Thomas, Jr. We all understand that the world holds a great deal of uncertainty and this uncertainty has sig- nificant implications for the Military Intelligence (MI) Corps. An excellent example of the chal- lenges the 21st century holds for the MI Corps is the mission in Kosovo. Operations in Kosovo included many of the challenges we expect in the small-scale contingency (SSC) operational environment. The task of organizing and execut- ing the Kosovo mission has challenged the MI Corps. Working from a structure more appro- priate for the Cold War than an SSC, MI lead- ers quickly established the necessary organi- zation and capabilities. We need to learn from their experiences. This Military Intelligence Professional Bulletin (MIPB) issue addresses the lessons that many individuals and units learned during these unique times.

I’m sure that this is not only a reflection point for us here in Kosovo, but for family and friends who await our return to our respective home states. I would guess that, for most of us, the halfway mark has come fast. It certainly has for me. First, with a bit of nostalgia, it seems like yesterday we accepted our guidons and uncased colors: Task Force Med Falcon shared the uncasing of their colors in the clamshell along with members of the KOA and KOS medical community, the maneuver and aviation battalion task forces and Special Troops Battalion (STB) TOA’s uncased their colors in their respective South Town/North Town gyms and clamshells, the EOD accepted their guidon following the traditional EOD sendoff explosion (followed by a not-so-traditional snowball fight), STB’s HHC held a very dignified ceremony in the South Town Theater, following quote from FM 3-07, where it defines what it calls “the and the LMT and MP transferred guidons in appropriate and essence of Stability Operations” by stating that “time may be the dignified ceremonies.

First, I want to say how impressed I am by the performance of MNTF-E since February. Together, we have accomplished much toward the security of the area, and most importantly, contributed substantially to the future development of the people of Kosovo. From the daily missions across the breadth of the MNTF-E area of operations, to the many development projects you have undertaken, you all should be proud of your accomplishments so far. In the middle of September I was able to travel back to the U.S. to support the training of the MNTF-E headquarters and the subordinate elements which will be replacing the current U.S. contingent of MNTF-E later this year. I was impressed with the skills they are demonstrating early in their post-mobilization training. It is evident that the work many of the current MNTF-E Guardian East.

Since the military humanitarian intervention in 1999, reconciliation process initiated by the European Union, U.S., and other members in the international community, began almost immediately after the war, in attempt to bring peace to the former Yugoslav republic and territory. However, little effort has been made in attempt to dissect and analyze the causes of the ethnic conflict, such as patterns of ethnic boundaries, given that ethnic tensions continue to challenge the peace-building process. This thesis research, therefore, investigates ethnic relations and changing ethnic boundaries in Kosovo between the years of 1980 and 2015.

  • Cultural Awareness
    From the Editor This issue’s theme is Cultural Awareness (CA) with an emphasis on the TRADOC and USAIC efforts, through the TRADOC Culture Center (TCC), to educate Soldiers in the whys and hows of using cultural tools for mission success. I include Mr. Dearing’s well-stated comments below on the philosophy behind the TCC as well as training methods used to achieve its goals. (More information about the TCC is inside the issue.) We have a wide range of articles to include one on the Canadian CA philosophy and training initiatives at the Canadian Forces School of Military Intelligence. Sterilla A. Smith Managing Editor The Global War on Terrorism and the War of Ideas On a daily basis the media interjects images of car bombings, suicide attacks, and other acts of violence into the public debate on the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), yet we are missing out on a signifi cant piece of this war. Outside of the violent war, there is actually another, more important war that will determine not only the future of Iraq but perhaps our success in the GWOT. The War of Ideas (WOI) is not a war you will hear about in the mass media, but it is the strategic epicenter of our struggle for the next quarter century. The WOI is fought not in the streets of Baghdad, Cairo, Damascus, or Khartoum, but in the minds of citizens whose role in the WOI is not underestimated by the extremist groups we are engaging. In order to win the WOI, we need to understand not only the culture of the local population but the culture that we, as Americans, bring with us so we can identify areas of confl ict.
