• The plan shutters or consolidates the Foreign Malign Influence Center, the National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center, and the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center, moving core functions to Mission Integration or the National Intelligence Council.
• The National Intelligence University will shift to the Defense Department’s National Defense University under a directive signed by Gabbard and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
