Military Intelligence3military Intelligenceby Don Adamson Design Director 32 Lessons Learned: a Ground Surveillance System Platoon in Specialist Ernesto A From the Editor “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? ... for precept must be upon precept, ... line upon line... here a little, and there a little.” -Isaiah 28:9-10 (KJV) Even in ancient times, a solid foundation of doctrine has been a non-negotiable prerequisite for success. Army Intelligence doctrine changes as appropriate and as required. The primary impetus towards positive change begins with the observations and lessons learned that impact real-world implementation of tactics, techniques, and procedures. Doctrine was never intended to be so abstract that an advanced degree in physics is required to comprehend it; instead, doctrine is supposed to build, with theory and reality supporting one another. The theoretical underpinning provides the basic material that is adapted to the particular venue; the real-world applications, in turn, sometimes change our methodologies. Technology and advanced capabilities significantly influence the type and na- ture of data needed and desired by decision makers. Innovative and adaptive field expedient methods can become doctrinal solutions. For all these reasons, doctrine is always evolving and adapting. For all these reasons, we need to hear from you, in the field, how you conduct business—what are your successes? Failures? And what can or should be done to fix these matters? In this issue, Doctrine Corner specifically lays out the questions and base-line queries for which we are actively seeking answers. Elsewhere, we lay out some of the specific observations thus far collected, and outline how these observations may impact current Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF). We invite you to consider the questions in light of your own experiences, and to submit your responses to the Lessons Learned team. We would also like to share your knowledge with the rest of our readership—so write us an article, or even a Letter to the Editor. This is YOUR magazine—and as such, the thought-pieces presented are likely to provoke some of you to write. We welcome your letters and, as time and space permit, will publish as appropriate. This is a period of tremendous Operational Tempo for the entire Army, and particularly for the Intelligence Community. Despite these demands, you have shared your knowledge and experience with the rest of the readership. We extend our sincere thanks to all who contributed their time and effort to the creation of this issue of MIPB. CW3 Del E.

Dramatic License: Histories Of Kenyan Theater, 1895-1964 Abstract This dissertation demonstrates how theatrical performances allowed for African political interventions into many of the most significant political moments in enyK a’s colonial history. Though the African majority was largely blocked from participation in the white settler colony’s centralized political institutions, many Africans found roles as musicians, audience members, and even actors within their colonizers’ ubiquitous pastime of amateur theater. By refashioning themselves as performers, disenfranchised people of color reinvented themselves as political actors—arming themselves with the language and ideology of the imperial state and using that language to both participate in and to undermined colonial politics. Bringing expressive culture to bear on Kenyan history, suggests that East African political culture has a dual nature that complicates narratives of collaboration or resistance. The great body of studies published on Kenyan colonial history to this point have given us a rich understanding of both ethno-historical forces and the frameworks of major political tensions.

  • The Practice and Poetics of Fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the Study of Camouflage
    The Practice and Poetics of Fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage. Journal of Historical Geography Abstract This paper examines the practice and poetics of the British zoologist Hugh Cott’s fieldwork in order to explore the hybrid nature of developments in biological and military camouflage. Specifically focusing on two fieldtrips conducted in the 1920s to the Amazon and the Zambesi, and by examining how Cott communicated his scientific findings through photography and art this paper reveals that the performance of scientific knowledge production is spatially contingent; born of embodied, creative and demanding experiences and through multiple human and nonhuman engagements. Finally, it examines how this knowledge was transferred and utilised to develop mid-twentieth military camouflage. Thus, this paper considers how the craft and aesthetics of fieldwork shapes how nature is observed, recorded and communicated as scientific knowledge and military technology. Keywords: fieldwork, biography, camouflage, science, art, observation 1 Hugh Cott (1900-1987) was a British zoologist, dedicated to the study of adaptive coloration in nature (or camouflage); he was also a proficient wildlife photographer, gifted technical illustrator and influential Second World War camoufleur. The relationship between Cott’s scientific-self and these other diverse and seemingly discrete aspects of his character raises interesting questions surrounding the cultural nature of knowledge production and the performance of science. In particular, Cott’s combined use of the scientific and the aesthetic to communicate the uses of biology to the military is a useful means through which to narrate the history of camouflage as an entanglement of science, art and militarism.

  • PRACTISE »DECEIVE Learning Curves of Military Deception Planners PRACTISE to DECEIVE
    PRACTISE »DECEIVE Learning Curves of Military Deception Planners PRACTISE to DECEIVE Written by the undisputed dean of U.S. denial and deception experts, Practise to Deceive is the most in-depth look at deception as a military strategy Barton Whaley knew the history of denial and deception across time, disciplines, and culture. For Whaley, deception was a mind game requiring imagination, deep critical thought, a profound understanding of one’s self as well as the enemy (a variation of Sun Tzu), and patience and fortitude. This book presents eighty-eight vividly descriptive case studies to serve as a handbook for intelligence and military professionals. In Whaley’s analysis, variations in guilefulness between opposing individuals or groups can be crucial in deciding who achieves vic­ tory in combat. BARTON WHALEY (1928-2013) received his bachelor of arts degree in Chinese studies from the University of California, Berkeley, before serving with the intelligence section of U.S. Army Psychological Warfare headquartered in Tokyo during the Korean War. Following the war he attended London University School of Oriental and African Studies before receiving his PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was affiliated with the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and worked for the director of National Security’s Foreign Denial and Deception Committee of the Director of National Intelligence.

(Ronald Penrose, 1941, Home Guard Manual of Camouflage, p.13) This thesis approaches the cultures and geographies of military conflict, charting the history of military camouflage through a multi-faceted biography of this technology’s life-path. By studying the scientific biography of Dr Hugh Cott (1900-1987), eminent zoologist and skilful artist turned camoufleur in WWII, entwined with the fragmentary mobile biographies of other camouflage practioners, including artists, animals and even a magician, the sites and spacings of camouflage’s life-path from the late-nineteenth century into the Desert War are traced.
