Change of Detection: To Find the Terrorist within the Identification of the U.S. Army's Insider Threat
Abstract
Thirteen individuals were killed and thirty-two individuals were injured in the Fort Hood shooting. The U.S. Army bearing the wound left a nation questioning how one of their own military members could be accused of such catastrophic events. In the aftermath of reviews and Congressional testimony, changes have been proposed for the identification of insider threats. A significant challenge resides in the Federal Government to synchronize the efforts to identify insider threats within the United States. Prior to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Security synchronization, the U.S. Army proposed changes within their forces to identify and define this insider threat. This thesis reviews the proposed U.S. Army identification processes in relation to the Fort Hood shooting. The purpose is to compare and analyze modifications that can best be applied to predicting and mitigating the homegrown terrorist segment of the U.S. Army's insider threat.
