Bureau of Diplomatic Security - Diplomatic Security Service
As the Department of State's security and law enforcement arm, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security plays
an essential yet behind-the-scenes role: To provide a safe and secure environment for the conduct of
U.S. foreign policy. Not only is Diplomatic Security a unique organization in the foreign affairs
community--it is the only law enforcement agency with representation in nearly every country in the
world.
Diplomatic Security has offices throughout the United States staffed with special agents and contract
investigators. These agents form the backbone of DS's investigative mission, conducting criminal,
counterterrorism, and background investigations. Agents assigned to field and resident offices assist in
providing support to the protection of the Secretary of State, the U.S. Ambassador to the United
Nations, and visiting foreign dignitaries. In addition, they are charged with security support for resident
foreign diplomats and assistance to the private sector through the Overseas Security Advisory Council.
Liaison with federal and local law enforcement, foreign mission personnel, local officials, and the private
sector complements their major responsibilities.

E-mail: tsc@tsc.gov
The Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) maintains the U.S. government’s consolidated Terrorist Watchlist—
a single database of identifying information about those known or reasonably suspected of being
involved in terrorist activity.
By supporting the ability of front line screening agencies to positively identify known or suspected
terrorists trying to obtain visas, enter the country, board aircraft, or engage in other activity, the
consolidated Terrorist Watchlist is one of the most effective counterterrorism tools for the U.S.
government.
TSC is leading significant improvements in counterterrorism information sharing among federal, state,
local, and international agencies by distributing information about encounters with known or suspected
terrorists reported to its 24/7 call center.

El Paso Intelligence Center -- http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/programs/epic.htm
Access: https://www.esp.gov
The El Paso Intelligence Center was established in 1974 in response to a study by the Justice
Management Division of the U.S. Department of Justice entitled, "A Secure Border." Recommendation
number 7 of this study suggested the establishment of a southwest border intelligence center to be led
by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and staffed by representatives of that agency, as well as
the U.S. Customs Service. The initial focus of the Center was to assist in the identification of drug
traffickers and alien traffickers along the U.S. - Mexico border.
In 2001, immediately after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC, the multiagency
environment of EPIC was called upon to support investigations to find those responsible. EPIC’s mission
evolved from its experience in supporting interdiction efforts and investigations regarding drug
trafficking, alien and weapon smuggling, and other criminal activities, by adding counterterrorism to its
efforts.
EPIC is now staffed with over 300 personnel and liaison officers from 15 agencies. Agencies currently
represented at EPIC include the Drug Enforcement Administration; Department of Homeland Security;
Customs & Border Protection; Immigration & Customs Enforcement; U.S. Coast Guard; Federal Bureau
of Investigation; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; U.S. Secret Service; U.S. Marshals
Service; National Drug Intelligence Center; Internal Revenue Service; U.S. Department of the Interior;
National Geospatial–Intelligence Agency; U.S. Department of Defense; Joint Task Force–North; Joint
Interagency Task Force–South; Texas Department of Public Safety; Texas Air National Guard; and the El
Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
EPIC’s vision is to continue to provide timely and expeditious support to Federal, State, local, tribal, and
international law enforcement agencies and to remain the premier tactical operational intelligence
center in the nation.

Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU) -- http://leiu-homepage.org/index.php
In the mid 1950's, local and state law enforcement agencies in the United States recognized that no
single agency or organization was responsible for receiving, collating, maintaining, and disseminating
information on persons involved in organized crime. These law enforcement agencies surmised correctly
that organized crime would exploit advancing technologies in transportation and communications,
become more mobile, and increase their spheres of influence and criminal activities. As a result, twenty-
six (26) law enforcement agencies met in San Francisco, California on March 29, 1956 to discuss
problems and possible solutions. The most important result of that meeting was the creation of the LEIU
– The LAW ENFORCEMENT INTELLIGENCE UNIT and the development of an organizational purpose that
survives to this day. The purpose of LEIU is to gather, record, and exchange confidential information not

STANDARDS AND PROTOCOLS
Information Evaluation (Source Reliability and Content Validity)
Information used to develop intelligence comes from a variety of sources, with a wide degree of
reliability and credibility. It is the job of the intelligence analyst to use these sources of information to
build an accurate and up-to-date picture of the current situation and operational environment in order
to allow users of produced intelligence products to make informed decisions.
In order to produce accurate intelligence products the information fed into the intelligence cycle must
be evaluated for reliability and accuracy. In intelligence reporting information is evaluated and assigned
an alphanumeric designation which reflects the reliability of the source of the information based on past
experience and the accuracy of the information provided as it relates to other information already
known.
There are two standardized systems of information evaluation: the LEIU Criminal Intelligence File
Guidelines and the NATO STANAG 2022 military guideline.
The LEIU Criminal Intelligence File Guidelines provide the following standard for source / information
evaluation. (http://www.it.ojp.gov/documents/LEIU_Crim_Intell_File_Guidelines.pdf)
"Information to be retained in the criminal intelligence file should be evaluated and designated for
reliability and content validity prior to filing. The bulk of the data an intelligence unit receives consists of
unverified allegations or information. Evaluating the information's source and content indicates to future
users the information's worth and usefulness. Circulating information which may not have been
evaluated, where the source reliability is poor or the content validity is doubtful, is detrimental to the
agency's operations and contrary to the individual's right to privacy. To ensure uniformity with the
intelligence community, it is strongly recommended that stored information be evaluated according to
the criteria set forth below.
Source Reliability:
(A) Reliable - The reliability of the source is unquestioned or has been well tested in the past.
(B) Usually Reliable - The reliability of the source can usually be relied upon as factual. The
majority of information provided in the past has proven to be reliable.
(C) Unreliable - The reliability of the source has been sporadic in the past.
(D) Unknown -The reliability of the source cannot be judged. Its authenticity or trustworthiness
has not yet been determined by either experience or investigation.
Content Validity:
(1) Confirmed - The information has been corroborated by an investigator or

