"Effective 1 October 1996, the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) joins the
Department of Defense's (DoD) newest combat support agency, the National
Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), which was created under 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."
 
From a notice to DMA contractors dated 1 October 1996.
 
Seems that the new name is pronounced "neema".

Hello.
 
The Defense Mapping Agency is now NIMA.  Word of the coming change had
been issued this past winter in the premier issue of NAVIGATOR (v.1/n.1
Winter 1996).
 
Hope this helps.
