Creative Commons Copyright © Ben Benavides—no commercial exploitation without contract confusingly uttered by former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, that captures the essence of their work: "As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know." ___ Associated Press writer Eileen Sullivan contributed to this report Read more: RN-T.com 16
Creative Commons Copyright © Ben Benavides—no commercial exploitation without contract Tactical and Strategic Intelligence Tactical Intelligence - Intelligence that is required for the planning and conduct of tactical operations. This is in line with military operations being conducted on the battlefield, generally in direct contact with the enemy, the commander’s timeframe is very much compressed, and he is dealing with towns, villages, or local tribes. The commander is troubled that an insurgent force may be just over the next hill or hiding in a building waiting to ambush his forces. He is operating in the here-and-now-in-yourface cultural environment. There is no room for error! Strategic Intelligence - Intelligence that is required for forming policy and military plans at national and international levels. This is in line with more of an expanded timeframe and takes into consideration entire countries. The intelligence analysis may run months or years into the future. During this period, errors, which are not acceptable but do still occur, are not as critical as they are at the tactical level where life and death are daily concerns. Errors at this level can be corrected with the luxury of more room for maneuver. Components of Strategic Intelligence The same analytical process that takes place at the strategic level can be applied at the tactical level. The tactical commander is faced with the same issues albeit at a smaller scale. Policy makers at national level worry about Iranian and North Korean WMDs but the ground commander also worries about insurgent WTDs (weapons of troop destruction) that include but are not limited to RPGs, AKs, IEDs, suicide bombers, etc. Strategic intelligence and tactical intelligence differ primarily in level of application but may also vary in terms and scope of detail. Information gathered as strategic intelligence may be categorized into eight components. An easy way to remember these components is through the use of the acronym BEST MAPS: Components of Strategic Intelligence � Biographic � Economic � Sociologic � Transportation And Communications � Military Geography � Armed Forces � Political � Scientific And Technical Each of these components can further be divided into a number of subcomponents. These components and subcomponents are not all-encompassing nor mutually exclusive. This approach is merely a means to enhance familiarization with the types of information included in strategic intelligence. Biographic Intelligence: The study of individuals of actual or potential importance, their background and personalities. � Educational And Occupational History � Individual Accomplishments � Idiosyncrasies And Habits � Position, Influence, And Potential � Attitudes And Hobbies Economic Intelligence: The science of production, distribution, and use of wealth-- the material means of satisfying human desires. economic intelligence is intelligence which deals with the extent and utilization of the natural and human resources and the economic potential of nations. 17
