Concepts and Principles of Intelligence Joint Pub 2.0 gives list of Principles of Joint Intelligence that was created by combining intelligence theory and operational experience. There are 10 principles overall: 1. Perspective 2. Synchronization 3. Integrity 4. Unity of Effort 5. Prioritization 6. Excellence 7. Prediction 8. Agility 9. Collaboration 10. Fusion Principles of Intelligence: Perspective -ability to think like the adversary -predicated understanding of the adversary's motivations, goals, objectives, strategy, intentions, capabilities, method of operation, vulnerabilities, and sense of value and loss -includes understanding of the operating environment (OE) and the adversary's ability to adapt to it Principles of Intelligence: Synchronization -the ability to synchronize intelligence with plans and operations -done in order to provide answers to intelligence requirements in time to influence the decision they are intended to support -will maximize assets and help ensure success. Principles of Intelligence: Integrity -important to always remain intellectually honest -hallmark of intelligence profession -intelligence concerning a situation is one of the factors in determining policy, but policy does not determine intelligence Principles of Intelligence: Unity of Effort -cooperate to achieve a common objective -requires intelligence operations, functions, and systems that are coordinated, synchronized, integrated, and interoperable Principles of Intelligence: Prioritization -based upon commander's requirements -offers a mechanism for addressing requirements and effectively managing risk by identifying the most important tasks and applying available resources against those tasks Principles of Intelligence: Excellence To achieve the highest standards of excellence, intelligence products must be: -anticipatory -timely -accurate -usable -complete -relevant -objective -available Principles of Intelligence: Prediction -accepting risk of predicting the adversary's intentions -predictive analysis goes beyond the identification of capabilities by forecasting enemy intentions and is both difficult and risky Principles of Intelligence: Agility -remain flexible and adapt to changing situations -intelligence structures, methodologies, databases, products, and personnel should be sufficiently agile and flexible to meet changing operational situations, needs, priorities, and opportunities. Principles of Intelligence: Collaboration -leverage expertise of diverse analytical resources -consult with and solicit the opinions of other analysts and experts, particularly in external organizations Principles of Intelligence: Fusion -exploit all sources of information and intelligence -relies on collection and analysis efforts that optimize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of different intelligence disciplines The History of Intelligence Documents that serve as milestones for US Intelligence: -The Espionage Act of 1917 -National Security Act of 1947 -Executive Order 12333 (1981) -Goldwater Nichols DoD Reorganization Act of 1986 The History of Intelligence: The Espionage Act of 1917 -passed by congress in June 1917, two months after entry into WWI -defined espionage and collection and transmitting information deemed vital to US national security -defined recruitment to obtain and solicitation to transmit US national security information -prohibit interference with or insubordination against the military -prohibited support to US enemies during wartime -gave postal offices the authority to ban newspapers and magazines from the mail and threatened individuals convicted of obstructing the draft -in concert with the Sedition Act of 1918, US government prosecuted over 2,100 people during the war The History of Intelligence: National Security Act 1947 -passed in the aftermath of WWII to better organize a standing US security and intelligence structure. -created the national security council, DoD, US Air Force, and Central Intelligence Agency -created Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence Positions -both positions were to be appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the US senate -dissolved the central intelligence group, rolling its assets into the CIA The History of Intelligence: Executive Order 12333 (1981) -signed by president Reagan 4DEC1981 -since amended by president GW Bush in 2003, 2004, and 2008. -mandates rules and surveillance authorities for collecting information on US persons and on anyone within the US -directs the creation of further policies and procedures for what information can be collected, retained, and shared -provides the foundation for intelligence oversight rules such as DoD Reg. 5240.1-R The History of Intelligence: Goldwater Nichols DoD Reorganization Act of 1986 -directed the most sweeping changes to DoD since National Security Act of 1947 -increased powers of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -created a direct chain of command from the president through the SECDEF to the Combatant Commanders instead of the Service Chiefs -attempted to fix problems caused by inter-service rivalry following problems during the Vietnam War, Iranian hostage crisis, and the US invasion of Grenada The Process of Intelligence: -The Joint intelligence process provides the basis for common intelligence terminology and procedures. -Consists of 6 interrelated categories of Intelligence Operations -each category is characterized by broad activities conducted by intelligence staffs and organizations for the purpose of providing commanders and national-level decision makers with relevant and timely intelligence 1. Planning and Direction 2. Collection 3. Processing and Exploitation 4. Analysis and Production 5. Dissemination and Integration 6. Evaluation and Feedback The Process of Intelligence: Planning and Direction -development of intelligence plans and the continuous management of their execution -determination of intelligence requirements, development of appropriate intelligence architecture, preparation of a collection plan, issuance of orders and requests to information collection agencies -occurs continuously as the intelligence component of the command's campaign and contingency adaptive planning effort -intelligence planners determine the personnel, equipment, and intelligence architecture essential for support to joint operations The Process of Intelligence: Collection -includes activities related to the acquisition of data required to satisfy the requirements specified in the collection strategy -collectors, whether conducting reconnaissance and surveillance via technical means or human ones, obtain the data needed to satisfy the information requirements within the collection requirements tasked to them
