Feedback Can Help Connect the Dots: IIR Evaluations for Love and Analysis

We often hear that "Intelligence Drives Operations."  Intelligence analysts drives intelligence which drives operations. The IIR Evaluation is a tool to put intelligence analysts back into the driver seat.  IIR Evaluations are the feedback, food and even love to HUMINT collectors. IIR Evaluations are a great tool to help organizations gain focused intelligence for unit and departmental activity. Use of all tools available to intelligence analysts will further help them to connect the dots of the intelligence picture and better serve this nation.

 

Military Intelligence Professional Bulletin Jul-Sep 2010 by James R. Lint and Vincent D. R.

 

 

Memories of a day in June.   Link A Story about Security and Intelligence Failure in June 1950 and thoughts of Security and Intelligence professionals today.

By 1950, the U.S. Army had just finished World War II five years earlier. The Army had a major drawdown and had cut troop units and staff. Most of the junior personnel had not even served in World War II. No draftees had combat experience.

June 25, 1950 was a nice summer day with people preparing for a post softball event. The weather was wonderful. It was a great day to forget the office and to enjoy life, even if you were stationed in Korea.

That day was a day for Operations Security (OPSEC) and a busy day for many—especially for North Koreans emptying their motor pools and moving troops south to attack South Korea.

 

Lessons Learned in Recovery of Classified Materials Link

I am often reminded about the guys in the Iran Embassy in November 1979. They thought there was no need for emergency evacuation or for emergency destruction drills. I'm sure there were many in the Pentagon in 2001 who thought the same way. But, November 4, 1979, and September 11, 2001, changed those complacent thoughts.
