  • Guidelines on SPECIAL BRANCH WORK in the United Kingdom
    Guidelines on SPECIAL BRANCH WORK in the United Kingdom Foreword Within the police service, Special Branches play a key role in protecting the public and maintaining order. They acquire and develop intelligence to help protect the public from national security threats, especially terrorism and other extremist activity, and through this they play a valuable role in promoting community safety and cohesion. These revised Guidelines – which replace the Guidelines issued in 1994 – describe the current broad range of Special Branch roles and functions at national, regional and local levels. Although Special Branches continue to have important roles in the policing of extremist activity and in the provision of personal protection for VIPs and Royalty, counter terrorist work, in close co-operation with the Security Service (MI5), is currently the main focus of their activity. The current nature of the terrorist threat requires a flexible response and we are encouraged by the development of regional structures which will enhance this approach. In addition, the appointment of the National Co-ordinator of Special Branch will help ensure an even more effective joined-up approach. We are grateful for the professionalism and efficiency with which all Special Branch Officers carry out their duties and we hope that the revised Guidelines provide a useful tool in describing and putting into context the essential nature of Special Branch working. We commend them to you. The Rt Hon David Blunkett MP Cathy Jamieson MSP The Rt Hon Jane Kennedy MP Secretary of State for Minister for Justice Minister of State for the Home Department Northern Ireland GUIDELINES ON SPECIAL BRANCH WORK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM PURPOSE 1.

  • Chairman's Introduction
    a. Chairman’s Introduction “The army does not determine its own structure, rules and methods of action … the organization of the army and the determination of its character – all these are within the sole capacity of civilian authorities: the Government, the Knesset and the voters.” (David Ben Gurion, Army and Defense, pages 141-142.) In the past decade, Israel’s intelligence services have faced three crucial challenges to their ability to detect the development of non-conventional warfare and ground-to-ground missiles in second and third tier countries. • In Iran, where they earned significant success by being among the first intelligence services to detect its efforts to develop a military nuclear industry already in the mid-Nineties. • In Iraq, where they had a certain lack of success in their efforts to establish elaborate Humint and Sigint systems that would be able to trace the existence and/or absence of its chemical and biological weapons systems and their missile capability in real time. • In Libya, where they failed to disclose the overall picture and woke up one fine morning to learn from foreign intelligence services of the real scope of that country’s efforts to obtain nuclear weapons that could threaten Israel’s very existence. With all due respect to innovative methods and brilliant operations – which took place in all the above three cases – these do not add up to the minimal achievement required in matters so essential to our national security. Thus, for example, the idea that a hostile Arab country like Libya, with a leader as unpredictable as Gaddafi, could have developed an elaborate nuclear industry without Israel’s intelligence services giving it the necessary early 5 warning to tackle the threat, or at least to prepare for it in good time, is simply intolerable.

  • A Short History of Army Intelligence
    A Short History of Army Intelligence by Michael E. Bigelow, Command Historian, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command Introduction On July 1, 2012, the Military Intelligence (MI) Branch turned fi fty years old. When it was established in 1962, it was the Army’s fi rst new branch since the Transportation Corps had been formed twenty years earlier. Today, it remains one of the youngest of the Army’s fi fteen basic branches (only Aviation and Special Forces are newer). Yet, while the MI Branch is a relatively recent addition, intelligence operations and functions in the Army stretch back to the Revolutionary War. This article will trace the development of Army Intelligence since the 18th century. This evolution was marked by a slow, but steady progress in establishing itself as a permanent and essential component of the Army and its operations. Army Intelligence in the Revolutionary War In July 1775, GEN George Washington assumed command of the newly established Continental Army near Boston, Massachusetts. Over the next eight years, he dem- onstrated a keen understanding of the importance of MI. Facing British forces that usually outmatched and often outnumbered his own, Washington needed good intelligence to exploit any weaknesses of his adversary while masking those of his own army. With intelligence so imperative to his army’s success, Washington acted as his own chief of intelligence and personally scrutinized the information that came into his headquarters. To gather information about the enemy, the American com- mander depended on the traditional intelligence sources avail- able in the 18th century: scouts and spies.

  • Russian Military Intelligence: Background and Issues for Congress
    Russian Military Intelligence: Background and Issues for Congress November 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46616 SUMMARY R46616 Russian Military Intelligence: Background and November 24, 2020 Issues for Congress Andrew S. Bowen Following Russia’s occupation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and invasion of eastern Ukraine in Analyst in Russian and 2014, many observers have linked Russia to additional malicious acts abroad. U.S. and European European Affairs officials and analysts have accused Russia of, among other things, interfering in U.S. elections in 2016; attempting a coup in Montenegro in 2016; conducting cyberattacks against the World Anti- Doping Agency and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in 2016 and 2018, respectively; attempting to assassinate Russian intelligence defector Sergei Skripal in the United Kingdom in 2018; and offering “bounties” to Taliban-linked fighters to attack U.S. personnel in Afghanistan. Implicated in all these activities is Russia’s military intelligence agency, the Main Directorate of the General Staff (GU), also known as the GRU. The United States has indicted GRU officers and designated the GRU for sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, cybercrimes, and election interference. The Department of Justice has indicted GRU officers for cyber-related offenses against the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, NotPetya malware attacks in 2017, various cyberattacks against the 2018 Olympics, and interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. The GRU as an agency has been designated for sanctions under Executive Order 13694, as amended, and Section 224 of the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017 (CRIEEA; P.L.

  • Ethics of Human Intelligence Operati'ons: ~F MICE and Men Donald A
    Ethics of Human Intelligence Operati'ons: ~f MICE and Men Donald A. Petkus . Recent debates on the ethics of espionage seem to center on questions of technical data collection and privacy rights, interrogation, covert intervention in foreign affairs (e.g., regime change), renditions, and conflicts of interest, but seldom .on the recruitment and management of agents. One issue that arises from the current espionage and ter­ rorism environment concerns standards for ethical decision making. For compelling reasons, members of the intelligence community must address the ethical issues Specific to human intelligence (HUMINT) . operatIOns. For those outside the intelligence community, the term "espionage ethics" may seem oxymoronic. With few exceptions, intelligence col­ lection overseas violates the target country's laws. Being expected to break a foreign country's laws and manipulate its citizens is part of the job for an intelligence officer, yet she or he is expected to scru­ pulously adhere to her or his own country's laws and professional standards. To some, the idea of espionage is itself distasteful. Prior to World War I, some of Great Britain's military attaches took the view that actual spying on the host country was ungentlemanly conduct for a "guest." For others, operational work with agents seemed to grate against their sensibilities, as in the case of an officer assigned to Ber­ lin just prior to World War I: With war now inevitable, Sir William Everett, the British military at­ tache in Berlin was asked by the Intelligence Branch to continue in secret service after leaving Germany. He declined, saying: "You will not have forgotten when we talked this matter over some months ago, that I mentioned how distasteful it would be to me when it no longer formed a necessary part of my duties.
