Intelligence Specialists are a key component of NCIS and are skilled subject matter or regional experts who examine and evaluate information from a wide variety of classified and unclassified sources to help identify and neutralize threats to Department of the Navy (DON) personnel and assets around the world. Working with the Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC) at NCIS Headquarters and various NCIS Field Offices across the country and around the globe, NCIS Intelligence Specialists utilize their specialized knowledge and expertise to identify and track ever evolving criminal, terrorist and intelligence threats to the United States Navy and Marine Corps. 

NCIS Intelligence Specialists collect and assess intelligence from a number of sources, such as national databases, domestic/foreign media publications, and contacts with peers in other intelligence and law enforcement agencies. They produce intelligence reports, brief senior DON leaders, and closely coordinate and support NCIS counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigations and operations.
