Description
Our mission is to build a public constituency for a sound, healthy and capable US intelligence system. Our focus on education fosters an understanding of the important role of intelligence in National Security and nurtures interest by students in careers in the many fields used by US Intelligence Agencies. This includes the role of supporting intelligence activities in US policy, diplomacy, strategy, security and defense. In addition, AFIO focuses on understanding the critical need for effective counterintelligence and security against foreign, political, technological or economic espionage, as well as covert, clandestine and overt counter-terrorist or criminal operations threatening US security, the national infrastructure or corporate and individual safety. AFIO's mission has special significance in today's international diplomatic and business environments.
