This book examines the theoretical and conceptual foundation of
effective modern intelligence collection-the strategies required to
support intelligence analysis of the modern, complex operational
environments of today's military conflicts or competitive civilian
situations such as business. Just as the old rules of conventional
warfare and intelligence analysis do not apply fully in the
21st-century environment, neither does the traditional methodology
of collecting intelligence on these elusive, adapting foes
operating as complex adaptive systems (CAS)-adversaries that excel
in today's complex contexts. Intelligence Collection: How To Plan
and Execute Intelligence Collection In Complex Environments
proposes substantive improvements in the way the U.S. national
security system collects intelligence and supports intelligence
analysis. The work draws on the groundbreaking work of a diverge
group of theorists ranging from Carl von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu to
M. Mitchell Waldrop, General David Petraeus, and Orson Scott Card,
communicating a unifying theory and ontology of thought for how
America's intelligence collection professionals must learn to
collect data as our country faces elusive, determined, and smart
adversaries in nonlinear, dynamic environments. The new ideas
presented will help the nation's intelligence collection
specialists to amass a formidable, cumulative intelligence power,
regardless of the level of war or the type of operational
environment.
This book offers a vast conceptual and theoretical exploration of
the ways intelligence analysis must change in order to succeed
against today's most dangerous combatants and most complex
irregular theatres of conflict. Intelligence Analysis: How to Think
in Complex Environments fills a void in the existing literature on
contemporary warfare by examining the theoretical and conceptual
foundations of effective modern intelligence analysis—the type of
analysis needed to support military operations in modern, complex
operational environments. This volume is an expert guide for
rethinking intelligence analysis and understanding the true nature
of the operational environment, adversaries, and most importantly,
the populace. Intelligence Analysis proposes substantive
improvements in the way the U.S. national security system
interprets intelligence, drawing on the groundbreaking work of
theorists ranging from Carl von Clauswitz and Sun Tzu to M.
Mitchell Waldrop, General David Petraeus, Richards Heuer, Jr.,
Orson Scott Card, and others. The new ideas presented here will
help the nation to amass a formidable, cumulative intelligence
power, with distinct advantages over any and all adversaries of the
future regardless of the level of war or type of operational
environment.
