INTRODUCTION:
Intelligence
is extremely important in homeland defense and security. Our society is
suspicious of intrusions on personal liberties. Mandated identity
cards, restricted vehicle access and random searches of airline
passengers are generally not well received. That makes it especially
important to prevent terrorist attacks by interdicting the terrorists
and their resources before they can reach their targets. The primary
means of accomplishing this is through a combination of intelligence
and law enforcement work.
Military
intelligence branches have been extremely effective while operating in
various countries with the use of multiple forms of intelligence:
Human
Intelligence (HUMINT), Geo spatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Measurement
and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), Open Source Intelligence (OSINT),
Strategic Intelligence (STRATINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and
Technical Intelligence (TECHINT). Simply stated, and reduced to the
lowest common denominator, intelligence is information of the world
about us. Regardless of the form of intelligence, the world can be
divided into short-term, narrow focus, Tactical Intelligence, and long
term broad focus, Strategic Intelligence.
This
course will rapidly take you through the basics of
intelligence/counterintelligence followed by standard and tested and
proved techniques of both..citing case studies/examples.
Intelligence/counterintelligence collection and operations will be
looked into in detail , source operations/management , dissemination
management..all from the perspective of the ever important HUMINT and a
careful amalgamation with the counterintelligence element. The overall
thrust will be in the direction of combating terrorism/insurgency using
proven methods of both.

Course Title: Intelligence & Counterintelligence Course Level 1
Delivery Method: Online
Course Description:
Intelligence
is a critical part of operations. It is not separate from
operations. Information, on its own, is not intelligence. However, when
the intelligence process is properly applied, resulting intelligence
products allow the operational planners to effectively interpret
the environment , gain a good situation understanding , plan and
execute the operation successfully and forecast future actions or
trends.
Intelligence & Counterintelligence Course Level 1 focuses
on the intelligence process and counterintelligence and introduces the
current concept of Every Soldier is a Sensor or ES2.ES2 is the
overriding factor in the global transformation of intelligence and it
has been very successfully applied to situations in Iraq/Bosnia. A case
study has been elaborated to drive home the concept. The case study is
based on a real situation. Counterintelligence is treated with
reference to insurgency but the techniques can well be extrapolated and
applied to terrorism as well. The intelligence-operations dynamic has
been highlighted and the importance has been very clearly
outlined.HUMINT has been discussed in detail.The student is given a
thorough brush of HUMINT before being taken into the world of ES2 and
Counterintelligence. Initial lessons conform to doctrinal concepts but
gradually newer methods are focused upon.
The course is
designed with the student in mind and too much technical terms and
abbreviations are avoided. Any person with a security acumen can do
this course but once complete will have added a very good brief on
intelligence,counterintelligence and applications to his repository.
The
course has been designed by army officers and research scholars. The
RIEAS and ATAB top management staff have overseen the course
development.
