The landscape of global security is evolving, and our Reserve intelligence forces are evolving with it.

DIA Director Lt. Gen. James Adams recently joined leaders from across the Joint Reserve Intelligence Centers, Combatant Command J2s, and other DoW components at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for the Joint Reserve Intelligence Program (JRIP) leadership conference. Centered on the theme "Ready 27," the conference established a strategic roadmap to modernize capabilities and ensure our total force is agile, integrated and fully prepared for the national security challenges of 2027 and beyond.

During his keynote, Lt. Gen. Adams emphasized the vital impact of our Reserve and National Guard professionals, stating that JRIP’s success is due to the high caliber of the people who execute the mission.

By prioritizing rapid mobilization and technological modernization across all 27 Joint Reserve Intelligence Centers, we are ensuring that the Department of War maintains a combat-ready posture in every environment.
