The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Joint Counterintelligence Training Activity (JCITA) program is a premier Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) training enterprise, equipping Counterintelligence (CI) personnel with the advanced skills needed to protect our nation against evolving adversarial threats.

• Plan, develop, and execute training and certification programs that prepare CI Agents to independently conduct full-scope counterintelligence investigations. Train students to determine whether individuals are acting for or on behalf of a Foreign Intelligence Entity (FIE), assess whether events are connected to FIE activities, and identify appropriate investigative actions and resolutions.
• Develop and teach investigative strategies that leverage the full range of CI functions, missions, and investigative capabilities in accordance with the DoD 5240 series.
• Instruct students on the effective use and application of CI investigative tools, including the legal authorities and procedures outlined in DoD Manual 5240.01 and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), as well as the preparation and use of affidavits and evidence.
• Deliver classroom-based instruction and evaluate student performance during practical field exercises. Training days frequently exceed eight hours, may include weekends, and require travel throughout the National Capital Region (NCR) and CONUS.
• Employ blended learning methodologies, incorporating eLearning tools, lectures, classroom discussions, team exercises, assigned readings, case studies, role-playing scenarios, and practical demonstrations to develop and assess essential investigative skills.

Qualifications

Required:

• Active TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph or the ability to obtain a polygraph.
