Welcome to WAR College!
Welcome to the home page of your college. You will soon be entering into the mysterious world(well its really full of mystery to outsiders and even to some insiders!!) of Intelligence and Counterintelligence.You will be learning the basics of asymmetric warfare , insurgency-terrorism , how intelligence is defined,how it is put into action , what is CI and the inherent power of CI to detect spies...the myriad world of CI and lots of other concepts.This course is very different as it is very very current-methodology based.You are uptodate with recent tactics/techniques and procedures.
Intelligence is extremely important in homeland defense and security. Our society is suspicious of intrusions on personal liberties. Mandated identity cards, restricted vehicle access and random searches of airline passengers are generally not well received. That makes it especially important to prevent terrorist attacks by interdicting the terrorists and their resources before they can reach their targets. The primary means of accomplishing this is through a combination of intelligence and law enforcement work.
Military intelligence branches have been extremely effective while operating in various countries with the use of multiple forms of intelligence:
Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), Strategic Intelligence (STRATINT), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and Technical Intelligence (TECHINT). Simply stated, and reduced to the lowest common denominator, intelligence is information of the world about us. Regardless of the form of intelligence, the world can be divided into short-term, narrow focus, Tactical Intelligence, and longterm broad focus, Strategic Intelligence.
This course will rapidly take you through the basics of intelligence/counterintelligence followed by standard and tested and proved techniques of both..citing case studies/examples.Intelligence/counterintelligence collection and operations will be looked into in detail , source operations/management , dissemination management..all from the perspective of the ever important HUMINT and a careful amalgamation with the counterintelligence element.The overall thrust will be in the direction of combating terrorism/insurgency using proven methods of both.
