Project Title: ISIS research

Description: In the first assignment I chose to write about ISIS. I have attached my first assignment. I got an 81 on the first assignment with feedback stating:

One of the things required in these paper is detail. Simple things like:

1. Where is your group located geographically?

2. How many are there? Are their numbers growing or declining?

3. What is their net worth? Where are they getting funding from? You will need to look for specific numbers and cite your sources.

4. How is the group a threat to the US? Is it an indirect or direct threat?

5. What kinds of weapons do they have? Be specific. Where do they obtain them from?

The requirements for the next essay are as follows:

Building on the information that you prepared from your Midterm Assignment (but without repeating what you wrote), prepare a research paper that addresses the below information in 5-7 pages:

For the terrorist organization likely to conduct an attack within the United States that you selected, determine:

• What data collection programs would be best utilized on the organization you selected?
• Which members of the IC would be the best collectors of intelligence on this particular organization?
• What intelligence analysis strategies would be the most effective and why?

Note: As a paper for an HLSS course, these questions are to be answered as it relates to collecting and analyzing intelligence on the group's plans and activities within the U.S. as they prepare to attack so that law enforcement and security officials can prevent or disrupt the attack (and you will address those countermeasures in your final paper).

Clarification on assignments: The first paper (the midterm) was about the group you selected and was basically from a historical perspective about the group. The second paper (the progress assignment) is a red cell where you put yourself in the shoes of the terrorist group by thinking like they would to determine how the U.S. can do intelligence collection on the terrorist group. NOTE: This is still an academic paper, so you should not write in first person.
