• Journal of Strategic Intelligence [website]

  Show summary     Open resource [html]     (open full abstract)

  "The Journal of Strategic Intelligence is an occasional journal of the College of Strategic Intelligence, National Intelligence University [NIU]. Our purpose is to publish scholarly research by U.S. intelligence analysts and security professionals that constitutes or contributes to strategic intelligence--that is, a comprehensive understanding of current or emerging regional and transnational issues broadly that will significantly impact national security or interests. We seek insightful analysis that more rigorously captures the empirical complexity of these security-related issues, in their diverse causes, shaping factors, as well as the opportunities to contain them or shape them in our national interest. Some of the articles within this journal by NIU faculty members will highlight graduate student thesis research and the role this research plays in advancing the understanding of critical strategic intelligence issues. The Journal of Strategic Intelligence seeks to fill a gap in the various related official and academic journals on strategic intelligence. This focus on strategic intelligence notwithstanding, we have made room in each issue for research related to intelligence improvement--in processes, organization, leadership, security-related education, and understanding of historical regional and transnational issues, to the extent they illuminate those of the present."

• Offshore Seismic Surveys: Additional Guidance Needed to Help Ensure Timely Reviews, Statement of Jon Ludwigson, Acting Director, Natural Resources and Environment, Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources, Committee on Natural Resources, House of Representatives

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "Ships conduct seismic surveys by shooting soundwaves into the ocean floor to collect data, including on geology that might indicate oil and gas. Applicants wishing to conduct oil and gas surveys must get a permit from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and, if the survey could harm marine mammals, they must obtain authorization from one or two federal wildlife agencies. Some applicants have questioned the speed of the permit process. We examined the permit process and time frames in different regions. In the report on which this testimony is based, we recommended that wildlife agencies clarify their processes to ensure timely reviews."

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  "TRADOC [U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command] Pamphlet 525-8-6, The U.S. Army Concept for Cyberspace and Electronic Warfare Operations expands on the ideas presented in TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, The U.S. Army Operating Concept: Win in a Complex World (AOC). This document describes how the Army will operate in and through cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum and will fully integrate cyberspace, electronic warfare (EW), and electromagnetic spectrum operations as part of joint combined arms operations to meet future operational environment challenges. Cyberspace and EW operations provide commanders the ability to conduct simultaneous, linked maneuver in and through multiple domains, and to engage adversaries and populations where they live and operate. Cyberspace and EW operations provide commanders a full range of physical and virtual, as well as kinetic and non-kinetic, capabilities tailored into combinations that enhance the combat power of maneuver elements conducting joint combined operations. This concept serves as a foundation for developing future cyberspace and electronic warfare capabilities and helps Army leaders think clearly about future armed conflict, learn about the future through the Army's campaign of learning, analyze future capability gaps and identify opportunities, and implement interim solutions to improve current and future force combat effectiveness."

• Vulnerability of U.S. Agriculture to Foot and Mouth Disease

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the thesis abstract: "The U.S. livestock industry represents a critical economic infrastructure, due to its size and influence on national and international agricultural systems. The high-concentration farming practices that allow the United States to be a world leader in agriculture also present a vulnerability to biological pathogens, particularly foot and mouth disease (FMD). The purpose of this thesis is to stimulate and broaden the discussion of the U.S. livestock industry's susceptibility to an FMD outbreak, regardless of how it is introduced. It reviews case studies of prominent outbreaks in the United Kingdom (2001) and Taiwan (1997). The themes that emerged from these case studies--responsibility and response--informed a discussion of ways to increase U.S. efficiency when responding to an FMD outbreak. The case studies illustrate that FMD outbreaks in thriving livestock industries can have devastating economic, social, and political consequences. The United States should address these and other international FMD outbreaks to improve the preparedness and resilience of the U.S. livestock industry to an outbreak of FMD."
