National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office

The National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office (NMIO) is a United States Navy entity located in the National Maritime Intelligence Center (NMIC) Facility in Suitland, Maryland, southeast of Washington, D.C. In 1991, the NMIC was built on the location of 3 baseball fields used by the Census Bureau at the Suitland Federal Center.

The NMIO's mission is to:

Advance maritime intelligence integration, information sharing, and domain awareness to foster unity of effort for decision advantage that protects the United States, its allies, and partners against threats in or emanating from the global maritime domain.

The office was established due to guidance from the 9/11 Commission, the Intelligence Reform and Terror Prevention Act (IRTPA), Presidential directives, and maritime security plans. Its goal is to support national policymakers and decision-makers on naval issues and act as directed by ODNI Strategic Guidance to create unity of effort and position leaders for decision advantage decisively and efficiently. The office focuses on collaboration between federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, acting in concert with the U.S. Government's international partners and representatives from the private sector and academia.

NMIO is co-located with the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), the Naval Information Warfare Activity (NIWA), and the Coast Guard Intelligence Coordination Center (ICC).
