Assignment

For this activity you are required to use the steps of the Intelligence Cycle to demonstrate your understanding of the Intelligence Process.

The module learning outcome addressed in this activity is:

• Apply the steps of the intelligence process to a specific scenario or Request For Information (FRI) (CO #2)

Create a PowerPoint Presentation that uses the steps of the Intelligence Cycle to answer a customer driven Request For Information (RFI).

Please review the following requirements for your slide presentation.

Slide 1: Cover slide that includes the assignment information and the Intelligence Agency you have chosen to work for in this assignment.

Slide 2 (RFI): Identify a group, organization, or individual to produce an RFI. You will need to do some initial research on your RFI topic to ensure there is information to answer your RFI. Choose your topic and write your RFI in the form of a question to be answered. For example: Have attacks from Boko Haram increased since pledging allegiance to ISIS? Your RFI should be only one question.

Slide 3 (Planning and Direction): Create three Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIR). Each PIR should also ask only one question. For example:

PIR 1: How many attacks did Boko Haram conduct annually before pledging allegiance to ISIS?

PIR 2: How many attacks did Boko Haram conduct annually after pledging allegiance to ISIS?

PIR 3: If the current attacks by Boko Haram are lower annually, have attacks been planned, but not executed?

Slide 4 (Collection): Provide a collection plan indicating which intelligence disciplines you will task to collect the information needed to answer each PIR. For example:

PIR	HUMINT	SIGINT	MASINT	GEOINT/IMINT	OSINT
PIR 1	XX			XX	XX
PIR 2	XX			XX	XX
PIR 3	XX	XX		XX	XX

Slide 5 (Processing): Explain how you would use each INT that has a "XX" to answer each PIR. For example:

PIR 1: HUMINT can be tasked to provide information on the number of attacks that have occurred in 2014 prior to Boko Haram pledging allegiance to ISIS.

Slides 6 and as needed (Analysis and Production): Write a final intelligence product that answers the RFI. This may take one slide, but no more than three slides to create. Open Source (OSINT) will obviously be the primary source for factual information, but you should create "assignment only" intelligence for the other INTs to validate your assessments. For example:

Executive Summary: Reporting indicates that Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria slightly increased following their pledge to ISIS. However, Boko Haram attacks significantly increased in Niger, Chad, and Cameroon following the group's allegiance to the Islamic State.

OSINT reporting indicated that Boko Haram attacks increased by 5% in 2015 following joining ISIS. However, reporting also noted that Boko Haram conducted its first attack in Chad in 2015. HUMINT reports indicate that the amount of Boko Haram fighters has increased in Cameroon, which supports reported increased attacks of 37 events in Cameroon following their pledge to ISIS.

This example is brief, but it demonstrates the final write up and cites a "HUMINT" report which does not actually exist.

Final Slide (Sources): List the sources that you have researched on this slide. Also list any of the source information that you have created for the assignment. While you are allowed to create some of the intelligence you will use, you are still required to provide sources of your academic research for this assignment. In other words, you cannot create 100% of the intelligence, but must include some factual information on your RFI answer.
