The U.S. intelligence community is vast, composed of 17 distinct organizations each operating under its own shroud of secrecy.

美国情报界是一个巨大的由17个截然不同组织构成，这些组织在自己神秘的外衣下独立运作。

Oversight of these agencies generally falls to the Department of Defense or Congress, leaving the average citizen with precious little knowledge of how they operate.

对这些机构的监管通常会落在国防部或国会身上，留给一般老百姓的只有那些他们是如何运作的珍贵的小知识。

Funded by largely classified budgets, it's difficult to assess how much the U.S. annually spends on these clandestine operations, but one 2012 estimate pegs the cost at about $75 billion.

多半由秘密预算提供资金，估算美国每年花了多少钱在秘密行动上是困难的，但是一份2012年的评估限定这个费用在约750亿美金左右。

The following slides highlight the expansive reach of the U.S. intelligence community.

下面的幻灯片显示出美国情报界扩张的范围。

The Central Intelligence Agency spies on foreign governments and organizes covert ops.

中央情报局（CIA）暗中监视外国政府和组织秘密行动

The CIA is the most well-known U.S. spying agency, formed by the passage of the National Security Act of 1947. The agency has its roots with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) that operated during World War II.

CIA是最著名的美国间谍机构，于1947年由国家安全法案通过组建。这个机构根源于二战期间运作的战略服务办公室(OSS)

Headquarters: Langley, Va.

总部：弗吉尼亚州，兰利

Mission: CIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates intelligence gathered on foreign nations. This comes through signals and human intelligence sources.

任务：CIA收集，分析和传播采集自国外的情报。它的情报来源于信号和人。

Budget: Classified. On their website, the CIA states, "neither the number of employees nor the size of the Agency's budget can, at present, be publicly disclosed. A common misconception is that the Agency has an unlimited budget, which is far from true."

预算：机密。在他们的网站上，CIA注明，“目前，还不能公开披露机构人员数量和预算多少。一个常见的无解释本机构有无限的预算，这与事实相去甚远。”

There have been some slips, however. In 2005, a CIA deputy director inadvertently revealed the annual intelligence budget was $44 billion.

然而，这种状况有点松动了。2005年，一位CIA副局长不经意间透露年度情报预算是440亿美元。

The National Security Agency was once so secretive it was jokingly called 'No Such Agency.'

国家安全局（NSA）是如此神秘以至于曾被戏称为“并无此类机构”

NSA Headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland(NSA位于马里兰州米德堡的总部)

NSA

The NSA was established in 1952 with a mission primarily dedicated to code breaking, after the Allies' success in cracking German and Japanese codes during World War II. For a long time, the NSA, which operates under the Dept. of Defense, was not even recognized by the government, commonly referred to as "No Such Agency."

在二战中盟军成功破解德日的密码之后，于1952年创建NSA，主要任务是致力于破解密码。很长一

段时间内，NSA是在国防部下运作的，甚至没被政府正式承认，通常被称为“并无此类机构”。

Headquarters: Fort Meade, Md.

总部：马里兰州，米德堡

Mission: The main functions of the NSA are signals intelligence — intercepting and processing foreign communications, cryptology — cracking codes, and information assurance. IA is, put simply: preventing foreign hackers from getting secret information.

任务：NSA的主要功能是信息情报——拦截和处理外国通信，密码学研究——破解密码和确保信息安全。IA（确保信息安全）简单来说，防止外国黑客获得秘密信息。

Budget: Classified. Some estimate the NSA is actually the largest intelligence organization in the world — three times the size of the CIA. The headquarters alone takes up 6.3 million square feet — around the same size as the Pentagon — with 112 acres of parking spaces, reports the Washington Post.

预算：机密。有些人估计NSA实际上是世界上最大的情报组织——有CIA3倍大。总部独自占用了630万平方尺——大概和五角大楼一样大——停车位占地112英亩（华盛顿邮报报道）

The Defense Intelligence Agency works to understand what foreign militaries wili do before they do it.

国防情报局（DIA）的工作就是在国外军事力量做什么之前了解他们将怎么做（译注：应该就是预测

外国军事力量的行动）

DIA

The DIA was established in 1961 with the goal of sharing information collected by the major military intelligence outfits (such as Army or Marine Corps Intelligence). More recently, the DIA has been expanding its overseas spy network to collect first-hand intelligence.

DIA成立于1961年，目标是通过主要的军事情报机构来分享收集的信息（比如陆军或海军陆战队）。近期以来，DIA不断地扩大它的海外情报网来收集第一手情报。

Headquarters: Washington, D.C.

总部：哥伦比亚特区，华盛顿

Mission: The DIA serves as the lead intelligence agency for the Dept. of Defense, coordinating analysis and collection of intelligence on foreign militaries, in addition to surveillance and reconnaissance operations. The DIA is the common link between military and national intelligence agencies.

任务：DIA作为领导情报机构向国防部服务，除了监视和侦查行动之外，还协调外国军队的情报分析和收集。DIA是军队和国家情报机构之间的常规渠道。

Budget: Classified. The DIA does not reveal budget information, although they do say they have more than 16,500 men and women working for them and are under DoD and congressional oversight.

