2. ON INTELLIGENCE: Whole of Government, Whole Earth, NATO, SOF, & Doing the Right Thing Robert David STEELE Vivas Earth Intelligence Network, Phi Beta Iota Public Intelligence Blog The Truth at Any Cost Reduces All Other Costs. A discourse rooted entirely in my personal experience since 1976 (strategy, policy, acquisition, operations, & intelligence).

3. Sadly, we must never, ever, [ ever ] underestimate the capacity of the Americans to think of new wrong things to try before they might get it right. The Americans always do the right thing... they just try everything else first.

4. On the Shoulders of Others (There is a need) to recognize that just as the essence of knowledge is not as split up into academic disciplines as it is in our academic universe, so can intelligence not be set apart from statecraft and society, or subdivided into elements...such as analysis and estimates, counter intelligence, clandestine collection, covert action, and so forth. Rather intelligence is a scheme of things entire . (Bozeman 1998: 177). The intelligence institutions have neglected support of judgment. This is partly due to being disinvited to help shape the sovereigns judgment, but also partly due to mistaking who the sovereign has become. The peoples judgment is now being poisoned by ideologues who have filled the void. The situation is not honestly and soberly appreciated . Societal sense-making suffers due to the failure of the intelligence function and the craft to support it. ( Senior US serving officer, 2012) Reformations and transformations are not the same thing. Reformations are concerned with changing the means systems employ to pursue their objectives. Transformations involve changes in the objectives they pursue. (Ackoff, 2004)

7. Admiral James G. Stavridis, USN Former NATO SACEUR Open Source Security Imagine global security driven by collaboration -- among agencies, government, the private sector and the public. That's not just the distant hope of open-source fans, it's the vision of James Stavridis, a highly accomplished Navy Admiral. Stavridis shares vivid moments from recent military history to explain why security of the future should be built with bridges rather than walls. What will 21st-century security look like? Navy Admiral James Stavridis suggests that dialogue and openness will be the game-changers. We must build bridges. Sharing information is how we connect everything.

9. ON INTELLIGENCE Theory of Intelligence To what end?

10. Theory of Intelligence I Theory of Knowledge (Epistemology) Intelligence Is: Actionable Answers Decision-Support Evidence-Based Holistic Process Intelligence Is Not: Applied Knowledge Beliefs in Isolation Consciousness Covert Action Espionage Secret Information Wisdom

11. Intelligence should not be defined by Inputs Requirements Sources Processing Analysis Production Covert Action Being Wrong Theory of Intelligence II Purpose, Not Process Intelligence should be defined by Outputs . Answers to Specific Questions Appraisals of Specific Situations Forecasts of Specific Factors in Context Being Right

37. Counter-Intelligence Counterintelligence should be the center of gravity for the future of secret intelligence. Counterintelligence must focus on our domestic enemies more so than our foreign enemies. Counterintelligence must be able to expose and destroy domestic political and financial traitors. Offensive counterintelligence is not being done and needs to be a long-term endeavor. Counterintelligence cannot overcome the irresponsibility of NSA and others who refuse to be serious about cyber-security or even cyber-integrity. The FBI is an ineffective and compromised bureaucracy.

38. Acquisition Intelligence Where, when, & how will this be used?

39. Force Structure Should Meet Needs

41. Acquisition Generalizations 1. All Countries or Some Countries? 2. Coastal & Capital Areas & Main Channels or All Areas? 3. Warfighting Only or Full-Spectrum Peace & Relief Also? 4. Worst-Case Everything or Holistic Balance? 5. C4I Assumed or Mandated? 6. Continuous Threat Support to All Mission Areas? 7. Operational Test & Evaluation? With/Without FORMAT ? Threat is both conventional and unconventional Ground threat complex & lethal Air threat night/all-weather and integrated air defense systems Naval threat from coastal guns and missiles severe Insurgencies are a constant Mountains, deserts, jungle, and urban environments require distinct approaches Majority of the operational areas are hot and humid, standard aviation limited Cross-country mobility a show-stopper Line of sight distance under 1,000 meters Bridge-loading & tunnel clearance issues 50% ports not usable, C-130 fields most commonwe lack long-haul air Cultural terrain far beyond our ken
