(U//FOUO) SID/FAD Presentation: Enabling Coalition Partners in
Afghanistan
FROM: the AF-PAK Mission Management Team
Run Date: 10/19/2009
(TS//SI//REL) As the Obama administration deliberates on a revised strategy and
potential troop buildup in Afghanistan, the NSA Enterprise has proactively
positioned itself to respond to the expected new information needs -- to include
greater reliance on our Second and Third Party SIGINT partners. Mark your calendar for a special
presentation on Tuesday, October 20th, 0900-1030, in the Friedman Auditorium.
(TS//SI//REL) The SIGINT and Foreign Affairs Directors will provide an update on the NSA/CSS
SIGINT strategy for Afghanistan, with a focus on enabling our coalition partnerships in
Afghanistan. The SIGINT Director, Mr. Crumm, and the Director of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Cusick,
will address SIGINT enabling of our coalition partners in Afghanistan and the changes in those
relationships over the last several years. With more than 40 nations providing troops to the
International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF) coalition, the SIGINT strategy for Afghanistan
has fundamentally transformed our coalition SIGINT partnerships in Afghanistan. Our forwardleaning efforts have taken us from the information-sharing constructs of the past, to an
integrated and interdependent SIGINT coalition network supporting national and ISAF
operations in Afghanistan. Our way ahead will help our ISAF partners to invest, share, and fully
operationalize their SIGINT potential.
(U) Following the presentations, there will be an opportunity to ask questions.
(U//FOUO) All TS//SI-cleared individuals, including our Second Party colleagues, are invited to
attend. We expect a full house, so come early for a good seat, as this session will not be
broadcast, nor will it be recorded.
