| Summary/Abstract |
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.
