According to the ODNI's website, the US Intelligence community (IC) is made up 16 different Intel organizations--each with their own mission. Soon it will be 16 + 1.
Back in 2004 the 9/11 Commission Report determined that the IC was unorganized and stove-piped. It recommended the establishment of the ODNI to take responsibility for the IC. A massive layer of bureaucracy was added on top of a notoriously bureaucratic community like the icing on a cake.
Well now the DIA is splitting off its defense-related covert activities to create a separate organization: the Defense Clandestine Service (DSC).
I hope this is a good thing.
