"The wholesale reorganization of CIA analytical activities, both within the Agency itself and within the wider intelligence and defense community, prompted DCI Smith to create the Deputy Directorate of Intelligence (DI). The DI would serve as the overall organization for analytical
activities within the CIA. Veteran analyst Loftus Becker became the first Deputy Director for Intelligence on 2 January 1952. The new directorate contained six offices — all overt — the Office of Collection and Dissemination, the Office of Scientific Intelligence, the Office of
National Estimates, the Office of Research and Reports, the Office of Current Intelligence, and the Office of Intelligence Coordination. The
addition of another group, the Office of Operations, completed the CIA’s analytical overhaul in late February 1952. The analytical capabilities of CIA continued to grow in quality, respect, budget and personnel through the remainder of the Korean War and by December 1953, the Directorate of Intelligence contained some ten times the number of
trained analysts as had existed in June 1950."
Hmmm, this reminds me of something… Massive intelligence failure… tasked "reform"… massive apparatus and bloat is the outcome… almost reminds me of 9/11. Sound familiar?
