- ↑ A "Center" or "Mission Center" in the CIA is a crossfunctional level of organization. The CIA is divided into five major directorates, and several functionally oriented centers including the Special Activities Center. The major difference between a Directorate and Centers within the CIA is that the centers bring together people from all five CIA directorates and include officers from other intelligence agencies.
