2LT Vineyard, Ryan 31MAR2014 The Modern Military Intelligence Officer as a Professional The modern Military Intelligence professional needs to be an expert in his trade. Core competencies include commanding and controlling Military Intelligence Soldiers and combined armed forces during combat and intelligence gathering operations. Additionally, an MI officer must be able to coordinate employment of Military Intelligence Soldiers at all levels of command, from platoon to battalion and higher in U
As far as intelligence agencies go, there are a few that are common household names, like the CIA, NSA, and the FBI. Another agency that is still a major player, and has recently been the subject of much discussion and controversy is the DIA . The reason for this controversy and debate is because many people, both inside and outside of the IC , view the DIA as an agency that is no longer necessary within the IC. Although the DIA has shifted its focus in recent years, crossing over significantly into
for the apprehension of the British spy Major John André.” Each of the vital pieces of intelligence discovered by the Culper Ring was a different form of information. One was a piece of counter intelligence, one was regarding troop movements, and one was information about the British’s planning for
Introduction Technical intelligence collection technology since the end of World War II expanded to meet national policy makers’ needs in a growing, more diverse geopolitical environment. Airborne Signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection is a growing means to close intelligence gaps that fulfill policymaker’s needs. Since the 1960s, the United States (US) and Britain were the primary governments with such capability (Streetly 2010). Today many nations in Asia maintain an airborne SIGINT collection
States Embassy in a foreign country and said that they know someone was going to use a plane to destroy New York in two days, could this have stopped the attack? Intelligence Analysis puts the raw sources of information together, make predictions based on the data, and finally publish the results. Stephane Lefebvre wrote that “ intelligence analysis is the process of evaluating and transforming raw data acquired covertly into descriptions, explanations, and judgments for policy consumers” (236).
defined as a battalion intelligence staff. Operations include ground forces visually conducting operations in a infantry battalion at Baghdad, Iraq. Irregular warfare provides a defining amount of visualization on the enemy threat. The tactical level of intelligence will exist on BN S2 battle rhythm, lethal targeting process, system applications and usage, and intelligence assets. This definition shares in a tradition for dominating target development. The BN S2 intelligence superiority is defined
INTELLIGENCE REPORTING AND SECURITY Intelligence report writing takes a lot of preparation before finalizing or conducting a brief. There are many different techniques that can be used to present information that has been discovered during an intelligence investigation. Various charts can be used to analyze the timelines, criminal activities, financial activities, or biographical profiles to prove or disprove lawful conduct of the individual or the organization. The activity flow chart shows the
arguments against using autonomous weapons, I found four main arguments. The first argument against autonomous robots is the idea of an inevitable arms race and revolution. Countries will inevitably race to develop stronger and more powerful artificial intelligence. This has the potential to create different cold wars between countries in the future. Autonomous robots will become the ?new nuclear race.? The second argument against autonomous robots is, the power to life over death. Robots will not be fully
The military has had major changes since the very first organized battles. So as a branch of the military, artillery has also faced such improvements throughout the centuries. It seems that the inventions and developments we are practicing today will continue to affect the military, and artillery as an integrated part of military. In the past, artillery was used to represent the fire support function. In ancient times arrow and bows, polybolos, ballistas, and catapults were used as means of fire
To achieve these goals, policy makers use the assistance of foreign policy instruments. The instruments include intelligence gathering, diplomacy, the use of military force, covert action, economic statecraft and cultural and moral influences (18). The instruments fall into two different categories, either hard power or soft power. Hard power is the use of force in the way of military threats and economic incentives or punishments. Likewise, soft power attempts to attain one’s goal without the use
Command (LANTCOM), failed to convey the commander’s intent to the joint force for Operation Urgent Fury. This failure promoted misunderstanding and mutual trust issues among the joint force that affected the integration of joint functions such as intelligence and sustainment. ADM McDonald failed to clearly and concisely convey his commander’s intent express to the joint force. The commander must clearly and concisely express what the force must do and the conditions the force must establish to accomplish
these countries 5 intelligence disciplines to determine which country poses the biggest threat to U.S. national security. China poses the greatest threat to the United States national security. The first intelligence discipline I will compare is HUMINT. Humint is defined as Intelligence gathered from human sources. All three of these countries have a proven track record of using HUMINT sources to their advantage including the use of espionage. Iran Ministry of Intelligence has grown to its
working a blue-collar job. An additional issue Rose brings up is the assumption many people make, that intellect is defined by the level of education a job requires. Rose addresses this naive assumption when he states, “Affirmation of diverse intelligence is not a retreat to a softhearted definition of the mind. To acknowledge a broader range of intellectual capacity is to take seriously the concept of cognitive variability” (283). Basically, Rose is advocating for society to accept that wisdom
United States Army Weapons Intelligence Teams (WIT) play a crucial role in the intelligence gathering of the weapons systems that the enemy employs on today’s battlefield. It is because of these specialized teams of Soldiers and the unique skills they possess that we, as an Army, have been able to develop and implement Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) that have saved countless American and Coalition Forces lives. The very first Weapons Intelligence Teams began their initial training
with the US. By appeasing US relations we can insure they do not send troops to support the UK. A US backed army can make or break the results of the war. Along with Diplomatic measure, our information and intelligence are strategic aspects that can win the war for the Empire. The intelligence on the US can aid in our preparation for battle. Our morale is sinking but increased propaganda and promotion of our values and objectives can revitalize our soldiers and citizens to support the war effort
out of harm’s way (para. 6). They keep the boots of American soldiers hundreds or thousands of miles away and allow the pilots and intelligence experts time to positively identify the target or targets and take safe, effective shots. Keeping American soldiers out of harm’s way is pivotal in today’s war on terror. This “war” is not with a country or an established military, but with an ideology. The enemies are not
Earning the way into the Army’s Green Berets, a branch of the Army’s Special Forces, is no easy task. Being a part of a military service as prestigious as the Green Berets branch in the Special Forces is a great aspiration. The great leadership skills, intelligence, and overall drive it takes for a person to achieve this type of rank in the Armed Forces is something that are greatly admired in the United States. This elite group offers safety and security to the citizens of the United States and
cryptic intelligence. The creation of covert intelligence was crucial to maintaining order within ranks and strategic planning. However, discovery of this intelligence could just as easily reveal dire secrets to one’s enemies. Because the Enigma cipher was so widely used and trusted in by the Germans due to its mechanical nature, the solution to the cipher posed by Alan Turing provided the Allies with invaluable information that changed the course of the war. Although military intelligence obtained
various departments of the U.S. military (“Pre-1952 Historical Timeline”). The first establishment was the U.S. Navy Code and Signal Section beginning in 1916 (“Pre-1952 Historical Timeline”). These began during World War I in order to assist with code-breaking and intelligence. The Army established its own intelligence section called the U.S. Army Code and Cipher Section in 1917 (Pre-1952 Historical Timeline”). As communication means advanced and the need for intelligence increased, the Navy created
analyzed in order to produce intelligence. The intelligence warfighting function allows the commander to plan, prepare, assess, and execute operations. Intelligence is a necessary process to conducting unified land operations because it provides support to commanders by disseminating information from all sources about the current operations and developing situations. Intelligence allows commanders to understand the situation and assist in decision making. The intelligence effort provides information
