The following is quotes from the notes of this first slide, as presented to OSS '02:

“Although it follows logically from much that is found in the first book (ON INTELLIGENCE: Spies and Secrecy in an Open World), I want to give credeit to Berto Jongman and the PIOOM project.  It was his map that brought it all together for me, and it is his map that I recognize today as the finest open source intelligence document in the world.”

This was my first attempt to formalize the two major paradigm changes that the Department of Defense continues to resist at levels below the Secretary of Defense, himself an intelligence professional:

Need to shift from state-based threats with fixed addresses to non-state threats able to play “off the shelf.”

Need to shift from heavy reliance on high-tech secret sources to low-tech human and open sources.

PLATINUM  LCdr Andrew Chester, RN, Canada
LCdr Andrew Chester, RN, Canada, has distinguished himself, first, as a pioneer for the exploiotation of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) within and throughout the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Partners for Peace (PfP), and subsequently as a trainer and practitioner with an especially constructive influence upon the international military environment.

If BGen Jim Cox (CA) was the visionary within NATO who saw the need and orchestrated the direction, LCdr Andrew Chester (CA) was the “doer” who executed the single most intelligent and original Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) conceptual process it has ever been our pleasure to support.    He is one of a dozen Platinum Lifetime Award receipients from the first 20 years of group endeavor.  Below is his presentation to OSS '01.

2001 Dziedzic (US) Information Technology as a Catalyst for Civil-Military Unity of Effort: The Kosovo Test Case

USIP Bio Page

Col Michael J. Dziedzic is one of those very rare officers of such intelligence and integrity that he was able to run against the grain for years, focusing on the vital importance of civil-military operations other than war (OOTW) that were “buried” by a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who said (we are not making this up), “Real men don't do OOTW.”  Of course the Defense Science Board Report on Transitions to and From Hostilities (December 2004) and the current Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, say otherwise.  Principle co-author with Ambassador Bob Oakley of Policing the New World Disorder, still the seminal work in the field, this is an officer, along with Colonel Ferd Irizzary, whom we hope to see earn multiple promotions as we all realize that a multinational multifunctional Earth Rescue Network is a non-negotiable first step to “getting a grip.”  We hold this officer in the very highest esteem.
