Finding Leaders: Preparing the Intelligence Community for Succession Management
Authored by E. L. Hatfield
This paper highlights and explains the stance of various agencies within the
U.S. Intelligence Community toward the adoption of succession management
principles, which in turn aim to foster a more systematic approach to the
development of future agency and Community leaders. This work thereby
offers Community managers an inter-agency perspective from a neutral but well-informed point of view.

Educing
Information:
Interrogation: Science and Art
Foundations for the Future
Authored by Intelligence Science Board
Educing Information is a profoundly important book because it offers both
professionals and ordinary citizens a primer on the "science and art" of both
interrogation and intelligence gathering. Because this is a book written by and
for intelligence professionals, it starts exactly where one might expect it to start
– with Dr. Robert Coulam's superb discussion of the costs and benefits of various
approaches to interrogation.

Improving the Law-Enforcement-Intelligence Community Relationship
Authored by Patrick A. Kelley
"Can't We All Just Get Along" The FBI vs. CIA turf battles of the Cold War are the stuff of Washington legend.
Things are much better now. They were getting better anyway, and then 9/11
accelerated the process. But…there is room for improvement.
The first essays here lay out some of the intelligence techniques that have proven
effective in either Law Enforcement (LE) or the Intelligence Community (IC) and
that might be useful to exchange and apply. They are followed by essays that point
out some of the diffi culties inherent in integrating the two communities. We conclude
with a few abstracts of recent work done at the National Defense Intelligence College
on other aspects of this topic. The bibliography is a compilation of key sources from
the authors' works but is by no means exhaustive.

Managing the Private Spies:
Use of Commerical Augmentation
for Intelligence Operations
Authored by Glenn J. Voelz
This study assesses the value of current commercial activities used within DoD
elements of the Intelligence Community, particularly dealing with operational functions
such as analysis, collection management, document exploitation, interrogation,
production, and linguistic support.
The author conducted data collection and interviewed personnel assigned within
DoD agencies, Combined Command, and Joint Task Force intelligence staffs. A holistic
evaluation of current contract management practices was conducted using findings
from several recent government studies and critiques of ongoing commercialization
initiatives. The evaluation focused primarily on the efficacy of the contract development process, management procedures, and how commercial services were integrated into
the operational intelligence cycle.

Shooting the Front
Authored by Terrence J. Finnegan
This comprehensive resource will interest military history and aviation enthusiasts, as well as persons in the intelligence field and the coordinating illustrations, that include aircraft, ameras, people, aerial photos, and maps varying in scales, enhance the readers’ experience.
What is remarkable about photography's role in the war is photography was
already a well established fixture of the modern 19th century society. The aura of aviation's beginnings reflected countless attempts to consolidate known technologies into a reliable and workable framework. It was the aeroplan that became the driving force of aeiral observation in the Great War. It's ability to command the high ground and provide a concise view of the battle area, both tactically and strategically, would enamor both combatants and the public at large to new methods of warfare. Aerial observation quickly became an important resource as the forces maneuvered in the drive towards Paris.

The Coast Guard Intelligence Program Enters the Intelligence Community
Authored by Kevin E. Wirth
This work builds on earlier publications in this series, particularly Occasional Paper
Number Nine, The Creation of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency: Congress’s
Role as Overseer, by Anne Daugherty Miles. The author of the present paper has
examined how the Coast Guard became a member of the Intelligence Community, how Congress was involved, and how Congress will likely be increasingly involved
in the organization of the Community. Derived from a thesis completed in 2003, this
paper illustrates the importance of gathering electronic data immediately, since much
of the reference material on which this study is based existed only as informal e-mail
or documents stored on computers. Much of it likely would have been erased had the
research started even a year later.

The Creation of the National imagery and Mapping agency: Congress"s Role as Overseer
Authored by Anne D. Miles
The case study presented here illustrates the combination of personality and process
that resulted in the establishment of NIMA in 1996. It has been written specifically for
those who are studying Congress and the U.S. Intelligence Community. It highlights the
role of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and how those committees interact
with other committees—most specifically the Armed Services Committees. It augments
the few good sources that exist on this very narrow subject—the most important being

Out of Bounds:
Innovation and Change in Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysis
Editor: Deborah Osborne
Deborah Osborne’s Out of Bounds: Innovation and Change in Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysis addresses the changing nature and role of analysis in policing. Osborne’s examination, though, focuses not only on the analytical process, but on the analysts— critical actors who function with relative anonymity.
In the novel and on the movie screen, the suave detective and the hard-bitten-but-sensitive
street cop get the glory. But behind the scenes in the real world, a crucial foundation of good
police work is the collection, assimilation, analysis, and communication of information about
events, places and people. Crime and intelligence analysis is the back-office process that
frequently underlies the solved crime, the ameliorated problem, and the effective prevention
strategy.

The Intelligence Archipelago
Author Melanie M. H. Gutjar
In this book, Melanie Gutjahr addresses the documentation surrounding the history of U.S. national
intelligence reform efforts, going back almost to the beginning of post-WWII intelligence. She examines
the question of whether the Intelligence Community appears capable of reshaping itself quickly and
effectively enough to cope with 21st century expressions of globalization. Finding a negative answer
to that question, she goes on to address the prospect that Congress may generate the wherewithal to
effect a transformation in intelligence matters by building on the Intelligence Reform Act of 2004.

Bringing Intelligence About
Edited by Russel Swenson
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

Intelligence Professionalism
in the Americas
Editors: Russell G. Swenson and SusanaC. Lemozy
This book examines ways in which intelligence develops its characteristic standards of accuracy and duty. It considers the effects of formal legal codes and democratic oversight,
but a principal conclusion emerging from it is the importance of professional training. Its
implicit sub-text is indeed that standards of intelligence analysis and ntegrity should be
properly taught, and not just caught by osmosis from one’s seniors. At least for this British reader, the amount of formal analytic training in the relatively modest national intelligence systems described here is surprising and thought-provoking, perhaps salutary.

Courting A Reluctant Ally
Authored by Greogry J. Florence
The National Defense Intelligence College supports and encourages research
on intelligence issues that distills lessons and improves support to
policy-level and operational consumers As the U.S. Intelligence Community debates how to engage in intelligence cooperation and information
sharing with a variety of other countries, in the face of non-state malefactors, we need not remain
without a rudder. Lieutenant Commander Florence demonstrates in this book that the question of how
to proceed toward useful information sharing and cooperation can be addressed by exploiting our
national archives. His research reveals how a contentious, interwar relationship between the U.S. and the UK evolved into a special relationship as information sharing and cooperation in intelligence creation
and use became indispensable. This publication highlights the value of historical research carried
out by candidates for the degree of Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence.
