This edited volume describes various analytic methods used by
intelligence analysts supporting military operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan as members of the Iraq and Afghan Threat Finance
Cells-interagency intelligence teams tasked to disrupt terrorist
and insurgent funding. All contributors have deployed to Iraq
and/or Afghanistan and detail both the bureaucratic and
intellectual challenges in understanding terrorist and insurgent
finance networks and then designing operations to attack such
networks via conventional military operations, Special Forces
kill/capture targeting operations, and non-kinetic operations such
as asset freezing or diplomacy. The analytic methods described here
leverage both quantitative and qualitative methods, but in a
language and style accessible to those without a quantitative
background. All methods are demonstrated via actual case studies
(approved for release by the U.S. government) drawn from the
analysts' distinct experiences while deployed. This book will be of
interest to current or aspiring intelligence analysts, students of
security studies, anti-money laundering specialists in the private
sector, and more generally to those interested in understanding how
intelligence analysis feeds into live operations during wartime at
a very tactical level.
