Abstract

Using various examples of Military history, this paper will analyze the success and failure of various units and leaders and their use of actionable intelligence in combat. The research will show how both technical and nontechnical collection means have been important in military operations. The paper will highlight how leaders and commanders have used or failed to use intelligence have often suffered devastating defeats in history. The paper will then site some instances from the H100 series and other historical examples and address the use of actionable intelligence and the outcome of battles. The conclusion of this paper will identify how Actionable Intelligence helped frame past successes and will aid commanders in future battlefields.
