The Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), initially established by the Department of Defense's (DoD) Directive 5105.40 in 1972, played a pivotal role in the consolidation of mapping functions. Though DMA was phased into the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in 2003, staying informed about its historical and current impacts is crucial for various professions. With its evolution, the agency's legacy has influenced the landscape of geospatial intelligence significantly.
