The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency harnesses geospatial intelligence (imagery, intelligence and other information about features, objects and activities on Earth) for our nation’s security. Geospatial intelligence, once almost exclusively within the purview of large nation states and the U.S. government, has become increasingly available, accessible and useful to other countries, industries and private citizens. This growing trend presents extraordinary challenges and opportunities and interesting legal issues.
Monheim, a retired colonel from the U.S. Air Force Reserves, previously served as deputy general counsel at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, senior legal counsel at the National Counterterrorism Center, associate deputy attorney general at the Department of Justice and associate counsel at the White House. His prior military service includes time as a prosecutor, defense counsel, military judge, deputy general counsel at the White House Military Office and Senior Individual Mobilization Augmentee. He was mobilized in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and again with a Joint Special Operations Task Force in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
