| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Intelligence failure leading to military defeat is often examined through an apportionment of guilt or blame. Yet the capacity of the Intelligence Cycle and to support contemporary military operations is coming under increasing pressure. Doctrinal developments, and the demands of new operational theatres, suggest its principles need to be fundamentally reconsidered. Understanding essential weaknesses in the Intelligence Cycle's structure is examined against a backdrop of the staff and doctrinal environments to which it is applied. From this, proposals for the Intelligence Cycle's future applicability - and consideration of an alternative model that may be followed - are made possible. |
