Book excerpt: Centuries ago Sun Tzu wrote ?Know the enemy as you know yourself?. The urgency of this maxim is even greater today. A commander who boldly determines- without knowledge of the enemy or the battleground- to close tit the doe and destroy him wherever he might be, is like a boxer who is in the ring blindfolded. This book is written primarily for commanders, because intelligence is for commanders. Intelligence is not an academic exercise nor is it an end in itself. The prime purpose of intelligence is to help the commander make a decision, and thereby to proceed more accurately and more confidently with the accomplishment of his mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally the military community held the intelligence profession in low esteem, spying was seen as dirty work and information was all to often ignored if it conflicted with a commander's own view. Handel examines the ways in which this situation has improved and argues that co-operation between the intelligence adviser and the military decision maker is vital.

Download or read book World War I and the Origins of U S Military Intelligence written by James L. Gilbert and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In World War I and the Origins of U.S. Military Intelligence, military historian James L. Gilbert provides an authoritative overview of the birth of modern Army intelligence. Following the natural division of the intelligence war, which was fought on both the home front and overseas, Gilbert traces the development and use of intelligence and counterintelligence through the eyes of their principal architects: General Dennis E. Nolan and Colonel Ralph Van Deman. Gilbert explores how on the home front, US Army counterintelligence faced both internal and external threats that began with the Army’s growing concerns over the loyalty of resident aliens who were being drafted into the ranks and soon evolved into the rooting out of enemy saboteurs and spies intent on doing great harm to America’s war effort. To achieve their goals, counterintelligence personnel relied upon major strides in the areas of code breaking and detection of secret inks. Overseas, the intelligence effort proved far more extensive in terms of resources and missions, even reaching into nearby neutral countries. Intelligence within the American Expeditionary Forces was heavily indebted to its Allied counterparts who not only provided an organizational blueprint but also veteran instructors and equipment needed to train newly arriving intelligence specialists. Rapid advances by American intelligence were also made possible by the appointment of competent leaders and the recruitment of highly motivated and skilled personnel; likewise, the Army’s decision to assign the bulk of its linguists to support intelligence proved critical. World War I would witness the linkage between intelligence and emerging technologies—from the use of cameras in aircraft to the intercept of enemy radio transmissions. Equally significant was the introduction of new intelligence disciplines—from exploitation of captured equipment to the translation of enemy documents. These and other functions that emerged from World War I would continue to the present to provide military intelligence with the essential tools necessary to support the Army and the nation. World War I and the Origins of U.S. Military Intelligence is ideal not only for students and scholars of military history and World War I, but will also appeal to any reader interested in how modern intelligence operations first evolved.

Download or read book G 2 written by Oscar W. Koch and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 1999-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enigmatic science of military intelligence is examined in this personal record, written by Brig.Gen. Oscar W. Koch, who served during World War II as chief of intelligence for General George S. Patton, Jr., one of the most colorful military leaders in American history. General Koch traces the growth and development of the infant science through detailed accounts of the intelligence role in some of the most celebrated battles of the war, and through his personal remembrances of Patton and his relationships with members of his intelligence staff. His story moves from the African campaign through Sicily, into France on D-Day and on to the Battle of the Bulge, pointing out how the work of the intelligence staff made the differences in the final reckoning. General Kochs book is more than a historical study, however. It is the exciting story of the operations behind the cloak and dagger illusions.

Download or read book Mission Command and the Intelligence Commander in Chaos Lies Opportunity written by Darius D. Ervin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Army’s approach to mission command is more than good leadership; it requires sound systems and processes to address the science of control. The intelligence commander is responsible for command and control. Commanders arrange people, processes, and networks into command posts to best facilitate their exercise of authority and direction to accomplish the mission. The commander owns the mission and underwrites risk. With the recent updates to ADP 6-0, the publication of the Army Intelligence Enterprise framework and Army Intelligence Plan 2019, and continued dialogue on mission command, now is the time to evolve intelligence doctrine, adapt leader development to grow future commanders (not just “2s”), and refine our training for the multi-domain environment. Current US Army Intelligence Center of Excellence’s leader development model focuses on building intelligence professionals that supplement the maneuver commander’s operation process, the framework for exercising command and control. Today’s Joint and US Army doctrine outlines the means to support mission command against all threats in MDO but limit discussion on how the intelligence commander conducts mission command for their organization. This research draws upon two qualitative sources to identify foundational principles of effective intelligence mission command: interviews and my experience as the 202nd Military Intelligence Battalion Commander, and a qualitative assessment of leadership and mission command literature, doctrine, and policy documents. Ultimately, this research proposes a useful, flexible model that can be institutionalized across multiple intelligence organizations to replace a personality-driven model. Lastly, this paper offers six recommendations across the institutional, operational, and individual domains to help guide commanders in balancing the art of command and the science of control and ultimately drive intelligence operations."--Abstract.

Download or read book Intelligence in War written by John Keegan and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2003-10-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterly look at the value and limitations of intelligence in the conduct of war from the premier military historian of our time, John Keegan. Intelligence gathering is an immensely complicated and vulnerable endeavor. And it often fails. Until the invention of the telegraph and radio, information often traveled no faster than a horse could ride, yet intelligence helped defeat Napoleon. In the twentieth century, photo analysts didn’t recognize Germany’s V-2 rockets for what they were; on the other hand, intelligence helped lead to victory over the Japanese at Midway. In Intelligence in War, John Keegan illustrates that only when paired with force has military intelligence been an effective tool, as it may one day be in besting al-Qaeda.