another independent, reliable source.
(2) Probable - The information is consistent with past accounts.
(3) Doubtful - The information is inconsistent with past accounts.
(4) Cannot Be Judged - The information cannot be judged. Its authenticity

has not yet been determined by either experience or investigation.
The military uses a similar system of evaluation based on the letters A-F and the numbers 1-6, as
referenced in NATO STANAG 2022, and various other military publications.
Reliability of Source Accuracy of Information
A – Completely Reliable 1 – Confirmed By Other Source

B – Usually Reliable 2 – Probably True
C – Fairly Reliable 3 – Possibly True
D – Not Usually Reliable 4 – Doubtful
E – Unreliable 5 – Improbable
F – Reliability Cannot Be Judged 6 – Truth Cannot Be Judged
(Re: Appendix B, FM 2-22.3 (FM 34-52) Human Intelligence Collector Operations

http://www.army.mil/institution/armypublicaffairs/pdf/fm2-22-3.pdf )
Because both the LEIU and the military system are each widely used it is important to differentiate
between the two systems in intelligence reports. Failure to do so can result in confusion. For example is
an evaluation of C3 a fairly reliable source providing possibly true information or an unreliable source
providing doubtful information? To avoid this confusion, evaluation rating is best listed, for example, as
C3 (LEIU) or C3 (MIL).
Intelligence Analysis Confidence-Level Definitions
Intelligence assessments are supported by information that varies in scope, quality, and sourcing.
Consequently, intelligence analysts ascribes high, medium, or low levels of confidence to judgments, as
follows:
-- High confidence generally indicates judgments are based on high-quality information from
multiple sources or from a single highly reliable source and/or the nature of the issue makes it possible
to render a solid judgment.
-- Medium confidence generally means the information is credibly sourced and plausible but can
be interpreted in various ways or is not of sufficient quality or corroborated sufficiently to warrant a
higher level of confidence.
-- Low confidence generally means the information’s credibility and/or plausibility is

questionable, the information is too fragmented or poorly corroborated to make solid analytic
inferences, or the analyst has significant concerns or problems with the sources.
Probability Ratings
After all the available data concerning each risk and its factual circumstances have been gathered, a
probability rating can be assigned to that risk. Ratings will not consider any precaution or
countermeasure that may later be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk. A primary purpose of such
unconditioned ratings is to allow for later priority scheduling in the selection of countermeasures. It may
be enough to be able to say one event is more probable than another. To say this about entire series or
categories of events, it must be possible to assign each to some class that can then be compared with
other classes to arrive at a conclusion of “more likely” or “less likely.” Five categories of probability can
establish useful distinctions among events, as follows:
(A) Virtually Certain — Given no changes, the event will occur. For example, given no changes, a closed
intake valve on a sprinkler riser will prevent water flow in event of fire.
(B) Highly Probable — The likelihood of occurrence is much greater than that of nonoccurrence. For
example, unprotected currency lying visible on a counter is very likely to be taken.
(C) Moderately Probable — The event is more likely to occur than not to occur.
(D) Less Probable — The event is less likely to occur than not to occur. This does not imply impossibility,
merely improbability.
(E) Probability Unknown — Insufficient data are available for an evaluation.
This approximate system of ratings contains wide latitude for variation. Two observers could assign
different probabilities to the same risk, based upon different evaluations of the circumstances. But an
advantage of this technique is that absolute precision is not important. If the correct general label can
be attached, it doesn’t matter that a highly probable risk might have a ratio of .751 or .853. What is
important is to be able to segregate all risks of virtually certain probability from all others, and to make
similar distinctions for each other general class. Even competent professionals may disagree on what is
highly probable and what is moderately probable. To compensate for inexactness, if a rating is in doubt
after all available information has been gathered and evaluated, then the higher of two possible ratings
should be assigned.
Rating Symbols. To save time and space, five levels of probability can be assigned the symbols A, B, C, D,
and E, ranking downward from “Virtually Certain” to “Probability Unknown.” These symbols later will be
combined with symbols representing criticality in the development of priority lists. It should be noted
that the probability rating E, or “Probability Unknown,” is merely a temporary rating pending the
development of all relevant data. In the construction of threat logic patterns, E ratings will be replaced
by one of the definite ratings.

