The Role of Army Intelligence in the Domestic Drug War

Abstract

This paper investigates the role Army intelligence can play in the domestic aspect of the war. It addresses identification of law enforcement requirements and Army intelligence capabilities that are feasible and suitable for employment against drug targets, and discusses the acceptability of those intelligence applications. The laws that govern military support to law enforcement and intelligence activities which impact on Army intelligence's role in the drug war are addressed. The study suggests that while army intelligence has some limited application in support of law enforcement, the acceptability of such operations will depend on how severely they infringe on the privacy of the American people.
