  • ICP -- a New Concept for Support to Combatant Commanders
    DYNAMIC PAGE -- HIGHEST POSSIBLE CLASSIFICATION IS TOP SECRET // SI / TK // REL TO USA AUS CAN GBR NZL (U) ICP -- A New Concept for Support to Combatant Commanders FROM: PACOM Account Manager (S112) Run Date: 06/18/2004 FROM: PACOM Account Manager (S112) (S) Since assuming the newly formed post of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)) in March 2003, Dr. Stephen Cambone has made improving intelligence support to Combatant Commanders a priority. Based on the study "Taking Stock of Defense Intelligence" undertaken at his direction last fall, and lessons learned from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), the USD(I) has introduced a new concept called "Intelligence Campaign Planning." The effective support of Combatant Commanders requires support agencies to create very detailed plans and the USD(I) has initiated an effort to come up with a comprehensive methodology for developing an integrated, fully coordinated, and executable Intelligence Campaign Plan (ICP). (S) To help focus the ICP effort, a decision was made to develop a plan in support of the Combined Forces Command (CFC) Korea -- specifically OPLAN 5027. On 2 March 2004, the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Warfighting Support, LTG Boykin, and Joint Chiefs of Staff J2, MG Burgess, co-hosted a conference at the Pentagon to design the way ahead. (S) Representatives from the Services, a number of Commands, and the Intelligence Community attended. BG DeFreitas, United States Forces Korea (USFK) J2, provided an overview of OPLAN 5027, outlining the campaign's operational objectives and identifying the key Priority Intelligence Requirements for each phase of operations.

It was the most high profile, public response and critique to-date of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Israel’s foremost US Lobby, whose mission is to quote “urge(s) all members of Congress to support Israel through foreign aid, government partnerships, (and) joint anti-terrorism efforts.” Just days earlier, from March 1st through 3rd, AIPAC had held its annual policy conference in our nation’s capital, celebrating the US Special Relationship with Israel. According to AIPAC’s web site more than half of the Senate, a third of the House of Representatives and countless Israeli and American policymakers were among the 14,000 attendees. In face of that long established relationship granted by the US to no other country, the organizers of the “The National Summit to Reassess the U.S.-Israel ‘Special Relationship’” hoped to open the door to an informed and inclusive national discussion about what they consider the pitfalls of this “special relationship” with Israel.

Received: 3 January 2014; in revised form: 19 May 2014 / Accepted: 20 May 2014 / Published: 1210 June 2014 Abstract: This article explores several key events in the last 12 years that led to periods of heightened suspicion about Islam and Muslims in the United States. It provides a brief overview of the rise of anti-Muslim and anti-Islam sentiment known as “Islamophobia”, and it investigates claims that American Muslims cannot be trusted to be loyal to the United States because of their religion. This research examines American Muslim perspectives on national security discourse regarding terrorism and radicalization, both domestic and foreign, after 9/11. The article argues that it is important to highlight developments, both progressive and conservative, in Muslim communities in the United States over the last 12 years that belie suspicions of widespread anti-American sentiment among Muslims or questions about the loyalty of American Muslims. The article concludes with a discussion of important shifts from a Muslim identity politics that disassociated from American identity and ‘American exceptionalism’ to a position of integration and cultural assimilation.
