Hitler's Spies: German Military Intelligence In World War II

Abstract: A German patrol wiggles through Russian lines to return with details of Soviet defenses. An expert Luftwaffe interrogator teases secret information from downed Allied airmen. Two spies steal ashore in Maine and make their way into New York City. Filled with episodes of intrigue and adventure, Hitler's Spies reveals the workings of German intelligence--the famed Abwehr, the dreaded SD, the codebreakers, the spies, and the intelligence gatherers of the Foreign Office--and explains its failure to best the Allies. Draws on original documents and extensive interviews.

Development of a Computer-Based Program for Criminal Intelligence Analysis

Abstract: Criminal intelligence is a law-enforcement function that supports investigators, decision-makers, and policy-makers in their attempt to prevent and control crime. This paper describes recent efforts to enhance the capability of criminal intelligence analysts through the development and implementation of computer-based routines. The intelligence analysis cycle is defined, analytical concepts are discussed, and the development, features, and operation of the Organized Crime Analysis Program(*OCAP*) are described.

Utility of Automation of Order of Battle and Target Intelligence Data for Intelligence Analysis

Abstract: : The need to develop a capability to process increasing amounts of intelligence information input by battlefield systems to divisions has led to the establishment of an Army work program to determine user requirements for a Tactical Operations System (TOS). As part of the program, a series of software packages is being evaluated by the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences for potential inclusion as requirements for a prototype TOS. The first of these packages--automated Order of Battle (OB) and Target Intelligence (TI) files--was evaluated in the present study. A series of intelligence tasks was accomplished by two groups, each consisting of 10 subjects qualified as intelligence analysts. Both groups worked with a basic simulated TOS. The experimental group had access to automated OB and TI files; the control group used OB and TI files in manual form. Automation of the files significantly increased both the accuracy and the completeness with which intelligence requirements were accomplished but did not increase the speed of completion of those requirements.

Abstract: : This document is intended to aid Army commanders in carrying out an important part of their Equal Opportunity responsibilities--insuring that institutional discrimination is not perpetuated in their units.

The Military Family and The Military Organization

Abstract: : There are a number of actions which the services are now taking and others which could be taken which could alleviate or attentuate many of the stresses experienced routinely by military family members. Military commanders from the highest echelons to the lowest must become more aware of family needs and how to meet them. This awareness requires a recognition of how family factors affect the equation for effective and efficient accomplishment of the military mission. Conversely, family members must be made more aware of the military goals. They must recognize the importance of the job the service member performs, the rationale behind his assignments and requirements are no longer to be tolerated. The family must have more information. Also, family members must know the support programs in existence and the options open to them. There is a public relations job to be done by the military organization, a job which has been highly ineffective in past years!. (Author)

Content Analysis and the Organization of Combat Intelligence Data

Abstract: : In order to expeditiously and accurately process intelligence information, it is essential that incoming information be systematically organized. Such organization provides a means for categorizing, differentiating and integrating intelligence for retrieval, evaluation, and interpretation. This report will examine and test an application of a highspeed data processing technique which is designed to automatically provide organizational structure for incoming intelligence. The procedure involves the use of a system of computer routines known as the General Inquirer, which was developed for the analysis of message content.
