Book Synopsis Intelligence Outsourcing in the U.S. Department of Defense by : Jacob Benjamin Gale
Download or read book Intelligence Outsourcing in the U.S. Department of Defense written by Jacob Benjamin Gale and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense expanded significantly its contracting for intelligence services after 9/11. This increased outsourcing poses as-yet unevaluated financial, structural, and normative challenges for the defense intelligence enterprise, the executive branch, Congress, and the American people. This thesis integrates findings from economics, organizational science, legal, and military privatization literatures to create a foundation for a broader inquiry into the full implications of widespread contracting for defense intelligence services. This integrative analysis yields a framework for determining the eligibility of defense intelligence functions for private performance, and applies this framework to defense intelligence contracts that were competed during the past decade. This thesis finds that intelligence outsourcing--while a useful tool--may be financially and structurally deleterious and undermines American constitutional governance when contractors are allowed to perform inherently governmental activities. This thesis concludes with a series of policy prescriptions intended to strengthen the practice of outsourcing intelligence services within the defense intelligence enterprise.

Book Synopsis Outsourcing Security by : Bruce E. Stanley
Download or read book Outsourcing Security written by Bruce E. Stanley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with a decreasing supply of national troops, dwindling defense budgets, and the ever-rising demand for boots on the ground in global conflicts and humanitarian emergencies, decision makers are left with little choice but to legalize and legitimize the use of private military contractors (PMCs). Outsourcing Security examines the impact that bureaucratic controls and the increasing permissiveness of security environments have had on the U.S. military’s growing use of PMCs during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Bruce E. Stanley examines the relationship between the rise of the private security industry and five potential explanatory variables tied to supply-and-demand theory in six historical cases, including Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the U.S. intervention in Bosnia in 1995, and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Outsourcing Security is the only work that moves beyond a descriptive account of the rise of PMCs to lay out a precise theory explaining the phenomenon and providing a framework for those considering PMCs in future global interaction.

