About the show

DIA Connections is an exciting new podcast featuring overlooked or unfamiliar aspects of who we are, what we do, and the countless ways we've impacted the lives of people everywhere.

Our team at DIA deploys globally, alongside warfighters and interagency partners, to defend America's national security interests. However, we are so much more, as this podcast series will reveal.