Intelligence Cycle
The intelligence cycle is a five step process of developing unrefined information into an intelligence
product for use by decision makers.
The five steps of the intelligence process are:
 Planning and Direction

 Collection
 Processing and Exploitation
 Analysis and Production
 Dissemination
Planning and Direction is the management of the intelligence effort. This ranges from identifying initial
requirements to delivery of the end product to the decision makers.
Collection is the gathering of raw information based on identified requirements. Collection can include
research, investigation, source operations and the use relationships developed through liaison.
Processing and Exploitation takes the large amounts of raw information gathered during collection and
puts it into a form that can be analyzed. When processing information we look at factors such as
accuracy, objectivity, authority, currency and quality. Processing and exploitation may also include
language translation, decryption, and data reduction. This information is then entered into databases
where it can be used in analysis and production.
Analysis and Production take raw processed information and converts it into intelligence. The
information is reviewed for reliability and relevance, put into context and then used to produce
intelligence products. Analysis and production develops both raw intelligence and finished intelligence
products. Raw intelligence consists of individual pieces of analyzed information, which are disseminated
individually, while finished intelligence puts raw intelligence into context, integrates it with other
intelligence products and provides conclusions about its meaning and implications.
Dissemination is perhaps the most important step of the intelligence cycle. Intelligence must be
provided to the decision makers who initiated the intelligence requirements to allow them to make the
best informed decisions. Intelligence that it not disseminated serves no purpose since it is never used by
decision makers. Intelligence can be distributed in many ways, such as Intelligence Information Reports
(IIRs), Intelligence Bulletins, and Intelligence Assessments. These intelligence products provided to
decision makers will often generate new intelligence requirements - feeding back into the planning and
direction step of a continuous intelligence cycle.

What is intelligence?
“Intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, evaluation, analysis,
and interpretation of available information concerning foreign nations, hostile or potentially hostile
forces or elements, or areas of actual or potential operations. The term is also applied to the activity
which results in the product and to the organizations engaged in such activity.”
(Source: Joint Pub 2-0, Joint Intelligence, dtd. 22 June 2007)
There are six basic intelligence sources:
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) is derived from the exploitation of foreign electronic emissions. SIGINT can
be in the form of the actual information content of a signal or in the form of its temporal and spectral
characteristics called signal operating parameters. SIGINT includes both the raw data and the analysis
product of that data. SIGINT breaks down into four sub disciplines: Electronic Intelligence (ELINT),
Communications Intelligence (COMINT), Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence (FISINT), and
weapons-related Command and Control Signals (PROFORMA).
Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) is a product that is the result of processing and exploiting raw imagery
(information) and creating an analyzed product (intelligence). An image alone is only information in the
form of pixels, digits, or other forms of graphic representation and the data behind that portrayal. When
studied for content with an understanding of portrayal, imaging processes, and the place, objects and
time captured by that process, or through comparison to other images and consideration in light of
other information or intelligence, imagery intelligence (IMINT) can be created.
Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) is scientific and technical intelligence information
obtained by quantitative and qualitative analysis of data (metric, angle, spatial, wavelength, time
dependence, modulation, plasma, and hydromagnetic) derived from specific technical sensors for the
purpose of identifying any distinctive features associated with the source, emitter, or sender and to
facilitate subsequent identification and/or measurement of the same.
Human-Source Intelligence (HUMINT) is intelligence derived from human beings who may act as both
sources and collectors, and where the human is the primary collection instrument. This includes all
forms of intelligence gathered by humans, from direct reconnaissance and observation to the use of
recruited agents. HUMINT may also encompass interrogation techniques, including the process of
questioning detainees conducted in compliance with U.S. law and regulation, international law,
executive orders, and other operationally specific guidelines. HUMINT can provide a wide range of
information which includes but is not limited to adversary plans and intentions, deliberations and
decisions, research and development goals and strategies, doctrine, leadership, political or military
relationships, weapons systems, physical and cultural infrastructure, and medical conditions. HUMINT
can often collect information that is difficult or sometimes impossible to collect by other, more
technical, means.
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is unclassified information of potential intelligence value that is

available to the general public.
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is the intelligence derived from the exploitation of imagery and
geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically
referenced activities on the Earth.

