Post-Cold War Intelligence Challenge

 

·         To Manage effectively limited Intelligence Community resources in
dealing with:

- A global set of critical policy interests

- A diffusion of intelligence targets

- Increasing demand for greater detail

- Applied technologies - increasing target denial and deception

 

·         To provide effective intelligence preparation of the battlefield and
continued information dominance

·         To anticipate crises and be prepared to provide surge capabilities

 

 

PDD-35 Intelligence Priorities

 

·         Strategic Warning

- Provide timely warning of threats to US national interests worldwide

 

·         If US forces are deployed

- Provide the military commanders with the timely information they require
to execute their mission successfully and minimize the loss of American
lives

 

·         Next, focus in order on:

- "Rogue States"/Strategic Nuclear Powers

- Transnational issues

• Proliferation                   Nuclear Command and Control

• Terrorism                        Narcotics

• Regional Conflict/Negotiation

• International Organized Crime

SECRET

 

Intelligence Community
"Tiered Strategy"

 

·         Challenge is to strike appropriate balance between
Hard Targets and the rest of the world

·         Community guided by system of intelligence
priorities

- PDD-35 identifed highest priorities/Hard Targets

- Tier structure expands PDD-35 to prioritize intelligence
needs for all countries and issues

- Structure includes "watch" tier for lower priority
targets

 

SECRET

 

Hard Target Process Established

 

·         Before submitting plans to National Security
Advisor, DDCI established "Hard Target Process"

·         Forum of Intelligence Community Principals -
heads of agencies - to review each plan

 

Intent is to establish new Community process to improve performance on key intelligence needs of most important consumer

 

 

Executive Boards Up and Running

 

SECRET

 

Tier II or "Watch" Tier

 

 

·         Assigns higher priorities to countries with
potential for major crisis in 6-12 months

- Algeria, Angola, Burundi/Rwanda, Cambodia, Congo (Kinshasa),
Haiti, and Indonesia

 

·         Community drafts surge profile for each country

- Intelligence needs highlighted

- Current analytic/collection capabilities assessed

- Contingencies and constraints identified

 

·         Profiles intended to assist Community managers
surge more effectively

 

SECRET

 

Global Coverage - Best Practices

 

·         Challenge is to strike appropriate balance between Hard
Targets and the rest of the world

·         Every agency has a process for covering lower priority
countries

·         Innovative approaches are under development throughout
the Community

- Corporate knowledge system

• On-line information and finished intelligence

- Comprehensive open source database

• Geographic, demographic, political, military data

- Non-governmental expertise

• Civilian/military reservists supplement Community analysts

Intelligence Community Collection and
Production Structures

 

·         Organized well to support Crises, Contingencies

·         Not as well organized to address long-term, strategic
issues like ballistic missiles

 

 

Current Intelligence Parameters

 

·         Fewer analysts, processors

·         More diverse, time-sensitive targets

·         Emphasis on current reporting vice strategic long-term
collection/analysis

·         Information explosion (technological revolution)

 

 

Programmatic Structure of
US Intelligence

 

·         The Community's functional capabilities of collection, processing,
analysis, and support are organized into three distinct program
elements

- National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP)

- Joint Military Intelligence Program (JMIP)

- Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA)

 

·         The DCI oversees the NFIP and the DEPSECDEF has overall
responsibility for TIARA and JMIP -- DEPSECDEF/DCI jointly
managing the Intelligence Community

 

 

Program and Budget Management
Process

 

·         DCI has multiple vehicles to direct Community

- Interaction with Intelligence Community leaders

- Hard Target process

- Program review and decisions

- Direction to programs (Joint Intelligence Guidance)

 

·         Guidance, issued jointly with DEPSECDEF since
1992, is opportunity to transmit DCI's vision and
strategy

- Applies to NFIP, JMIP and TIARA

- Foundation for joint program review

 

 

Overview of Joint Intelligence Guidance

 

·         Guidance has been issued jointly with the Deputy
Secretary of Defense since 1992

·         Principal vehicle for annual direction to US Intelligence

- Applies to all US Intelligence programs

- Lays foundation for joint program review

 

·         Typically has three components

- Strategy transmits DCI's vision

- Planning guidance reviews priority information needs of 16
National Security Missions

- Programming guidance gives specific directives to programs on
US Intelligence disciplines and capabilities

 

 

Mission Based Budget Objectives

 

·         Relate intelligence resources to National Security
Missions (derived from National Security Strategy
and Joint Military Strategy)

·         Balance traditional focus on capabilities with an
understanding of the output of intelligence
programs

·         Establish basis for considering tradeoffs across
diverse intelligence capabilities

Personnel Trends

 

·         NFIP downsized by more than 20%, or 20,559
people, since FY 1991

·         Nevertheless, personnel costs rose from $4.7
billion in FY 1991 to $5.4 billion in FY 1999

·         If we had not downsized, personnel costs would
have been $1.4 billion higher in FY 1999

 

 

Intelligence and DoD Budget Trends

 

·         Since FY 1990 the DoD budget in real terms has
dropped 29%

·         Over the same period, the Intelligence budget has
dropped 16%
