The Directorate of Military Intelligence, or DMI, is the military intelligence agency of Fratanica, under the Ministry of Defense. The DMI is responsible for overseeing intelligence gathering regarding military movements and capabilities of state and non-state actors throughout the globe. The DMI answers directly to the Ministry of Defense, and is not part of the normal military chain of commmand.
The agency was established on 14 June 1955. Over time, the agency has played a key role in informing Fratanican policymakers of military threats, and expanding its influence throughout the world. Intelligence officers are stationed abroad, in both embassies and other countries alike.
History
Pre-DMI times, 1941-1955
The preceding agency was the General Intelligence Secretariat, whose responsibilities included gathering intelligence to inform defense policy. Early policymakers used this agency both to gather information on foreign countries, as well as run domestic operations. However, this was horribly inefficient in fulfilling the intelligence needs of the government, and had been abused in the infancy stages of the federal republic. Lawmakers later conceded that the gathering of intelligence must be streamlined to fit a defensive specialty, and intelligence agencies must be reformed to prevent its abuse again.
