The DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) was officially designated a Field Operating Agency (FOA) by the Secretary of the Air Force, effective Jan. 15, 2021, with an associated activation ceremony earlier today at the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) Headquarters, Quantico, Va. Since its founding 23 years ago, DC3 has operated as a unit aligned under OSI. As a FOA, DC3 is now aligned as a separate agency under the Inspector General, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force.
 

The Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Crime Center (DC3) and the National Defense Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ND-ISAC) have entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to explore new processes between DoD and ND-ISAC, to develop better methods to combat cyber threats to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
