I have just been informed that the Defense Mapping Agency is now NATIONAL IMAGERY AND MAPPING AGENCY. (Notice to Mariners no.40 1996 5 October: "Published weekly by the Defense Mapping Agency" Notice to Mariners no.41 1996 12 October: "Published weekly by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency") Must be true, eh? Hope the University of California at Santa Barbara Map & Imagery Laboratory doesn't mind. - PML ----- >Subject: DMA NAME CHANGE, message 2 Johnnie: Please afix this to my previous message about the DMA name change. Here is what is said in Notice to Mariners no.41: "Effective October 01, 1996 the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) joins the Department of Defense's newest combat support agency, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), which was created unde the authority of the Fiscal Year 1997 Defense Authorization Bill. NIMA consolidates imagery and geospatial resources and management into a single, streamlined DoD agency to provide timely, relevant, and accurate imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information in support of national security objectives. All products, services and points of contact provided by DMA will remain the same under NIMA."
