NATIONAL  SECURITY  AGENCY/CENTRAL  SECURITY-SERVICE 
CREATION  AND  AUTHORITY 
1.  Pursuant  to  the  Presidential  directives  of  24  October  1952,  which  declare  that 
Communications  Intelligence  (COMINT)  and  Communications  Security  (COMSEC)  are 
national  responsibilities,  the  Department  of  Defense  established,  by  directive,  the 
National  Security  Agency  to     succeed  the  Armed   Forces  Security  Agency.     The 
•  National  Security  Council  added  Electronic  Intelligence    (ELINT)  to  NSA's  national 
mission  in  1958.  --♦ 
2.  In  accordance  with  Presidential  directives  and  pursuant  to  the  National  Security  Act 
of  1947.  the  National  Security  Council  issued  National  Security  Council  Intelligence 
Directive  (NSCID)  No.  9,  dated  29  December  1952,  and  the  National  COMSEC 
Directive,  dated  20  October  1953,  which  defined  the  NSA  COMINT  and  COMSEC 
missions  respectively.  ELINT  "functions  were  first  recognized  in  NSCID  No.  17, 
dated  16  May  1955.  The  original  COMINT  and  ELINT  directives  were  superseded  by 
and  combined  into  NSCID  No.  6,  "Communications  Intelligence  and  Electronics 
Intelligence,"  dated  15  September  1958.  NSCID  No.  6  was  updated  on  17  February 
1972  and  retitled  "Signals  Intelligence."  The  COMSEC  directive  of  1953  was 
updated  on  25  April  1957,  on  26  August  1968,  and  again  on  20  June  1979.  The  SIGINT 
and  COMSEC  directives  name  the  Secretary  of  Defense  as  executive  agent  for  the 
conduct  of  SIGINT  and  COMSEC  activities  and  direct  that  the  SIGINTand  COMSEC 
missions  be  carried  out  in  response  to  guidance  from  the  National  Foreign 
Intelligence  Board  (NFIB)  and  the  National  Communications  Security  Committee 
(NCSC),  respectively. 
3.  The  Critical  Intelligence  Communications  (CRITICOMM)  System  was  established  by 
NSCID  No.  7,  dated  15  September  1958  and  updated  on  17  February  1972.  DoD 
Directive  S-5100.1S,  dated  19  March  1959,  which  implements  the  NSCID  assigns 
responsibility  to  the  Director,  NSA  for  controlling  the  traffic  and  cryptographic 
operations  of  the  CRITICOMM  System  and  for  establishing,  after  coordination  with 
the  organization  of  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff  and  appropriate  agencies,  the 
operational  procedures  for  handling  COMINT  and  critical  intelligence  traffic  within 
the  system. 
4.  In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  NSCID  No.  6,  the  Secretary  of  Defense 
established  the  Central  Security  Service  (CSS)  under  the  Director,  NSA.  The 
Secretary  of  Defense  provided  for  the  National  Security  Agency/Central  Security 
Service  (NSA/CSS)  by  promulgating  DoD  Directive  S-5100.20  dated  23  December 
1971;  he  approved  the  NSA/CSS  Organization  Plan  on  14  April  1972  to  implement 
that  directive.  The  NSA/CSS  is  a  separately  organized  agency  within  the 
Department  of  Defense  under  the  direction,  authority  and  control  of  the  Secretary 
of  Defense.  It  is  subject  to  the  provisions  of  Department  of  Defense  directives  and 
procedures  to  the  extent  that  they  are  applicable  and  consistent  with  its  missions 
and  functions.  Major  components  of  the  NSA/CSS  are  the  National  Security  Agency 
(NSA)  and  the  Service  Cryptoiogic  Elements  (SCEs)  of  the  Military  Departments. 
Under  the  NSA/CSS,  SIGINT  resources  are  unified  but  decentralized.  The  NSA  is 
the  management,  operational  tasking,  analytical  and  production  arm  of  the  system 
and  the  SCEs  are  the  field  arm.  The  Director,  NSA/Chief,  CSS  exercises 
operational  control  of  the  collection  effort. through  the  Deguty  .Chief,  CSS  and  the 
SCE  Commanders.

PURPOSE 
7.    The    resources    of    the    National    Security    Agency/Central    Security    Service    are 
organized  for  the   accomplishment  of  two  national  missions: 
.       a.    The   Signals   Intelligence   (SIGINT)   mission   is   to   provide   an  "effective,    unified 
organization   and  control  of  all  SIGINT  collection  and  processing  activities  of  the 
United     States,     and     to     produce     SIGINT     in     accordance     with     objectives 
requirements  and  priorities  established    by  the  Director  of  Central  Intelligence

measures  to  deny  unauthorized  persons  national  security-related,  including 
sensitive  but  unclassined,  information  derived  from  telecommunications  and  also 
prevents  these  persons  from  disrupting  or  causing  the  deception  of  such 
communications.  Measures  included  within  COMSEC  are  cryptosecurity 
transmission  security,  emissions  security,  physical  security,  and  technical 
security.  (2)  The  Computer  Security  (COMPUSEC)  mission  is  to  implement 
protective  measures  designed  to  prevent  deliberate  or  inadvertent  unauthorized 
access,  disclosure,  acquisition,  manipulation,  modification  or  loss  of  information 
contained  in  automated  systems  used  within  the  Deoartment  of  Defense,  other 
Government  Agencies  and  the  private  sector.  DoD" Directive  5215.1,  dated  25 
October  1982  established  the  DoD  Computer  Security  Evaluation  Center  (CSEC)