Book Synopsis Top Secret America (Enhanced Edition) by : William M. Arkin
Download or read book Top Secret America (Enhanced Edition) written by William M. Arkin and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The top-secret world that the government created in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks has become so enormous, so unwieldy, and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs or exactly how many agencies duplicate work being done elsewhere. The result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe may be putting us in greater danger. In Top Secret America, award-winning reporters Dana Priest and William Arkin uncover the enormous size, shape, mission, and consequences of this invisible universe of over 1,300 government facilities in every state in America; nearly 2,000 outside companies used as contractors; and more than 850,000 people granted "Top Secret" security clearance. A landmark exposé of a new, secret "Fourth Branch" of American government, Top Secret America is a tour de force of investigative reporting-and a book sure to spark national and international alarm.
Book Synopsis Intelligence Campaign Planning by : Kevin A. Mcaninch
Download or read book Intelligence Campaign Planning written by Kevin A. Mcaninch and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph determines the role and current posture of the United States Army, and specifically its intelligence corps, in Department of Defense (DoD) Intelligence Community (IC) implementation and execution of Intelligence Campaign Planning (ICP). ICP is emerging as a new procedure for the DoD IC to centrally plan ISR Synchronization in support of regional combatant commander operation plans. ICP initially emerged out of intelligence reform after September 11, 2001 and operational intelligence challenges evident during Operation Iraqi Freedom. As one of the sixteen agencies in the national IC and eight in the DoD IC, the Army has a role to play to ensure its intelligence requirements and capabilities are integrated into ICP. The authors method first proves Army intelligence, during its own transformation, missed a critical link to ICP, and follows with an assessment of progress already underway and how integration into the Joint Operations Planning Process (JOPP) helps solidify ICP. The author concludes by analyzing how ready and relevant current Army intelligence is to institutionalize ICP across doctrine, organization, training and personnel areas of the DOTMLPF. The monograph includes content relevant to national and defense intelligence transformation to include Taking Stock of Defense Intelligence and Remodeling Defense Intelligence, proposed ICP concepts to include stand up and fielding of the Joint Intelligence Operations Center (JIOC) and Horizontal Integration (HI), the process and details of the Joint Concepts Development and Experimentation (JCD&E) for ICP, and what has been accomplished so far and how long it might take for full ICP implementation based on real world tests. With respect to the Army's ability to integrate into the ICP process, the author finds severe deficiencies in doctrine, training, and personnel utilization not easily offset by organizational successes achieved through the Army transformation to the modular force. Research for this monograph included classified documents to ensure accuracy of analysis, but in its entirety this monograph is unclassified. The author recommends updating and revising dilapidated Army intelligence doctrine regarding operational intelligence activities at echelons above corps, authorizing a dedicated plans shop to all Intelligence and Security Command headquarters to facilitate integration of Army intelligence requirements and capabilities into ICP, utilizing emerging and current joint training opportunities to minimize cost to establish ICP expertise resident in the Army, and revamping current Army policy for utilization of intelligence officers with recognized planning skills.
Book Synopsis National Defense Intelligence College Paper by : Department of Defense
Download or read book National Defense Intelligence College Paper written by Department of Defense and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and informative paper was produced by the National Intelligence University / National Defense Intelligence College. Topics and subjects include: CIA analysis, internet and electronic media, analytical tradecraft, process management, U.S. Coast Guard, DIA, DODIIS, COLISEUM, JWICS, SIPRNET, OSIS, DITDS, HUGIN expert, ESRI, induction, deduction, and abduction.The title chosen for this book carries two meanings. The more straightforward interpretation of "Bringing Intelligence About,'' and the principal one, refers to the book's coverage of wide-ranging sources and methods employed to add value to national security-related information--to create "intelligence.'' A second meaning, not unrelated to the first, refers to the responsible agility expected of U.S. intelligence professionals, to think and act in such a way as to navigate information collection and interpretation duties with a fix on society's shifting but consensual interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. A prominent individual and ideal intelligence professional who lived both meanings of "Bringing Intelligence About'' was the late Lieutenant General Vernon A. Walters. As an intelligence officer, defense attache, ambassador-at-large and ambassador to Germany, his combination of skills--notably his language skills--made him the epitome of a professional. Beyond intelligence service in the Departments of Defense and of State, General Walters presided as Deputy Director of Central Intelligence during the Watergate episode, where he stood on principle and at odds with political figures in the Nixon administration. His mastery of intelligence collection, analysis and politically attuned synthesis, the full story of which has not yet been told, make him a near-mythic figure for aspiring intelligence professionals. Although the talents and assignments of General Walters were extraordinary, his demonstration that intelligence aptitudes and skills are fungible across Departments and Agencies is a powerful suggestion that those separate institutions can also operate together as a professional community.This volume helps us move down the long and difficult road of helping identify how to produce good or better intelligence--by which I mean intelligence that is of use to policymakers and is better than other intelligence by being so used. The authors have--across a range of areas of interest--identified some of the practices that work best to produce--or, more aptly, "to bring about"--good intelligence. Note that the preceding sentence said "some of the practices." Few books could expect to identify all of the practices that work and, as the authors of each chapter would undoubtedly concede, there will always be some variables and intangibles at work in intelligence: vagaries of time to perform collection and analysis; the quality of sources; the quality of the analysts; the nature and personality of the policymakers. Still, it is possible to identify the practices that work and the practices that have to be altered over time as conditions change.

Download or read book Partners Or Competitors? The Evolution of the Department of Defense/Central Intelligence Agency Relationship Since Desert Storm and Its Prospects for the Future written by Joint Special Operations University Pres and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-07 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the historical and contemporary context of the CIA/DOD relationship, Major David Oakley draws on secondary sources for his academic research supplemented by primary sources of personal interview with two former Chairmen of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, interviews with previous and current DOD and CIA leadership, government documents, and written first-person accounts. These primary sources add a new dimension and uniqueness to his research. Although the CIA and DOD relationship expanded significantly following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, its foundation was set 10 years earler in the aftermath of Desert Storm and in the Cold War's twilight glow. During this period, congressional policy pronouncements and organizational changes within institutions increased the communication and liaison partnerships between the CIA and DOD, establishing the foundation for greater interoperability after 1992. These changes established conditions that enabled the blossoming of the relationship since 2001.

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) relies extensively on contractors to support deployed forces for services that range from food and housing services to intelligence analysis. Since 1997, GAO has reported on DOD's shortcomings in managing and overseeing its use of contractor support. Part of the difficulty attributed to these shortcomings is that no one person or entity that made the decision to send 129,000 contractors to Iraq. Rather, numerous DOD activities were involved, thus adding to the complexity of the problems which GAO identified in its past work on this topic. This testimony focuses on (1) the problems that DOD has faced in managing and overseeing its contractor support to deployed forces and (2) future challenges that DOD will need to address to improve its oversight and management of contractors at deployed locations. In addition, as you requested, we have developed several actions Congress may wish to consider requiring DOD to take. This testimony is based on previously issued GAO reports and testimonies on DOD's management and oversight of contractor support to deployed forces that focused primarily on U.S. efforts in Southwest Asia. This work was conducted in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.
