The Civilian Defense Agency (CDA) is a civilian U.S. and foreign intelligence service and defense agency, tasked by other agencies, organizations, and sometimes private parties with gathering, processing and analyzing intelligence information from around the world, providing operational intelligence services and defense related tasks and operations, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT).
The CDA has no law enforcement function and is mainly focused on intelligence gathering and providing tactical mission critical operations. The CDA also provides services for various U.S. based law enforcement agencies, search and rescue agencies and contract services for various government entities both state and Federal.
The CDA has increasingly expanded its roles, including covert paramilitary operations, counter-terrorism, offensive cyber-operations.
