The nature of modern warfare has changed from force-on-force scenarios to the use of distributed lethality through insurgency strategies and terror tactics.  In this environment, policy makers, planners and warfighters demand that intelligence discern the intent and actions of individuals (rather than military units) quickly enough for decisive action.  To achieve this level of capability, the Department of Defense (DoD) is refocusing defense intelligence to better integrate all source analysis with operations. This effort calls for transforming the missions and structures of military intelligence, but left unclear is if and how this effort will better align intelligence capabilities in an environment of sustained irregular warfare. 

This session will explore the evolving integration of national and military intelligence and how DoD envisions that Joint Intelligence Operations Centers will improve the performance and relevance of intelligence.

Session two addresses the challenge of integrating foreign and domestic intelligence and thereby creating a holistic picture that allows us to preempt threats overseas and safeguard our homeland. To meet this challenge, many questions arise: How do we tactically exercise a national intelligence infrastructure that was designed primarily to assess strategic issues like Soviet capabilities?  How do we do so without compromising the still important strategic mission?  How do we best couple strategic assets, intelligence support to the war fighter, and law enforcement resources to counter terrorism?  Are emerging changes in our national intelligence capabilities enough?  If not, what more must be done?

This session’s speakers will discuss how the counterterrorism mission has evolved and how foreign and domestic intelligence are joining forces – all in the context of the National Counter Terrorism Center and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004.

As we move into an era of prolonged asymmetric warfare, the development of analytical tradecraft across the various Intelligence Community (IC) disciplines cannot only reflect the requirements of past decades, but must also mirror the new threat environment. Transforming – or remodeling – the structure and the mission of the Armed Forces and defining the technology required for successful employment of those forces  can best succeed if the IC analytical workforce keeps pace.  The Community faces a serious personnel dilemma recruiting, educating, training, and retaining its workforce.  This is especially true given the need for a labor force that will be tasked to employ its tradecraft against an unconventional enemy. 

Speakers in this session include those with direct responsibility for the analytical products from their respective agencies.  They will provide a reality check on DoD and IC reform by addressing the challenges to providing a consistent and effective intelligence workforce for the Long War.

Remodeling intelligence demands new technologies, new architectures, and new approaches.  Technological advances in the commercial and government sectors can support new concepts of operations, but more importantly they also can enable entirely new ways of executing the mission in asymmetric warfare.  In the ongoing war against terrorism, intelligence professionals must drive beyond traditional architectures and systems and replace them with those designed for agility and flexibility.  At the same time, the recent record levels of funding for intelligence are not likely to continue.  As such, the technical imperatives for remodeling will be shaped by the dollars available.  Therefore, intelligence planners must take advantage of new and less costly approaches to rapidly develop, deploy and sustain innovative technological capabilities.

Speakers in this session will address the critical technology gaps and imperatives for creating and implementing agile intelligence resources.