ALARACT 322/2009 - Force Protection (DTG 231751Z NOV 09)
Appendix A: Ten Key Indicators of Potential Terrorist Associated Insider Threats to the Army.
Commanders must ensure their soldiers are aware of the indicators below and the need to report any
such incidents to their chain of command and the local counterintelligence (CI) office. These indicators
are intended to highlight behaviors or activities that point to potential terrorist insider threats to the
army (i.e. potential national security threats).
The following activities may be indicators of potential terrorist activity and should be reported
immediately to your chain of command:
1. Advocating violence, the threat of violence, or the use of force to achieve goals that are
political, religious, or ideological in nature.
2. Advocating support for international terrorist organizations or objectives.
3. Providing financial or other material support to a terrorist organization or to someone

suspected of being a terrorist.
4. Association with or connections to known or suspected terrorists.
5. Repeated expressions of hatred and intolerance of American society, culture, government, or

the principles of the U.S. Constitution.
6. Repeated browsing or visiting internet websites that promote or advocate violence directed
against the united states or U.S. forces, or that promote international terrorism or terrorist
themes without official sanction in the performance of duty.
7. Expressing an obligation to engage in violence in support of international terrorism or inciting

others to do the same.
8. Purchasing bomb making materials or obtaining information about the construction of

explosives.
9. Active attempts to encourage others to violate laws, disobey lawful orders or regulations, or
disrupt military activities.
10. Familial ties to known or suspected international terrorists or terrorist supporters.
Controlled Unclassified Information
Controlled Unclassified Information is information that while unclassified still requires control
over its distribution and use. This information can fall into several categories, including Department of
Defense "For Official Use Only" information, "Protected Critical Infrastructure Information", "Law
Enforcement Sensitive" information, "Security Sensitive Information", and similar information that may
be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and related state statutes, or that
because of mission requirements, business prudence, legal privilege, the protection of personal or
commercial rights, safety, or security should otherwise be protected from public disclosure. On 9 May
2008, Controlled Unclassified Information was designated by President George Bush as the single
categorical designation for most information previously referred to as "Sensitive But Unclassified" (SBU)
Although the Controlled Unclassified Information designation only officially applies to the
Executive Branch of government, information exists in both the public and private sector that meets the
intent of the Controlled Unclassified Information designation. For example, within the corporate
environment we have proprietary or business sensitive information, that while not consisting of trade
secrets (which would be protected under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act or other state statutes) is
information that should still be protected from public disclosure.
Public information is that information which is lawfully, broadly and generally disclosed to the
public at large. While there may be some restrictions, such as copyrights, on public information there is
no restriction or limitation on who can see or otherwise access public information. Public information is
intended to be disclosed to the public.
We may then define Controlled Unclassified Information as that information which does not
contain national security information (and therefore cannot be classified), does not contain trade
secrets, but which also does not meet the definition of public information and should therefore be
protected against inappropriate disclosure.
In order to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information we employ standard procedures

based in part on the requirements in the "Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Program
Procedures Manual" (2009). Although these procedures are intended specifically to safeguard only PCII;
adoption of the PCII handling procedures is a best practice that should be used for all Controlled
Unclassified Information.
The following handling procedures should be used for all Controlled Unclassified Information:
Marking: All Controlled Unclassified Information will be appropriately marked to indicate its
sensitive nature. A coversheet will be the top-most page of all printed Controlled Unclassified
Information.
Storage: When not in your immediate possession, store Controlled Unclassified Information in a
secure environment such as a locked desk drawer or locked container. Do not leave Controlled
Unclassified Information unsecured and unattended.
Transmission --
Hand Delivery: Authorized individuals may hand carry Controlled Unclassified Information as
long as access to the material is controlled while in transit. Controlled Unclassified
Information carried on removable electronic media (i.e. USB Drives or CD-ROM) should be
password-protected.
E-mail: Encryption should normally be used. However, when this is impractical or

unavailable, you may transmit Controlled Unclassified Information over regular e-mail
channels. If encryption is not available, send Controlled Unclassified Information as a
password-protected attachment and provide the password under separate cover. Do not
send Controlled Unclassified Information to personal, non-employment related e-mail
accounts. Whenever the recipient forwards or disseminates Controlled Unclassified
Information via e-mail, place that information in a password-protected attachment.
Mail: United States Postal Service First Class mail or commercial equivalent. Place
Controlled Unclassified Information in an opaque envelope or container, sufficiently sealed
to prevent inadvertent opening and to show evidence of tampering, and then place this
envelope or container in a second envelope that has no marking on it to identify the
contents as sensitive or controlled information. The outer envelope or container must bear
the complete name and address of the sender and addressee. The outer envelope will have no
markings that indicate the contents contain Controlled Unclassified Information and must bear
the following below the return address: “POSTMASTER: DO NOT FORWARD. RETURN TO
SENDER.” Use of 'Delivery Conformation' (PS Form 152, or commercial equivalent) is
recommended.
Fax: Use of a secure fax is encouraged, but not required. When sending via non-secure fax,
coordinate with the recipient to ensure that the faxed materials will not be left unattended or
subjected to unauthorized disclosure on the receiving end.
Telephone: You are encouraged to use a Secure Telephone Unit/Equipment. Use cellular
phones to discuss Controlled Unclassified Information only in exigent circumstances.
Reproduction: Ensure that a copy of a Cover Sheet is the first page of all reproductions
containing Controlled Unclassified Information. Clear copy machine malfunctions and ensure
all paper paths are checked for Controlled Unclassified Information. Destroy all unusable pages
immediately.
Destruction: Destroy (i.e., shred or burn) Controlled Unclassified Information when no longer
needed. For Controlled Unclassified Information on laptops or CPUs, delete file and empty
recycle bin.
Operations Security (OPSEC)
OPSEC (Operations Security) is a process used to deny a competitor or adversary information concerning
your intentions and capabilities by identifying, controlling and protecting indicators associated with your
planning processes or operations.
OPSEC is comprised of 5 steps:
• Identify Sensitive/Critical Information.
• Assess Threat.
• Analyze Vulnerabilities.
• Analyze Risk.
• Apply Countermeasures.
Identify Sensitive/Critical Information
Sensitive/critical information is unclassified information that a competitor or adversary could obtain

