The National Intelligence Strategy of the United States of America (NIS) is a product of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence ( DNI). [1] Drafted and implemented in 2005 while John Negroponte served as the DNI, it describes the drastic overhaul the United States (US) intelligence community will carry out. According to this strategy, the US intelligence community will create a new system for sharing information, while integrating its existing enterprises to meet its mission objectives and enterprise objectives. The changes to the intelligence community, including changes in tasking, derive from the 2002 US National Security Strategy. The legal basis for the new strategy is derived from the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004.
The NIS was updated in 2009 under DNI Blair. [2]
The NIS was updated in 2014 by DNI James Clapper. [3] A notable change was inclusion of the "Principles of Professional Ethics for the Intelligence Community".
The legal basis for the NIS is the US Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. The NIS identifies fifteen strategic objectives from the new legislation, grouping them into two separate sets of objectives.
The NIS states that Mission Objectives [4]: 4

In October 2007, the NIS began execution under the 500-Day Plan. Like the 100-Day Plan, its focus was on integration and collaboration. According to the 500-Day Plan, it aimed to drive integration and foster collaboration, "ultimately leading to better mission performance." [6]: 2 Integration is at the heart of the NIS and the 500-Day Plan was how the transition would be executed. The Plan was a program targeted at managers, which addressed "long-standing modes, practices, and behaviors." [6]: 16 Another key feature of the 500-Day Plan was the implementation of an EXCOM, which was to be provided to leadership through this transformation period. According to Dr. Donald Kerr, Principle Deputy Director of National Intelligence, the 500-Day Plan took "into account the recommendations already made, [and] build[s] on the progress already achieved" by the 100-Day Plan.