Download or read book The Official U S Army Counterintelligence Handbook written by Department of the Army and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CIA is at the top of a cosmology of government and private concerns known collectively as the intelligence community. One of the most important components of this community is the U.S. Army Intelligence Center. Its mission is to provide information to commanders at all levels in the U.S. Army so that they are able to determine the capabilities of a foreign foe or act quickly on accurate, up-to-date intelligence. Now for the first time ever, the recently declassified U.S. Army Counterintelligence Handbook provides a rare look into the specialized and secretive world of military intelligence and counterintelligence procedure. Counterintelligence comprises efforts to determine what the enemy knows, efforts to keep friendly intelligence secret, and efforts to hamper the enemy’s ability to collect and use intelligence. In this manual, the first four chapters provide counterintelligence information to the commander and his staff, while the remaining chapters cover the nuts and bolts of counterintelligence operations. The book includes everything from conducting background investigations to using field artillery to destroy stations. There is general information, for instance, on evaluating assassination threats, contacting members of friendly resistance organizations, and how best to handle moles. There is advice on checking and keeping files, conducting searches, and the administration of lie detector tests. Also detailed are the ethics, legalities, and practical concerns of placing bugs, tapping telephones, and setting up listening posts for wireless intercepts, as well as the use of cameras and recorders. There is also information on tracking and connecting members of groups or cells, with advice on creating diagrams to illustrate the relationship among targets. The U.S. Army Counterintelligence Handbook is a must-read for anyone with an interest in today’s difficult military intelligence questions, and it provides answers right from the source.

Download or read book Army Doctrine Publication ADP 2 0 Intelligence July 2019 written by United States Goverment Us Army and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, Army Doctrine Publication ADP 2-0 Intelligence July 2019, is the Army's most fundamental publication for Army intelligence. ADP 2-0 provides a common construct for intelligence doctrine from which Army forces adapt to conduct operations. The principal audience for ADP 2-0 is every Soldier and Department of the Army Civilian who interact with the intelligence warfighting function. This publication is the foundation for the intelligence warfighting function and subsequent doctrine development. It also serves a loping doctrine, leader development, materiel and force structure, and unit training for intelligence.ADP 2-0 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard / Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.Operations and intelligence are closely linked. The intelligence process is continuous and directly drives and supports the operations process. This principle will remain true well into the future. Intelligence will continue to be a critical part of the conduct - planning, preparing, executing, and assessing - of operations. Future operations will be difficult. They will occur in complex operational environments against capable peer threats, who most likely will start from positions of relative advantage. U.S. forces will require effective intelligence to prevail during these operations.Intelligence supports joint and Army operations across unified action, the Army's strategic roles, unified land operations, and decisive action at each echelon - from the geographic combatant command down to the battalion level. Specifically, intelligence supports commanders and staffs by facilitating situational understanding across all domains and the information environment. Commanders and staffs use situational understanding to identify and exploit multi - domain windows of opportunity and to achieve and exploit positions of relative advantage.Intelligence is inherently joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational. Every aspect of intelligence is synchronized, networked, and collaborative across all unified action partners. This synchronization occurs through national to tactical intelligence support. The Army both benefits from and contributes to national to tactical intelligence and focuses the Army intelligence effort through the intelligence warfighting function, which is larger than military intelligence. Critical participants within the function include commanders and staffs, decision makers, collection managers, and intelligence leaders.Despite a thorough understanding of intelligence fundamentals and a proficient staff, an effective intelligence effort is not assured. Large-scale ground combat operations are characterized by complexity, chaos, fear, violence, fatigue, and uncertainty. The fluid and chaotic nature of large-scale ground combat operations causes the greatest degree of fog, friction, and stress on the intelligence warfighting function. Threat forces will attempt to counter friendly collection capabilities by using integrated air defense systems, long-range fires, counterreconnaissance operations, cyberspace and electronic warfare operations, camouflage and concealment, and deception.

Download or read book ATP 2 33 4 Intelligence Analysis written by Headquarters Department Of the Army and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence analysis is central to intelligence. It is the basis for many staff activities, including planning, and occurs across the entire Army. Among other results, analysis facilitates commanders and other decision makers' ability to visualize the operational environment (OE), organize their forces, and control operations to achieve their objectives. To understand the role of intelligence analysis, intelligence professionals must understand how intelligence analysis corresponds with other staff processes, especially the military decision-making process and information collection. ATP 2-33.4 provides fundamental information to a broad audience, including commanders, staffs, and leaders, on how intelligence personnel conduct analysis to support Army operations. It describes the intelligence analysis process and specific analytic techniques and information on the conduct of intelligence analysis performed by intelligence personnel, especially all-source analysts, across all intelligence disciplines. Additionally, ATP 2-33.4 describes how intelligence analysis facilitates the commander's decision making and understanding of complex environments.The principal audience for ATP 2-33.4 is junior to midgrade intelligence analysts conducting intelligence analysis. This publication provides basic information on intelligence analysis for commanders, staffs, and other senior military members.

Download or read book How Can Human Intelligence Enhance Collection on an Era of Un Manned Technology and Reduced Personnel written by United States Army Command and General S and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges faced by today's military confronting the enemy have vastly changed from the enemy faced 20 years ago. The new enemy is nationless and hides amongst the civilian population. This Hybrid Threat knows no borders and survives in anonymity. Combating this Hybrid Threat in today's world is challenging and requires a better understanding of the enemy. Intelligence collection is crucial in identifying who this threat is, where they operate, and their intentions, so commanders and decision makers can be proactive in dealing with future threats. Technology has advanced exponentially, and produced intelligence collection disciplines that virtually eliminate the threat to human life. However, by relying on technology at the expense of other collection disciplines, we are only seeing half the picture, at best. When an enemy wears the same clothes as the population, lives in the same villages, and speaks the same language, the only way to identify them is through people that know friend from foe; human sources. The Hybrid threat is where Human Intelligence excels, and this low-tech collection capability is becoming more relevant than ever.