from openly available sources. This information provides crucial information or clues to your company’s
activities, possessions, strategies and future.
Assess Threat
The goal of threat assessment is to determine the real extent of a threat. A threat requires both intent
and capability. If one or the other is not present, there is no threat.
Threat = intent + capability.
Analyze Vulnerabilities
A vulnerability is an opportunity or weakness in securing information. Indicators are any observable

pattern or activity changes that when looked at by themselves or in conjunction with something else,
allows your competitor to obtain a sensitive piece of information. To analyze vulnerabilities, ask
yourself: Are there things that give away data directly? Are there certain signs that could lead to
deducing the data?
Analyze Risk
Risk is the likelihood of an undesirable event occurring and the consequences of that event. Risk analysis
is the process of determining the potential for a threat’s success to acquire, exploit and capitalize on
critical information.
Risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Impact
Apply Countermeasures
Countermeasures are anything that effectively negates a threat’s ability to exploit vulnerabilities.
There are typically five types of countermeasures:
• Changes in procedure
• Controlling dissemination
• Cover and deception
• Speed of execution
• Awareness training
TRAINING AND EDUCATION
28 CFR Part 23 Online Training
Criminal intelligence plays a vital role in the safety and security of our country. 28 CFR Part 23 was
issued in 1980 to ensure the privacy and constitutional rights of individuals during the collection and
exchange of criminal intelligence information, and it has since been an important part of the intelligence
landscape.
To facilitate greater understanding of 28 CFR Part 23, the Bureau of Justice Assistance has developed the
Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (28 CFR Part 23) online training. This training is designed
to help state and local law enforcement understand the guidelines that govern the development and
implementation of policies and systems that facilitate intelligence sharing.
Training Includes:
-- Overview of the Regulation
-- Compliance Requirements
-- Storage Requirements

Intelligence Analyst Training Program (IATP)
The Counter Terrorism Division (CTD) of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), Glynco,
Georgia, is home to the Intelligence Analyst Training Program (IATP). CTD is responsible for the training
of intelligence analysts and intelligence associated personnel from Partner Organizations. The program
is open to military, state, and local law enforcement intelligence personnel on a space available basis.
The 76 hour program provides a historical, legal, and conceptual basis for criminal/law enforcement
intelligence. The beginning of the program establishes a firm historical, legal and ethical basis. IATP
contains a practical exercise devoted to critical thinking concepts and the three components of analysis.
IATP is designed around the intelligence process/cycle through the creation of requirements as the basis
of an intelligence plan, devoted to the Planning and Direction phase, followed by the collection and
documentation of information with the Collection Phase. IATP then transitions into the phases of
processing and exploitation, analysis, dissemination and re-evaluation as the baseline process for
transitioning information into intelligence. The program is structured around the Intelligence Cycle,
identifying functions the analyst /research specialist is involved with during each phase. The IATP is
conducted in a student centered learning environment, guided by subject matter experts in various
fields.
The student is evaluated on the basic concepts of analysis, presentation skills, and writing abilities. The
final practical exercise is devoted towards bringing together all teaching points, combining the
fundamentals of analysis with a law enforcement problem area. This practical exercise culminates with
the submission of both a report and presentation of a briefing of the student's findings to the class,
instructors, and interested FLETC staff.
Type: Advanced
Length: The training program encompasses 9.5 days (76 hours).

SELECTED RESOURCES
Analysis of Competing Hypotheses Software - http://www2.parc.com/istl/projects/ach/ach.html
Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) is a simple model for how to think about a complex problem
when the available information is incomplete or ambiguous, as typically happens in intelligence analysis.
The software downloadable here takes an analyst through a process for making a well-reasoned,
analytical judgment. It is particularly useful for issues that require careful weighing of alternative
explanations of what has happened, is happening, or is likely to happen in the future. It helps the analyst
overcome, or at least minimize, some of the cognitive limitations that make prescient intelligence
analysis so difficult. ACH is grounded in basic insights from cognitive psychology, decision analysis, and
the scientific method. It helps analysts protect themselves from avoidable error, and improves their
chances of making a correct judgment.
This software was developed by Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in collaboration with Richards J.
Heuer, Jr.It was developed for use by the U.S. Intelligence Community with funding from the Intelligence
Community's Advanced Research and Development Activity (ARDA) and the Office of Naval Research
(ONR).
In distributing ACH, PARC is making the presently downloadable version of the program available to the
general public at no cost when used for non-commercial or educational purposes subject to the terms
and conditions of its end user license.

other event databases, the GTD includes systematic data on domestic as well as transnational and
international terrorist incidents that have occurred during this time period and now includes more than
80,000 cases. For each GTD incident, information is available on the date and location of the incident,
the weapons used and nature of the target, the number of casualties, and—when identifiable—the
group or individual responsible.
The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) is making the
GTD available via this online interface in an effort to increase understanding of terrorist violence so that
it can be more readily studied and defeated.

