July - September 2008 PB 34-O8-3 MI MISSIONS OF THE NEAR FUTURE MIPB_Jul-Sep_08_Master.indd 1 11/25/2008 10:50:34 AM FROM THE EDITOR Military Intelligence (MI) is always engaged and always looking forward with an eye to future threats. This issue takes a look at how MI is adapting to the current operational environment and developing tactics, techniques, and procedures to counter the threat today and in the near future. Two articles speak to the use of persistent surveillance to support the current fight, capabilities and lim- itations, and employment in the future modular force. An article from the 82nd Airborne Division talks about an initiative from the 1/82 BCT, the Special Weapons Exploitation Team, an internally resourced BCT capability to analyze enemy effects and counter threat weapons/tactics in today’s and tomorrow’s complex combat environments. The MI Noncommissioned Officers’ Academy has recently upgraded its automation to enhance training by adding a Thin Client to each student’s workstation. This and near future plans to take advantage of OSINT data in training are explained in the CSM Forum. Also included are articles on the Red Teaming concept, adapting Counterintelligence to counter low in- tensity collection of technology, and an introduction to the Defense Support to Civil Authorities Disaster Intelligence concept. Personal experiences from Iraq are related in two articles, one dealing with working with Coalition intel- ligence forces; and the other with border operations with the Iraqi Security Forces. A historical perspective takes a look at the causes of the resurgency of the Taliban in Afghanistan Finally, a reprint of an article from the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Communique describes that agen- cy’s efforts to provide its employees with the kind of work environment needed to successfully support the Warfighter. Check out the inside back cover which summarizes the Initial Draft updates and changes to the Army’s keystone doctrine on intelligence, FM 2-0. When published, it will replace the current FM 2-0, 17 May 2004, with Change 1 dated 11 September 2008. You will notice photos of some very old equipment used by MI professionals in the earlier days of MI in this issue. The photos were taken at the Army Intelligence Museum located at Building 41411, Hungerford and Rhea Streets, Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. A very worthwhile visit, the museum is open Monday through Friday from 0900 to 1600, and Saturday and Sunday from 1300 to 1600. We have resumed printing.
