Attached is a set of slides given to me, unofficially, by John Brennan, the Director of

TTIC. They lay out a case for the joint mission center concept in the Intelligence
Community, a concept that plays a prominent role in Chapter 13.

Brennan's specific organizational prescriptions are not adapted, of course, to the

structural reforms we have been developing, but they are suggestive.

Brennan, like others in FBI and at Defense, is sympathetic to the concept of a National
Counterterrorism Center with powers akin to those we suggest, though no one has seen or
vetted the particular formulation we have developed.

Integration Imperative
Intelligence mission broadening, deepening,
becoming more complex.
• Quantity and sophistication of intelligence
"targets" increasing.

• Integration of intelligence capability against

"targets" required to meet intelligence challenges,

• Finite intelligence resources need to be arrayed

and allocated according to prioritization of
targets.

DCI/DDCI cannot be "subject matter experts "

on all intelligence issues and lead/manage
CIA and the 1C.

• DCI/DDCI spend virtually their entire day on

the substance of intelligence - worldwide
subject matter experts.

• They work through others to manage the

Agency and orchestrate other Intelligence
Community functions.

CZ4 and 1C architecture of functional stove

pipes perpetuates diffusion of responsibility
and ambiguity of authority.
• Many different individuals are responsible for a
"share" of a particular intelligence target.

• We know who is responsible for HUMINT but we do

not know who is responsible for China?

• "If everyone is responsible, no one is responsible"

Admiral Rickover.

• We need to structure ourselves - and evaluate our

performance - against targets ... not capabilities.

System redesign necessary to achieve more

effective management of intelligence mission
and integration of resources and capabilities.
• Immediate need for a new overall intelligence
framework (Goldwater-Nichols equivalent).

• Too many single-component / single-agency tactical

adjustments being made without the benefit of an
overall "system-of-systems" construct.

• A new intelligence architecture needs to be forged

that fuses intelligence capabilities and knowledge
below the DCI level.
The Ideal "System-of-Systems " Must...

Ensure maximum integration.

Be "target focused" yet flexible.

Have clear and unambiguous lines of responsibility

and authority.

Have resource transparency.

Be efficient and streamlined.

Each Target-Focused Center Would:

• Be led by an Associate Director of Intelligence for

(target), who would be responsible for the
intelligence mission against the target.
• Operate as a joint command.
• Be enabled by those responsible for capabilities
and support.
• Be overseen by the equivalent of a DCI-led joint
chiefs.
