china, iran, north korea. our structure, the fitf structure, bears some resemblance to the fbi's joint terrorism task force, which exists at fbi headquarters in very large fashion but also in all 56 of our field offices. however, while we do work side-by-side with detailed these from various federal agencies in the fitf, our internal structure is a little bit different. the fitf combines personal from across the fbi, including special agents come intelligence, analysts and other professional staff from the fbi's counterintelligence, the cyber, counterterrorism, and criminal divisions. our multi-division task force has the authority to mandate to bridge all fbi programs and equities to combat this threat. in addition to investigative operations in broad intelligence sharing across our state and local partners, the fitf also works hard to build strong partnerships with the private sector's and academia. the fitf management team meets irregularly with social media and tech companies. when appropriate, the fbi pro
