The NCMI is tasked with monitoring and analyzing health events worldwide to enhance the United States Department of Defense's medical readiness, global health surveillance, and medical intelligence mission.

History

The NCMI was established in 2008, but its roots can be traced back to the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (AFMIC), which was created in 1982. The AFMIC was the primary producer of medical intelligence for the United States Department of Defense and the United States Intelligence Community.

Mission

The mission of the NCMI is to monitor and analyze worldwide health threats that could impact the readiness of U.S. military forces. This includes the surveillance of infectious diseases, environmental health risks, and advancements in medical technology and research.

Organization

The NCMI is a component of the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is under the United States Department of Defense. It works closely with other intelligence agencies, military departments, and the United States Department of Health and Human Services to fulfill its mission.

Functions

The NCMI provides medical intelligence assessments and briefings to the United States Department of Defense and other government agencies. It also supports humanitarian relief operations and assists in the development of countermeasures to biological threats.
