Army Master Sgt. Vida Kwarteng, non-commissioned officer-in-charge and executive assistant at the DCSA Background Investigations Directorate, is among the military reservists on active duty who are making an impact across the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, which comprises more than 8,000 government civilians and defense contractors.

“I ensure that all administrative actions, as well as taskers, are complete and all products are presented at the highest standards on behalf of the Background Investigations Directorate,” said Kwarteng, who serves as executive assistant to the BI director in support of the BI Executive Secretary Team’s administrative functions.

“I’ve learned to take a different approach in requesting information or input,” Kwarteng recounted. “The military approach is extremely direct and that can be taken a different way in a more civilian-lead organization. My DCSA tour of duty has certainly helped in expanding my range of professionalism. This opportunity allowed me to see another area of contributions toward defense that I was completely unaware of, and how it directly impacts our national security.”
