BACKGROUND: In FY 99, the Defense Intelligence Agency?s Directorate for Analysis and Production instituted a three-week, interactive course designed for intelligence analysts with little or no experience in analyzing the operations and capabilities of foreign military forces. These training events are effectively blended into an understanding of joint operations during classroom instruction delivered by instructors from DIA, CIA, and NIMA. Students are introduced to issues such as manning, equipping, training, and organization of foreign military forces. Students visit the National Ground Intelligence Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. DIA and CIA jointly manage the course, with analysts participating from various Intelligence Community organizations. OBJECTIVE: To deliver three (3) three (3)-week iterations of the Interagency Military Analysis Course. IMAC is focused on two primary objectives: (1) through intense classroom work, briefings at the NGIC facility at Aberdeen Proving Ground, and field experiences at Antietem Battlefield, to gain an analytic understanding of the composition, equipment, organizations, and functions of foreign ground, air, and naval forces; warfighter missions, capabilities, and intelligence needs; and the concepts governing the joint employment and deployment of foreign armed forces; and (2) to create an environment of information sharing, team building, consensus building, and leadership?critical skills to working in an intelligence combat support environment, especially during crisis situations in support of deployed forces.

Purpose is to ensure the students are fully prepared to gain maximum benefit from IMAC. c. Prepare and present introductions to each training event composing the IMAC course.
