Strategic Intelligence for Tactical Operations: Intelligence Requirements for Force Projection Operations.

Abstract

In the post-Cold War world, U.S. Armed Forces will conduct force projection operations more frequently to respond to crises. The military will place demanding requirements on the National Intelligence Community to provide intelligence to support contingency operations. Where do we need to focus for threats in the future? What are the Armed Forces' intelligence requirements to support force projection operations? This study argues that the National Intelligence Community must understand the information requirements of the Armed Forces and narrow their products to meet tactical commanders' needs when supporting crisis operations. It briefly discusses areas for future conflicts, highlights crisis and deployment operations, and provides a general statement of information requirements for these operations. It uses recent historical examples (such as Operation JUST CAUSE in Panama and Operation DESERT SHIELD in Saudi Arabia) to support its conclusions.
