort as outlined in the 9/11 Commission Report and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004.
The NMIO performs a national-level, cross-departmental mission to facilitate the proactive integration of intelligence within the maritime domain; provides direct support to the National Security Staff and facilitates information sharing and collaboration across the Global Maritime Community of Interest, which consists of U.S. federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; the maritime industry; academia; and our foreign partners.
