Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On 22 July 2004 the 9/11 Commission released its report on the events surrounding the attacks of 11 September 2001. The 9/11 Report renewed calls for reform of the intelligence community (IC), continuing a long series of intelligence reform efforts that began shortly after the National Security Act of 1947 laid the foundation of the modern IC. As reform proceeds and government officials consider further changes, three topics remain relevant: (1) the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols reform of the Department of Defense and its applicability to the IC, (2) the common findings and recommendations of past reform efforts of the IC, and (3) the competing interests inherent in the IC that influence the pace and character of actual reform. This study explores these topics in the context of the 9/11 Report and the subsequent reform efforts initiated by the executive and legislative branches. While there was common motivation between the latest effort to reform the IC and the earlier DOD reform effort as embodied in the Goldwater-Nichols Act, it remains less clear if the measures taken in the DOD case are equally applicable to the IC. One reason to question the applicability of DOD reform efforts to the IC is the unique organizational context of the IC-an interagency organization supporting multiple departments as well as national policy makers. Reform of the IC is unlike reform of a single cabinet-level department, for at its most basic level the IC exists to enhance the effectiveness of multiple departments and senior policy makers in the accomplishment of their assigned functions. In short, the IC serves varied interests with sometimes shared and sometimes conflicting intelligence needs. This organizational context suggests that successful reform requires an on-going recalibration of competing interests to meet the changing demands inherent within a dynamic national security environment.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Joint Vision 2020 recognizes the increasing importance of operations within the information domain as well as the need to have appropriately designed organizations prepared to support and conduct operations within the information domain. This paper provides an initial framework to assess organizational structures for IO using the evolution of British and American airpower organizations during the interwar years. This analysis will show how, over time, the debate over organizing air forces became centered on a core set of criteria. Applying these criteria to IO will provide a preliminary determination of the degree of organizational autonomy warranted for IO. In a similar manner, the organizational decisions made during the interwar years had direct implications on both airpower and service organizations. These implications will be assessed against three organizational constructs: an independent IO service, semi-autonomous service organizations, and a joint unified command. This analysis will illustrate that an independent service is not warranted at this time; however, it does point to a requirement to grant greater autonomy to IO organizations within the services to help foster operational and doctrinal innovation. Finally, a pre-existing joint unified command should assume control of all IO capabilities to ensure the proper integration of the many disparate capabilities grouped under the IO rubric.
