The National Security Agency is reportedly set to undergo extensive internal restructuring, its first in at least a decade.

The overhaul is being reported by The Washington Post, based on information from NSA officials.

The restructuring will create five new organizations with the agency focused on artificial intelligence, China, cybersecurity, combat support and global intelligence, the officials said.

Each new organization will be led by a "mission director."

NSA Director Joshua Rudd said the goal of the restructuring is to better align the agency with current and future priorities, said the officials who spoke with The Post.
