DOD Experiment Could Lead To Major Changes In Intel Operations

The Defense Department is preparing for a major field experiment that will examine new concepts in intelligence operations and could lead to revolutionary changes in how U.S. spy agencies collect, analyze and distribute their products, according to military officials and documents.

Dubbed “Operation Morning Calm,” the experiment initially will involve the Army's Intelligence and Security Command and U.S. Forces Korea, then expand to U.S. Pacific Command and other warfighting components.

Through Morning Calm, structures and policies(remote viewing) developed by INSCOM will be applied to live national, theater and tactical intelligence-gathering assets.

Based on the results, major elements of the intelligence community may undergo an unprecedented overhaul.

“Operation Morning Calm can be used as a vehicle for exponential change because it can highlight issues in policy and structure that need to be changed,” Col. Donna Kenley, a strategic intelligence planner in DOD's Office of Force Transformation (OFT), said in an interview.

Intelligence processes used at INSCOM's Information Dominance Center will be installed with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade in Seoul over the next five months.

Proof-of-concept testing will begin in December and end in February. Assets to be involved include the U-2, the Army's Guardrail Common Sensor and Airborne Reconnaissance Low, and other “joint sensor feeds,” according to an OFT briefing chart on Morning Calm. Human intelligence, measurement and signature intelligence, and multilingual open source intelligence will also be used.

The Korea portion of Morning Calm will cost $8 million; extending the experiment to other combatant commands will cost substantially more.
“It will be baseline-operational with techniques, tactics and procedures and the [concepts of operations] and exercised during the [North Korea] Winter Training Cycle (Dec 03-Feb 04) to ferret out issues in structure, policy, and operations within defense intelligence and the IC that need to be changed,” states a white paper on Morning Calm prepared by OFT and INSCOM.

“Project Operation Morning Calm will provide a unique opportunity to conduct an operational experiment using data employment concepts that can affect analytical outcomes and provide actionable intelligence,” the paper continues. “The results of such an assessment would help inform senior defense decision-makers on policy and structural issues affecting the IC.”

The IDC has been operational for several years; defense officials believe it will be the “catalyst” for transformation of the intelligence community.

Morning Calm sponsors include OFT, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Forces Korea, PACOM and INSCOM. Underscoring the point that reform of the entire IC will not happen without the CIA's participation, the assistant director of central intelligence for collection has been briefed on Morning Calm and supports the experiment, officials say.

Over the past decade, numerous studies and reports have recommended significant changes in how the U.S. intelligence community is structured and operates. Yet, the community remains a sprawling, poorly connected amalgamation where restrictive regulations and bureaucratic jealousies prevent the kind of information sharing needed to battle 21st century threats.

At a hearing held last fall by the House and Senate intelligence committees, Lee Hamilton, a former House intelligence committee chairman, noted the intelligence community is a “vast enterprise and it's tough to develop consensus.”

Now, however, with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld pressing ahead with aggressive plans to transform the military, the prospects for change are greater than ever before.

Improving the way DOD's massive military intelligence apparatus works is a key part of the transformation strategy. Rumsfeld recently created the office of the under secretary of defense for intelligence to pursue these improvements. The director of the intelligence office, Steve Cambone, also will work closely with the CIA to foster structural changes at the national intelligence level.

Retired Vice Adm. Arthur Cebrowski, DOD's force transformation chief and an early champion of INSCOM's prototypical effort, calls the work being done by the command “a glimpse of the future.”

Rumsfeld and Cambone visited INSCOM in late June, and Cambone is said to be very interested in the outcome of Morning Calm.

Key to the experiment is the concept of data mediation, which is the antithesis of the existing system for producing intelligence. Signals intelligence, human intelligence, imagery intelligence and other “source-specific” intelligence streams now feed into separate databases, which are not linked together and contain overwhelming amounts of information.

This “stovepiped” system makes all-source analysis nearly impossible and needs to be eliminated if the defense and intelligence communities expect to be able to win the war against terrorism, according to Kenley.

Data mediation gets rid of the stovepipes and allows information to be merged into a universal repository from which analysts can “seamlessly search out answers from the entire universal database with a single query,” states an OFT briefing chart.

Information can be harvested and fused, rather than falling through the cracks, Kenley says. All-source intelligence reports can be prepared and can support three specific demand functional areas -- warning, counterintelligence and force protection, and warfighting intelligence -- that underpin the Bush administration's security goals of prevention and preemption.

Plans for Morning Calm began to take firmer shape this spring after Rumsfeld established the USD/I directorate. Consistent with the operational model to be tested through Morning Calm, Cambone's office has directorates for preparation and warning, warfighting and operations, and counterintelligence and security.
Meeting with reporters May 20, Cambone said his office would work to ensure that the “'pipes' are in place for the information to be transmitted from those who collect it and analyze it to those that need to use it, and that connectivity is such that it can be moved quickly with a minimum or modest amount of interruption between the time it's collected and the first cut of the analysis to the people who need to be able to use it.”

But well before Cambone's office became a reality, the IDC at INSCOM was forging new ways to get around what intelligence officials call the “collection-analysis gap.”
Specifically, the technologies used to collect intelligence are increasing “exponentially,” while analytical processes and methods improve only “linearly,” according to an OFT briefing chart.

The National Security Agency, for example, records about 650 million events every day. That flow produces about 10,000 product reports. “The rest receives minimal attention,” the briefing chart states.

“This collection-analysis gap has contributed to the failure of the IC to provide adequate warning time for events like 9/11,” states the white paper. “Current 'analytic processes' allow analysts to deal with only a tiny fraction of the data available to them from the United States' vast collection resources, resulting in a troubling dilemma best summed up by the words, 'We don't know what we don't know.'”

Noting that the IDC is a working intelligence unit, INSCOM officials did not respond to questions about the center.
According to defense budget documents, however, the IDC is a “beta development and demonstration facility” that uses “advanced indigenously developed software and architectures for harvesting, visualizing, displaying, sharing, analyzing, fusing and developing courses of action for commanders and decisionmakers in a real-time environment.”

More to the point, the IDC employs the data-mediation system defense officials believe is needed to reform intelligence operations. “The IDC uses high-capacity communications links to access selected information from a number of databases maintained by a number of other commands, agencies and organizations,” reads a description of the IDC prepared by the Center for Army Lessons Learned.

“We need broader interpretation of information,” notes Kenley. “We need to be able to connect dots. We need stewardship of information rather than ownership. We have to be mindful of the regulations, of the security classification [rules]. But the agencies and services have to work together to share information, to fuse information together to cover the critical gaps.”

Loved Ones...the leadership in Washington is at least on the right track... let us all pray they begin to consider in addition to paranormal techniques using prayers, petitions and unconditional love to heal all those people and places we have injured through acts of agression and greed.

You and all your loved ones are always in my prayers,
