The NSA is directed by at least a lieutenant general or vice admiral. NSA is a key component of the U.S. Intelligence Community, which is headed by the Director of National Intelligence. The Central Security Service is a co-located agency created to coordinate intelligence activities and co-operation between NSA and other U.S. military cryptanalysis agencies. The Director of the National Security Agency serves as the Commander of the United States Cyber Command and Chief of the Central Security Service.[2] By law, NSA's intelligence gathering is limited to foreign communications, although domestic incidents such as the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy have occurred. Old agency jokes say that NSA means No Such Agency or Never Say Anything.[3] The National Security Agency is divided into two major missions: the Signals Intelligence Directorate (SID), which produces foreign signals intelligence information, and the Information Assurance Directorate (IAD), which protects U.S. information systems.[4] Other Facilities NSA had facilities at Friendship Annex (FANX) in Linthicum, Maryland, which is a 20 to 25 minute drive from Ft. Meade;[35] the Aerospace Data Facility at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora outside Denver, Colorado; NSA Texas in the Texas Cryptology Center at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas; NSA Georgia at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia; NSA Hawaii in Honolulu, the Multiprogram Research Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and elsewhere.[33][27] In 2004, the NSA closed its operations at Bad Aibling Station (Field Station 81) in Bad Aibling, Germany.[36] (REF:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency) NOTE: Never personally given any of the coins.