预算：机密。DIA没有揭示预算信息，尽管他们确实承认有超过16,500名的男女在为他们工作，受国防部和国会的监督。

The State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) has ties to the Office of Strategic Services from World War II, but was transferred to State after the war. INR now reports directly to the Secretary of State, harnessing intelligence from all sources and offering independent analysis of global events and real-time insight.

二战中，国务院情报和研究局(INR)跟战略服务办公室(OSS)是联系在一起的，但是战争结束后被移交给国家。INR现在直接向国务卿（国务秘书）汇报，利用来自所有渠道的情报，提供对全球事件的独立分析和实时见解。

Headquarters: Washington, D.C.

总部：哥伦比亚特区，华盛顿

Mission: This agency serves as the Secretary of State's primary advisor on intelligence matters, and gives support to other policymakers, ambassadors, and embassy staff.

Air Force Intelligence provides reconnaissance for US ground troops.

空军情报机构给美国陆军提供侦察情报

U.S. Air Force

Formerly known as the Air Intelligence Agency, the agency is now known as the Air Force ISR — Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance. Air Force intelligence was established in 1948 to get information to troops on the ground, and most recently, the ISR has collected that intelligence from aerial drones.

原名空军情报局，现在这个机构命名为空军ISR（情报，监视，侦察）。空军情报构建立于1948年，给地面部队提供情报，最近ISR已经开始通过航空无人机收集情报。

Headquarters: Lackland Air Force Base, Texas

总部：德克萨斯，拉克兰空军基地

Mission: Air Force ISR collects and analyzes intelligence on foreign nations and hostile forces, both in and out of combat zones. They also conduct electronic and photographic surveillance, and provide weather and mapping data to troops in the field.

任务：空军ISR收集和分析外国和敌对势力的情报，无论是否交战区。他们也进行电子和摄影监视，并且提供天气和地图数据给现场的部队。

Budget: Unknown. The budget of ISR apparently falls under the Air Force's Operation & Maintenance budget, which includes other areas outside of the agency's scope such as flying operations and logistics. That number for 2012, however, was just over $46 million.

预算：未知。ISR的预算表面上隶属于空军行动与维护预算，这些预算包括了这个机构之外的领域，比如飞行行动和物流。然而在2012年的数字刚刚超过了4,600万美金。

The FBI's National Security Branch oversees counterterrorism and intelligence gathering.

联邦调查局（FBI）的国家安全部门负责反恐和情报搜集。

AP Images

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Security Branch (NSB) was established in 2005, combining resources that include counterterrorism, counter-intelligence, weapons of mass destruction, and intelligence under a single FBI leader.

联邦调查局的国家安全部门(NSB)建立于2005年，结合了包括反恐，反情报，大规模杀伤性武器和隶属于独立FBI领导者的情报等多种资源。

Headquarters: Washington, D.C.

总部：哥伦比亚特区，华盛顿

Mission: Formed after 9/11 and the Iraq WMD commission — when intelligence agencies were not sharing data with each other — the NSB integrates intel on national security and criminal threats from a variety of sources that are often intertwined in order to protect U.S. interests.

任务：9/11以后和伊拉克大规模杀伤性武器委员会一起建立——当时情报机构互相不分享数据——NSB把国家安全和犯罪威胁的情报集合在一起，这些情报来源于多种多样的为了保护美国利益而常被纠缠在一起的原始资料。

（译注：这句话中的intel翻译的我很纠结，我专门去看了FBI的网站，他们的mission如下，根据原文我猜测这里intel是intelligence的简写…）

Mission

The FBI’s national security mission is to lead and coordinate intelligence efforts that drive actions to protect the United States.

联邦调查局（FBI）的国家安全的使命是领导和协调情报工作，推动保护美国的行动。

Our goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the threats and penetrate national and transnational networks that have a desire and capability to harm us. Such networks include: terrorist organizations, foreign intelligence services, those that seek to proliferate weapons of mass destruction, and criminal enterprises.

我们的目标是展开对威胁的全面了解，渗透渴望和有能力伤害我们的国家和跨国网络。这些网络包括：恐怖组织，外国情报机构，那些设法扩散大规模杀伤性武器的组织和违法企业。

In order to be successful, we must understand the threat, continue to integrate our intelligence and law enforcement capabilities in every FBI operational program, and continue to expand our contribution to the Intelligence Community knowledge base.

为了取得胜利，我们必须了解威胁，在每一个FBI的行动计划里继续整合我们的情报和执法能力，并继续扩大我们对于情报界信息库的贡献。

Because national security and criminal threats are often intertwined, our ability to integrate intelligence and investigations makes us uniquely situated to address our nation’s threats and vulnerabilities.

因为国家安全和犯罪威胁通常是纠缠在一起的，我们集合情报和调查的能力使我们在处理国家面临的威胁和弱点时处于独一无二的地位。）

Budget: Total FBI budget was approximately $8.1 billion in 2012, which included an increase of $119 million "to enhance our counterterrorism, computer intrusions, and other programs," according to their website.

预算：根据他们的网站，2012年，整个FBI的预算大概是81亿美金，包括增加1.19亿美金去“增
