Recommendations for Improving FBI Joint Counterterrorism Operations

Abstract

With the success achieved through the deployment of Special Agents in support of joint counterterrorism operations with the military, the FBI enhances its ability to conduct investigative activity in defense of the U.S. Without improvements to the FBI's existing system of assigning leaders to match the needs of the organization, the ability to fulfill these responsibilities, as set forth in the 9/11 Commission Recommendations and National Strategy for Counter Terrorism, the FBI risks being divided into separate agencies, failing to inform decision makers, and misses opportunities to prevent acts of terrorism. As the FBI continues to make significant progress to meet the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission to improve counterterrorism operations, the FBI can enhance its efficiency and effectiveness by providing a formalized career path for counterterrorism leaders to develop expertise in all levels of management.