Pre-OCONUS Travel File (PRO-File) -- https://medinah.sed.monmouth.army.mil/PRO-File/

(Requires AKO Log-in)
Before any soldier deploys or goes on TDY Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS), they must
complete a Pre-OCONUS travel File (PRO-File).
What is PRO-File?
All of the Geographic Combatant Commands require personnel to complete a Personnel Recovery
Mission Software (PRMS) digital ISOPREP prior to entering their respective geographic areas of
responsibility. However; most Army personnel do not have classified system access on a regular basis
prior to deployment.
HQDA developed the PRO-File program to enables Soldiers, DA Civilians, and DA Contractors to meet
these theater entry requirements. PRO-File is the Army's interface with PRMS. Although a PRO-File
survey is not an ISOPREP, it is the only authorized alternative for use on unclassified networks.
All Soldiers, DA Civilians, and DA Contractors are required to complete a PRO-File survey prior to
departing CONUS for official duty. Army personnel departing for the USPACOM AOR, for official or
unofficial travel, must complete this requirement as well.
Army forces assigned to USSOCOM or USASOC organizations are exempt from this requirement and will
continue to follow USSOCOM guidance for completion of ISOPREPS. Civil Affairs and Psychological
Operations forces operating under the control of a conventional force commander are not exempt from
this requirement. Official PRO-File implementation guidance can be found in All Army Activities Message
(ALARACT) 156/2007.
Problem Analysis Module -- http://www.popcenter.org/learning/pam/
Problem Analysis Module (PAM) gives you a framework for analyzing any persistent crime and public
safety problem. PAM will ask you to input information concerning every aspect of the problem and then
suggest the kinds of responses you could try.
PAM was developed to assist police problem solving through the asking of specific questions. The
questions come from research into a set of powerful theories within the field of Environmental
Criminology – particularly Routine Activity Theory, Situational Crime Prevention, and Crime Pattern
Theory.

places and keywords; understands how they relate to each other in the news flow, and puts them in
context for the user through graphical results in its intuitive user interface.
The site pulls content on global issues, science, technology and business from thousands of news
sources, blogs, multimedia, and other forms of news media from around the world. With the engine’s
focus on finding and connecting related data in the information flow, Silobreaker’s user tools and
visualizations are ideal for bringing meaning to content from either today’s Web or the evolving
Semantic Web, or both.
Squidmat (courses of action evaluation program) --

http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/jmstauffer/Squidmat/
The program compares two or more courses of action based on two or more evaluation criteria. The
user arranges the evaluation criteria in descending order of importance and tells the program how much
more important each criterion is than the next lower criterion. These importance ratings are used to
calculate weights for each criterion. SquidMat takes user-supplied values for each course-of-
action/criterion combination and converts them to Z scores. Using the criterion weights, the program
calculates weighted sums for each course of action. The course of action with the highest weighted sum
is considered to be the best. SquidMat is designed as a replacement decision matrix program for the
CAS3 program DECMAT.
Statistical Data Resources (Crime Statistics)
Bureau of Justice Statistics -- http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is the United States' primary source for criminal justice statistics.
The BJS mission is to collect, analyze, publish, and disseminate information on crime, criminal offenders,
victims of crime, and the operation of justice systems at all levels of government. These data are critical
to Federal, State, and local policymakers in combating crime and ensuring that justice is both efficient
and evenhanded.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics was first established on December 27, 1979 under the Justice Systems
Improvement Act of 1979, Public Law 96-157 (the 1979 Amendment to the Omnibus Crime Control and
Safe Streets Act of 1968, Public Law 90-351). The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is a component of the
Office of Justice Programs in the U.S. Department of Justice.
Federal Justice Statistics Resource Center -- http://fjsrc.urban.org/
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), through its Federal Justice Statistics Resource Center (FJSRC),
compiles comprehensive information describing suspects and defendants processed in the Federal
criminal justice system. The goal of FJSRC is to provide uniform case processing statistics across all
stages of the Federal criminal justice system. Using data obtained from Federal agencies, FJSRC compiles
comprehensive information that describes person-cases processed through the system. FJSRC applies
uniform definitions to commonly used statistics describing data from each stage of case processing. The
data definitions used by the FJSRC are consistent with definitions used by other BJS programs that
report on case processing in state courts so that comparisons may be made between case processing
statistics between the Federal and state systems.
National Archive of Criminal Justice Data -- http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/NACJD/
The mission of the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) is to facilitate research in criminal

