Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since 1999, reinvigorated understanding and investment has seen an increase in the effective use of intelligence and its associated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance collection capabilities during recent operations in the Middle East and South Asia. During this period Army's intelligence capability has demonstrated agility in tailoring its organisation to meet evolving expeditionary force requirements-this has been no more evident than during deployments to Afghanistan. This article examines two key challenges for Army's intelligence capability post-Afghanistan. Initially, it will examine the challenge of introducing the provision of professional intelligence support to commanders at Army's highest levels in order to improve synchronisation of effort regarding intelligence activities across the Service. Secondly, it will review the provision of intelligence support to amphibious operations and the challenge of preparing personnel for employment within a new capability, while being constrained by time and a lack of current knowledge, skill and experience. |
