Training the Intelligence Team
At all unit levels, especially strategic, the Army requires highly trained intelligence soldiers that are knowledgeable in all intelligence disciplines. The flattened access to the Intelligence Enterprise requires all intelligence soldiers to be trained and knowledgeable on all facets of the intelligence cycle. To produce knowledgeable and well rounded intelligence soldiers, the institutional training base must reflect and provide a multi-disciplined intelligence training environment based on what works.
Leader development and soldier training have not kept pace with improvements in the ability to support the commander with intelligence. Most importantly, DCGS-A training is intelligence training and not just systems training. The DCGS-A provides an opportunity to implement and push intelligence training to a new level of situational awareness for the GCC. Individual proficiency coupled with a structured collective training plan and increased operational activity will allow the IE to develop its leaders. The development of the intelligence analyst has to stay abreast of advances in doctrine, organization, technology, to include incorporation of ground up ideas and fixes. Important to effective training and leader development is being able to leverage access to the intelligence enterprise and multi-disciplined intelligence data. By training to access the data through DCGS-A and apply it to the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP), TIG/MIBs in support of GAF and GRF can better enable situational understanding and drive military operations.
The institutional training on DCGS-A provides the foundation to improve intelligence training across the Army. The US Army Intelligence Center of Excell...

...nd TTPs that best support the RAF, while positioning organic assets and posturing to support expeditionary operations and GRF partnerships. This will require GCCs to enforce the MIB transformation in order to meet and provide the intelligence support necessary to meet the expectations of the Army and Joint Force. As both the TIB and MIB adjust to the changes in theater and strategic support relationships, federation of intelligence resources must focus on land, sea, air, space and cyber requirements. Furthering collaboration with the GRF, advancing analytics and shared training opportunities will enable the Army’s ability to react to regionally aligned contingencies. The theater MIBs continue developing new and innovative approaches to regional aligned force integration; finding greater efficiencies in federated analytics and structured requirements management.

    In examining the military history, one can easily find out that the main role of military leaders in the field is to decrease confusion and to guide units to achieve the desired end state. In accomplishing these tasks, Situational Understanding and Visualization have become necessary steps especially in today’s complex environment. This importance legitimates the question about their relationship between these two steps and the challenges facing leaders to achieve situational understanding and visualization. Commander’s visualization depends on Situational understanding. Leader’s success in these two phases remains conditioned by overcoming some challenges related to his bias, time and the efficiency of his staff.

  • Army Profession Of Arms Essay

    However, development starts day one with training. Therefore, the Soldiers have to be experts who have assumed the character and identity of the profession; professionalism in Soldiers enables them to perform their duties with lots of motivation and inspiration. For example, 42A - The Human Resources (HR) Sergeant supervises, performs personnel and administrative functions in support of company, battery, and troop; detachments at division, corps, and echelons above corps must master their skill level in an effort to be a subject matter expert in their profession. The functions of Human Resource support four fundamental competencies: Man the Force (ex. Strength reporting), Provide HR Services (ex. Postal operations), Coordinate Personnel Support (ex. Morale, welfare, and Recreation), and Conduct HR Planning and Operations (ex. Planning and operations) in which a HR personnel must accomplish to support the mission. As a result, a professional Soldier should meet very high standards of a profession, for example character, competence, expertise and morality to fulfil their HR role. These standards are attained through rigorous training, development, and educating the Soldiers on how to serve the nation and the constitution as professionals. After nine years of war, which erupted from 9/11 we assess the attributes

    Sir, I am honored by the privilege to once again serve in 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). Over of the last 30 days, I had an opportunity to reconnect, and reflect on the current state of the Brigade. The 4th ABCT has a rich history of success and glory. It is my goal to put in place the systems and practices for this great organization to exceed all past and present accomplishments. As a result of my assessment, I identified three areas of focus that will improve our organization: a unit vision, a change in organizational culture and climate, and building organizational teams. I have no doubt that with the implementation of these three areas of focus, I will be the transformational leader that 4th ABCT needs as we prepare for the upcoming National Training Center (NTC) rotation and tackle the task of the Regionally Aligned Forces (RAF) mission.

  • Analysis of Defense Intelligence Agency

    988 Words  | 2 Pages

    The DIA started in 1958. The organizational structure of the DoD and U.S. foreign intelligence came to a new shape with the establishment of DIA. It was Robert McNamara, then Secretary of Defense, who came up with the concept of DIA in 1961. DIA gathers human source intelligence, analyzes technical intelligence, distributes intelligence/reports to the intelligence agencies, provides advice and support to the Joint Chiefs of Staff with foreign military intelligence, and provides military intelligence to combatant commands as its operational functions. A DIA director is supposed to be a three-star military general and DIA is believed to have employed at least 7,500 staff worldwide today. The DIA is a defense intelligence agency that prevents strategic surprises and delivers a decision advantage to warfighters, defense planners, and to policymakers. This paper will try to evaluate DIA’s role in US national security in present condition of massive budget deficits and increased congressional oversight, plus the intelligence capabilities of the Regional Combatant Commanders and the individual services like CIA and NSA.

  • Essay On Military Decision Making Process

    1605 Words  | 4 Pages

    Leaders today need to have an appreciation for the operation process, understand a situation, envision a desired future, and to lay out an approach that will achieve that future (Flynn & Schrankel, 2013). Plans need to be created that can be modified to changes in any factors considered. However, plans should not be dependent on specific information being precise or that require things to go exactly according to schedule. Instead, the staff NCO should be flexible where they can and always be prepared for the unexpected. Today’s military members are fighting an unconventional war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The enemy constantly changes their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP’s) to counter the United States technological advances, making planning very difficult for leaders. There are multiple tools at a staff NCO’s disposal to try to anticipate an outcome of a current operation, but also assist with the development of concepts in follow-on missions. The Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) is just one tool a staff NCO can utilize. In order to stay ahead of the enemy, create effective plans and orders, it is critical for a staff NCO to assist the commander, and understand that the MDMP and planning are essential in defeating the enemy and conserving the fighting force.

  • The Strengths and Weaknesses of Joint Warfare

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    Armed with numerous studies, and intensive public hearings, Congress mandated far-reaching changes in DOD organization and responsibilities in the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. This landmark legislation significantly expanded the authority and responsibility of the chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. Included in this expanded authority and responsibility was the requirement for the chairman to develop a doctrine for the joint employment of armed forces. As operations Urgent Fury, Just Cause, and Desert Storm have vividly demonstrated, the realities of armed conflict in today's world make the integration of individual service capabilities a matter of success or failure, life or death. Furthermore, the operation Desert One demonstrated the need for a strengthened Joint Warfare Doctrine and the consequent change in Joint Warfare Employment. It is plain to see the benefits of having the greatest navy integrated with the world's greatest army and air force. However, even in the wake of a relatively successful joint operation in the Middle East (Desert Storm), certain weaknesses are evident in the current joint employment tactics and/or capabilities. By analyzing past operations such as Urgent Fury and Desert Storm, we are able to see sufficient evidence that the Joint Warfare Concept can be disastrous in one instance and virtually flawless in another.
