The CIA is one of 16 agencies in the IC. The CIA is comprised of four directorates – one of which is the NCS. The NCS serves as the clandestine arm of the CIA, collecting human source intelligence (HUMINT) worldwide through human and technical means. In addition, the NCS serves as the national authority for the coordination, de-confliction and evaluation of clandestine operations across the Intelligence Community.
