2000 Reynolds (US) Global Reach without Global Intelligence

Civil Society, Historic Contributions, Military, Non-Governmental

Mr. Thomas Reynolds, the Deputy J-2 for the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANCOM) provided an overview of all the places in the Third World where TRASCOM supports not just Special Operations and normal US military forces, but humanitarian assistance endeavors. As USMC and USSOCOM discovered in 1988, we do not have 1:50,000 combat charts for 90% of the Third World, and that is still largely true today (the vaunted shuttle mission came back with a lot of swiss cheese).

The short text summary and the slides are contained in the same document. What we have learned over the years is that the global providers of lift and logistics are the red-headed step-children of the government world, the last to receive proper intellience support, and the most likely to benefit hugely from Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).

2000 Sandman (US) Applied Human Intellect: Interpreting the Data Bits

Commerce, Historic Contributions

Mike Sandman, along with Jan Herring and Leonard Fuld, is arguably one of America's top commercial or competitive intelligence providers. He has in many ways defined the emergent industry, which still lacks sufficient appreciation for many factors including energy and environmental and human.

2003 Brahimi (AF) Report Extracts from the Executive Summary and Links to the Full Report of the United Nations (UN) Panel on Peace Operations

Peace Intelligence, UN/NGO, United Nations & NGOs

Below are the extracts from the Executive Summary of the Brahimi Report (Report of the United Nations Panel on Peace Operations) as they appeared in PEACEKEEPING INTELLIGENCE: Emerging Concepts for the Future. The extracts focus on the decision-support aspects of the report–the UN cannot get the strategic mandate right, the operational force structure right, the tactical rules of engagement right, or even the technical sufficiency (e.g. 1:50,000 combat charts) right without intelligence (decision-support).

Below is the complete report online, both in online form and as a free down-loadable paginated PDF.
