The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is NATO’s principal C3 capability deliverer and CIS service provider.

The NCI Agency workforce strategically consists of three major categories: NATO International Civilians (NICs), Military (Mil), and Interim Workforce Consultants (IWC).
