From the SID Mailbag: When To Mark Things 'COMINT'
Document
Release Date:
2018-03-01
Document Date:
2005-09-09
The COMINT (Communications Intelligence) classification marking, along with Special Intelligence, often refers to information derived from foreign communications. However, the marking can also be used for “SIGINT equities that support the production of Communications Intelligence.” For example, secret information-sharing arrangements with foreign governments are classified SI, because these relationships lead to the acquisition of foreign communications.

Document Date:

In March 2004, the Army visited the NSA headquarters at Fort Meade requesting more signals intelligence capability in the field. Previously, the NSA had provided support at the unit or headquarter level, but the Army requested unit-level deployments. After much internal debate about training and resources required, the NSA began deploying an additional 25 staff to Iraq every six months as "Cryptologic Support Teams." The Army credits the NSA with "countless mission successes."

NSA's New Information Sharing Policy: How It Affects the Dissemination of SIGINT
Document
Release Date:
2018-03-01
Document Date:
2005-08-30
A new policy allows for more rapid sharing of signals intelligence with other branches of government and allies, as long as agents comply with the appropriate regulations. Open sharing represents a “major cultural shift” for the NSA, and as the agency drafts new policies, analysts must judge whether information they find is both eligible and appropriate for sharing.