What is Personnel Recovery?
1.The Army defines Personnel Recovery as The sum of military, diplomatic, and civil efforts to effect the
recovery and return of US military, DoD civilians, and DoD contractor personnel, or other personnel as
determined by the Secretary of Defense, who are isolated, missing, detained, or captured (IMDC) in an
operational environment.
2.Those military, DoD civilians and contractors who have become IMDC are referred to as "Isolated
Personnel" (IP).
3.Personnel Recovery is an overarching term which covers CSAR, SERE, SAR, NAR, UAR, etc.
Note: NEO is not part of PR, however with any operation, the chance of Isolation is increased, and plans
must address this possibility.

enforcement and other first responders via the ATIX electronic bulletin board, secure Web site, and
secure e-mail.
C3 - An intelligence application concept initially used by military intelligence that stands for command,
control, and communication as the hallmark for effective intelligence operations.
Clandestine Operation - A preplanned secret intelligence collection activity or covert political,

economic, propaganda, or paramilitary action conducted so as to assure the secrecy of the operation;
encompasses both clandestine collection and covert action.
Classification - The determination that official information requires, in the interest of national security,
a specific degree of protection against unauthorized disclosure, coupled with a designation signifying
that such a determination has been made; the designation is normally termed a security classification
and includes Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret.
Compartmentalization - (1) Formal system of restricted access to intelligence activities, such systems
established by and/or managed under the cognizance of the DCI to protect the sensitive aspects of
sources, methods, and analytical procedures of foreign intelligence information, limited to individuals
with a specific need for such information and who are therefore given special security clearances and
indoctrination in order to have access to it. (2) Establishment and management of an intelligence
organization so that information about the personnel, organization, or activities of one component is
made available to any other component or individual only to the extent required for the performance of
assigned duties.
Counterintelligence - Information gathered and activities conducted to protect against espionage, other
intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign powers,
organizations, persons, or terrorist activities, but not including personnel, physical, document, or
communications security programs.
Counterterrorism - Offensive measures taken to prevent, deter, and respond to a terrorist act or the
documented threat of such an act.
Covert Action - (1) An operation designed to influence governments, events, organizations, or persons
in support of foreign policy in a manner that is not necessarily attributable to the sponsoring power; it
may include political, economic, propaganda, or paramilitary activities. (2) Operations that are so
planned and executed as to conceal the identity of, or permit plausible deniability by, the sponsor.
Covert Operation - (Preferred term - Clandestine operation). A covert operation encompassing covert
action and clandestine collection.
Critical and Sensitive Information List - Those areas, activities, functions, or other matters that a
facility/organization considers most important to keep from adversaries (DOE 1992).
Critical information - Critical information is defined as information important to the successful

achievement of objectives and missions, or which may be of use to an adversary. Critical information
consists of specific facts about friendly capabilities, activities, limitations (includes vulnerabilities), and
intentions needed by adversaries for them to plan and act effectively so as to degrade friendly mission
accomplishment. Critical information is information that is vital to a mission and that if an adversary
obtains it, correctly analyzes it, and acts upon it will prevent or seriously degrade mission success.
Critical information can be classified information or unclassified information. Critical information can
also be an action that provides an indicator of value to an adversary and places a friendly activity or
operation at risk. (AR 530-1)
Critical Infrastructures - Certain national infrastructures so vital that their incapacity or destruction
would have a debilitating impact on the defense or economic security of the United States. These critical
infrastructures include telecommunications, electrical power systems, gas and oil storage and
transportation, banking and finance, transportation, water supply systems, emergency services
(including medical, police, fire, and rescue), and continuity of government (JCS 1997; EO n.d.).
Estimate - (1) An analysis of a foreign situation, development, or trend that identifies its major
elements, interprets the significance, and appraises the future possibilities and the prospective results of
the various actions that might be taken. (2) An appraisal of the capabilities, vulnerabilities, and potential
courses of action of a foreign nation or combination of nations in consequence of a specific national
plan, policy, decision, or contemplated course of action. (3) An analysis of an actual or contemplated
clandestine operation in relation to the situation in which it is or would be conducted in order to identify
and appraise such factors as available and needed assets, and potential obstacles, accomplishments,
and consequences.
Finished Intelligence - (1) The product resulting from the collection, processing, integration, analysis,
evaluation, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign countries or areas. (2) The
final result of the production step of the intelligence cycle; the intelligence product.
Foreign Liaison - Efforts to work with foreign government intelligence services, including law
enforcement agencies that gather or carry out intelligence-related activities. Examples of foreign liaison
include sharing information, joint collection efforts, and the arrest of suspected terrorists by foreign
governments using US-supplied information. Every major US intelligence agency has some form of
liaison relationship with foreign governments.
Intelligence - (1) A body of evidence and the conclusions drawn therefrom acquired and furnished in
response to the known or perceived requirements of customers; it is often derived from information
that is concealed or not intended to be available for use by the acquirer. (2) A term used to refer
collectively to the functions, activities, or organizations that are involved in the process of planning,
gathering, and analyzing information of potential value to decision-makers and to the production of
intelligence as defined above. (3) The product resulting from the collection, collation, evaluation,
analysis, integration, and interpretation of all collected information.
Intelligence Community - The aggregate of the following executive branch organizations and agencies
involved in intelligence activities: the Central Intelligence Agency; the National Security Agency; the
Defense Intelligence Agency; offices within the Department of Defense for the collection of specialized
national foreign intelligence through reconnaissance programs; the Bureau of Intelligence and Research
of the Department of State; intelligence elements of the military services, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Energy; and staff elements of the
Office of the Director of Central Intelligence (ICS 1989).
Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) - Sensitive But Unclassified information specifically compiled for law
enforcement purposes that, if not protected from unauthorized access, could reasonably be expected to
1) interfere with law enforcement proceedings, 2) deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or impartial
adjudication, 3) constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of others, 4) disclose the
identity of a confidential source, 5) disclose investigative techniques and procedures, and/or 6)
endanger the life or physical safety of an individual.
Operations Security - 1. A systematic, proven process by which a government, organization, or

