No - the CIA is an independent agency within the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government. It is not uncommon, however, to have an active duty military officer (must be 4-star rank) to be appointed as the CIA's head, as there are provisions in U.S. law for serving military officers to be appointed to civilian agency posts. The most recent examples are General David Petraeus, newly appointed head of the CIA; and former General Colin Powell, who served as National Security Advisor to President Reagan while still a serving Army officer.
