HOMEABOUT

However, we also deploy globally to support the warfighter during combat missions. Depending on what you are looking for, there are opportunities and experiences available around the world. Below, you will find more information about our presence with the U.S. combatant commands, the Defense Attaché Service and multiple locations in Virginia, Maryland and Alabama.

METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON, D.C.

It is also an easy drive to the Chesapeake Bay and a host of other attractions and shopping areas. You will also have access to internationally renowned universities, such as the National Intelligence University, Georgetown University and George Washington University,  as well as learning centers and think tanks.

U.S. DEFENSE ATTACHE OFFICES, WORLDWIDE

On July 1, 1965, the Defense Attaché System officially came under the leadership of the DIA director. The objectives of the DAS under DIA are twofold: to provide a more efficient system for the collection of intelligence information for DoD components and to preserve a channel for service-to-service and DoD representational matters of common interest worldwide.

If you are an adventurous person and enjoy international travel, you could be a support assistant at one of our U.S. Defense Attaché Offices located at a U.S. Embassy. We have a variety of positions in Europe and Latin America that require language proficiency.

RIVANNA STATION - CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA

The DIA Field Support Activity at Rivanna Station, an interagency facility and our second-largest contingent, is located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia.

At Rivanna Station’s opening ceremony, Maj. Gen. Mary Legere, commanding general of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, captured the attitude that many of our employees in Charlottesville have. She said, "I asked one of my people that now works at Rivanna how things were going. He replied, 'I thought I died and went to heaven, but I really am living and working in Charlottesville.'"