individual can identify, control, and protect generally unclassified information about an
operation/activity and, thus, deny or mitigate an adversary's/competitor's ability to compromise or
interrupt said operation/activity (NSC 1988). 2. OPSEC is a process of identifying critical information and
subsequently analyzing friendly actions attendant to military operations and other activities to (a)
identify those actions that can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, (b) determine indicators
adversary intelligence systems might obtain that could be interpreted or pieced together to derive
critical information in time to be useful to adversaries, and select and execute measures that eliminate
or reduce to an acceptable level the vulnerabilities of friendly actions to adversary exploitation (DOD JP
1994; JCS 1997).
Proprietary Information - Material and information relating to, or associated with, a company's
products, business, or activities, including but not limited to financial information; data or statements;
trade secrets; product research and development; existing and future product designs and performance
specifications; marketing plans or techniques; schematics; client lists; computer programs; processes;
and know-how that have been clearly identified and properly marked by the company as proprietary
information, trade secrets, or company confidential information. The information must have been
developed by the company and not be available to the government or to the public without restriction
from another source (NSTISSI 1997).
Raw Intelligence - A colloquial term meaning collected intelligence information that

has not yet been converted into finished intelligence.

Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) Information - Information that has not been classified by a federal law
enforcement agency that pertains to significant law enforcement cases under investigation and criminal
intelligence reports that require dissemination criteria to only those persons necessary to further the
investigation or to prevent a crime or terrorist act.
Sensitive Homeland Security Information (SHSI) - Any information created or received by an agency or
any local, county, state, or tribal government that the loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure,
modification of, or the unauthorized access to could reasonably be expected to impair significantly the
capabilities and/or efforts of agencies and/or local, county, state, and tribal personnel to predict,
analyze, investigate, deter, prevent, protect against, mitigate the effects of, or recover from acts of
terrorism.
SHSI does not include any information that is:
 Classified as national security information pursuant to Executive Order 12958, as amended, or

any successor order.
 Designated by Executive Order 12951, any successor order, or the Atomic Energy Act of 1954
(42 U.S.C. § 2011), to require protection against unauthorized disclosure.
 Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) as defined in 6 Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR) § 29.2.

computer security measures.
b. Open sources. Oral, documentary, pictorial and physical materials accessible to the public.
c. Detectable actions. Physical actions or entities and emissions or other phenomena that can be
observed, imaged or detected by human senses or by active and passive sensors.
Strategic intelligence - Intelligence required for the formulation of policy and military plans at national
and international levels; it differs primarily from tactical intelligence in level of use, but may also vary in
scope and detail.
Tactical intelligence - Intelligence produced in support of military, intelligence, or other operations, or

that relates to the specific time, date, nature, and other details of events.
Threat to National Security -

1. international terrorism;
2. espionage and other intelligence activities, sabotage, and assassination, conducted by, for, or
on behalf of foreign powers, organizations, or persons;
3. foreign computer intrusion; and
4. other matters determined by the Attorney General, consistent with Executive Order 12333 or
a successor order.
TIARA: Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) - TIARA encompasses those
programs/activities outside the NFIP and JMIP that: 1) respond to operational commanders’ tasking for
time sensitive information on foreign entities; 2) respond to national intelligence community tasking of
systems whose primary mission is support to operating forces; 3) train personnel for intelligence duties;
4) provide an intelligence reserve; or 5) are devoted to research and development of intelligence or
related capabilities. Specifically excluded are programs that are so closely integrated with a weapon
system that their primary function is to provide immediate-use targeting data. TIARA programs /
activities are funded as part of normal Service budget development, and as a result are often embedded
in larger force structure or weapon system budget lines.
