Peace Operations from an Intelligence Perspective.

Abstract

Military Intelligence (MI) professionals are operating in a dangerous environment-an environment labeled "peace operations." Peace operations range from benign situations to those of war and can be divided into four major types: observation, traditional peacekeeping, 2nd generation peacekeeping and enforcement. Supporting a commander in each of these subcategories can be similar and very different from more traditional support. Nationally, peace operations require a marriage of national and tactical-level collection and analysis-multi-nationally, a merger of unlike systems and doctrine. Belligerents and allies may be easy or hard to identify. End states change. Sources and customers may be nontraditional. This paper presents and examines the unique considerations of intelligence support to peace operations-operations that will be the dominant form of military operations in the next decade.
