However, external threat from foreign military led to the creation of Directorate of Forces Intelligence (DFI) in 1972. The role of DFI was only limited to sharing intelligence with the Armed Forces. Under Major General Ziaur Rahman's presidency, on 24 August 1976 DFI was improved and rechristened as Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI), which led to a massive modification in the organizational structure of the agency, and the agency was transformed from Defensive to an Offensive Intelligence Unit. In 1978, DGFI headquarters was relocated to Dhaka Cantonment from Bailey Road. According to analysts, the structure of DGFI is a close resemblance of Inter-Services Intelligence. Captain K.M Aminul Islam was appointed as the first Director General of DGFI. Since then, DGFI serves as the principal Intelligence Unit of Bangladesh Armed Forces. In 1994, DGFI's organizational structure was reformed, and since then DGFI has transformed into the primary Intelligence Agency in Bangladesh, alongside National Security Intelligence. The recruitment of DGFI is undertaken by the Armed Forces and the Director General is appointed the President with recommendation from the Chief of Army Staff. The DGFI was structured to be manned by officers from the three main military services, to specialize in the collection, analysis and assessment of Military intelligence. Over the years, DGFI's role have transformed to both military and non-military intelligence gathering as the agency is active in more than 40 countries worldwide. DGFI Headquarters was permanently relocated inside a 14th Storied Tower near Rajanigantha Area inside Dhaka Cantonment in 2006. Current DGFI Director, Major General Mohammad Akbar Hossain is the 24th Director General of the Agency, since he took over his assignment on 10 March 2013 succeeding Major General Sheikh Mamun Khaled .〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Directorate General of Forces Intelligence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
