What domestic intelligence collection efforts would be best utilized on the organization you selected? (Intelligence Collection disciplines discussed in week 5) Do not focus on overseas intelligence collection programs; this is an HLSS course and we are focused ONLY on collection within the U.S. homeland.

Develop a research paper to address domestic intelligence collection and analysis of your selected terrorist group from your Red Cell Midterm Assignment. Building on the information that you started in your midterm, prepare a new research paper that addresses which intelligence collection disciplines and agencies are essential to effectively collect on and analyze information about the red cell threat you chose in 5-7 full pages of content (not counting title or reference pages).

2. Domestic Intelligence Collection and Analysis:

Specify the most effective intelligence collection and analysis methods against the terrorist organization likely to conduct an attack within the United States that you selected by clearing answering all 3 of the following:

A) What domestic intelligence collection efforts would be best utilized on the organization you selected? (Intelligence Collection disciplines discussed in week 5) Do not focus on overseas intelligence collection programs; this is an HLSS course and we are focused ONLY on collection within the U.S. homeland.

B) Which members of the IC would be the best collectors of intelligence on this particular organization within the country? (the intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the intelligence community we discussed in week 2) You may address agencies that collect overseas and within the homeland as the terrorism nexus overlaps both domains. You may also consider some of the field agencies of DHS (since DHS I&A is just an office and does not collect) as some of the operating components do collect like ICE, CBP, USCG, and the Secret Service (who does focus on terrorism financing). Again, this is a Homeland Security course, so focus on the agencies that can support the homeland (like the FBI), NOT primarily overseas intelligence collection of foreign targets. Clearly focus your paper only on domestic intelligence and law enforcement and remember the CIA does not collect intelligence on Americans domestically, they are a foreign intelligence agency (as are ALL of the military intelligence branches). See the readings from week 5 as well as this link to Executive Order 12333 (2008) https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-12333-2008.pdf. However, the NSA is very different as they can and do collect both foreign and domestic communications (when authorized by a court [like FISA] or under certain conditions by the Attorney General to support the FBI). See https://www.nsa.gov/about/faqs/sigint-faqs.shtml

C) What intelligence analysis strategies would be the most effective and why? (choose only from the analytical strategies discussed in the week 6 lesson and specifically the reading A tradecraft primer: Structured analytic techniques for improving intelligence analysis or found at this link https://www.hsdl.org/?abstract&did=20945). Remember that critical thinking (brainstorming) and situational logic DO NOT in themselves constitute an analytical approach — be specific and pick at least two specific strategies you think will help analyze what can be collected on a clandestine terrorist group attempting to attack the U.S. homeland.

 

What kind of competitive priorities (pick at least 2 but no more than 3) would you recommend for him to pursue?  Briefly explain each competitive priority and why it is important for his business.Identify and briefly describe at least five processes of pre-production services (gaining a customer) for this new pizza place.

1. (20 points)  The first thing that comes to your mind is how his business will compete with other pizza restaurants in town or even Domino’s Pizza.  What kind of competitive priorities (pick at least 2 but no more than 3) would you recommend for him to pursue?  Briefly explain each competitive priority and why it is important for his business.

2. (15 points)  The next thing you think of is a customer benefit package (CBP).  In your own words, explain to John, who has never heard about a CBP before, what a CPB is, why it is important to his business.

3. (15 points)  As a guideline to John, use your own ideas to generate at least 5 processes (as part of CBP) that will contribute to the success of this new pizza place.

4. (20 points)  Based on the processes you developed, briefly describe issues that must be considered in designing each process.

5. (15 points)  Identify and briefly describe at least five processes of pre-production services (gaining a customer) for this new pizza place.

6. (15 points)  Identify and briefly describe at least five processes of post-production services (keeping the customer) for this new pizza place.
