Q

Why should the Intel process be studied?

A

The process has direct and indirect involvement in National Security matters as well as knowing where you and your agency “fits” in the process.

Future employment/promotions frequently require knowledge or experience in Intel and its process

Q

True or false

There is competition for priorities to become important. When an issue/priority no longer is important, it is easy for that priority to return it to a lower priority as they become Less urgent.

A

Q

List:

What are the 4 major factors that affect the notion of identifying requirements in the Requirements step/phase?

A
  1. Time
  2. Budget
  3. Level of expertise
  4. Staffing
22
Q

should Policy makers give feedback to the Producers of the Intel that they received?

A

Yes

23
Q

What are three reasons why communication between pms and individuals who complete the Intel process is bad?

A
  1. Pms have little time to think and convey reactions
  2. Pms work from issue to issue
  3. Some pms simply don’t think giving feedback is necessary or important
24
Q

What is the 7th step to the Intel process?

A

Feedback

25
Q

What is the 6th step to the Intel cycle?

A

Consumption

26
Q

What is the 5th step in the Intel process?

A

Dissemination

27
Q

What is the 4th step to the Intel cycle?

A

Analysis and Production

28
Q

What is the 3rd step in the Intel cycle?

A

Processing and exploration

29
Q

What is the 2nd step in the Intel process?

A

Collection

30
Q

True/False

The Requirements phase cannot occur throughout all phases/steps of the intel process

A

False

This step/phase can occur in multiple steps the ought the process.

31
Q

True or False

The Requirement step/phase of the Intel process can be thought of as identifying the ______ to figuring out how we are going to start solving the problem with our _______

A

Problem

Resources

32
Q

Fill in the blank

The Requirement step/phase in the Intel process can be thought of as the _____ and ____ of the intelligence effort.

A

Management

Planning

33
Q

List:

Are what are the 2 steps that most Intel cycles do not include?

A

Consumption

Feedback

34
Q

Overall, the Intel cycle should be a _______

A

Guideline and a cycle that is flexible. Not something that is rigid and fixed.

35
Q

True or false:

The Intel process has to be completed in one cycle

A

False

Process might have to be done all over again, might have to go back a step, skip a step, etc.

36
Q

True or False:

The Intel cycle is too simplistic

A

True

37
Q

At which step do most Intel cycles end?

A

5th step/phase: Dissemination

38
Q

What happens during the Dissemination step/phase in the Intel process?

A

This step refers to the process of moving the Intel product from the producers( IC) to the consumers (pms)

39
Q

Which step is “largely standardized in the IC”

A

The Dissemination step

40
Q

Fill in the blank:

The step/phase of _______ produces information

A

Collection

41
Q

Describe the Wheat vs Chaff problem. What step/phase is this relevant in?

A

Increased collection also increases the task of finding the truly important Intel. In other words, more collection= increasing the task of finding Intel that actually matters/is important

Collection step

42
Q

Identifying requirements involve identifying the problem to figuring out how we are going to start solving the problem with our resources. It is important to stress the type of intelligence to be collected and the priority of the issue

A

.

43
Q

True or False

The step/phase of collection produces intelligence

A

False

This step produces Information

44
Q

True or False

The step of processing and exploration produces intelligence

A

False.

This step concerts the information into a usable form of the vast amount of info collected

45
Q

This step/phase converts information into a usable form of the vast amount of info collected

A

Processing and exploitation

46
Q

What is footnote wars?

A

.

47
Q

What are 3 components of a president’s daily briefs? What step is the relevant in?

A
  1. Delivered every morning
  2. Now under the responsibility of the DNI
  3. Formatted to the like of the president

Dissemination step

48
Q

What the the primary objective of the National Intelligence Estimates (NIE)

A

It attempts to estimate/for caste, NOT PREDICT an outcome

49
Q

True or False

The National Intelligence Estimaites try to predict an outcome.

A

False

They attempt to estimate/forecast an outcome

50
Q

Most Intel cycle do not include this step/phase that shows the process of policy makers getting their hands on the Intel they asked for

A

Consumption

51
Q

True or False

We need a Dialogue between consumers and producers. But they should not give feedback

A

1st sentence: True

2nd sentence: False.. Policy maker should always attempt to give feedback.

52
Q

List/explain

In reality, the Intel cycle operates as ____, ______, and _____ all at the same time.

A

Linear- sometimes it’s rigid.

Circular- it’s continuous circle

Open ended- needs to be flexible. Some steps may be repeated,skipped, or altered.
