Joint Intelligence Centers' Support for Operating Forces.
Abstract
This final report is provided for your information and use. It discusses the Joint Intelligence Centers (JICs), the intelligence support they provide to the operational forces, and the reductions of intelligence staffs that occurred after the establishment of the JICs. In March 1991, the Secretary of Defense approved the Plan for Restructuring Defense Intelligence (the Plan) to enhance intelligence functions while coping with budget reductions. The Plan directed the establishment of the JICs at each unified command to consolidate intelligence assets, eliminate duplication of intelligence, and reduce intelligence staffs. The objective of the audit was to evaluate the JICs' effectiveness in support of operating forces. Specifically, the audit evaluated whether the JICs satisfy intelligence requirements of the Joint Task Forces, unified command components, and principal subordinate elements. The audit also evaluated whether expected reductions in the size of intelligence staffs occurred after the implementation of the IC concept. Further, the audit evaluated internal controls germane to the audit objectives.
