The NSA is a branch of the DOD. Up until recently (18-30 months ago) NSA employees were only allowed to identify themselves as employees of DoD. It was common knowledge, that unspecific references to Fort Meade meant NSA; and if you saw a P.O. from Procurement Office, Fort Meade, it meant the NSA was buying it. /r$

No, it is a civilian organization within the DOD. The CIA is a civilian organization outside of the DOD. Although it appears Deutch is trying to change all of that as we speak, and Inman wants to abolish the CIA altogether.
