The headquarters of the CIA is located in Langley, Virginia, USA. Together with the Soviet National Security Council (KGB), British MI 6 and Israel Mossad, it is called "the four major intelligence agencies in the world". Its main task is to openly and secretly collect and analyze information about foreign governments, companies, terrorist organizations, individuals, politics, culture, science and technology, coordinate the activities of other domestic intelligence agencies, and report this information to the work of various departments of the US government.

The CIA is divided into four main parts: intelligence department, management department, operation department and science and technology department.
