Intelligence for Multilateral Decision and Action Preface In early 1996, the Joint Military Intelligence College began planning for a conference on "Intelligence in Partnership" that would bring together U.S. and international experts in the fields of intelligence, operations, policy and planning to: Take stock of remarkable changes in the international scene, ■ Examine lessons from international crises, peacekeeping, peacemaking and coalition warfare, ■ Assess the role of intelligence in the evolving operations-intelligence partnership, and ■ Weigh different options for improving the effectiveness of our contributions to national security and international stability. As part of our preparations for the conference, Dr. Perry L. Pickert of the college's faculty undertook a review of relevant research performed by Joint Military Intelligence College graduate students in satisfaction of their thesis requirement for the Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence degree. Selecting from among these theses, Dr. Pickert arrayed subject headings spanning the spectrum of issues to be addressed by the conference. Working with the authors, he then distilled this research into essays that would complement one another and contribute to each of the conference's major areas of inquiry. With the essays in draft, Dr. Russell G. Swenson of the College's Office of Applied Research collaborated with Dr. Pickert in editing the oftenpathfinding research that contributes to Intelligence for Multilateral Decision and Action. The volume is fresh and it is instructive, addressing events, decisions and lessons to be learned from the viewpoints of prime Intelligence Support to Refugee Operations: Who's the Expert?, by Intelligence and the International Atomic Energy Agency, by Captain ■ Driftnet Fishery Enforcement: A New Intelligence Problem, by Intelligence for Multilateral Decision and Action offers one reflection of the college's strong commitment to innovative curriculum development and research on intelligence issues, the results of which are published in journals, monographs, books, the college's Occasional Paper and Discussion Paper series, and otherwise professionally disseminated. Beginning in 1994 the college responded to the new emphasis on intelligence in multilateral fora by introducing courses and assisting with intelligence training. Dr. Perry Pickert began a course at the college on "Intelligence in a UN Context," Majors Michael Kuszewski and Troy Bates, USMC, integrated a peace operations component into their course on "Intelligence in Other Than War Settings" and Douglas H. Dearth began conducting a workshop on "Intelligence and Peace Operations" at the Joint Military Intelligence Training Center. Dr. Pickert, using a grant from the College's Office of Applied Research, consulted faculty at the service academies and professional military schools and added primary UN documentation and academic publications to the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Joint Electronic Library "Peace Operations" CD-ROM for use in the classroom and for research throughout the Department of Defense. Fifteen faculty members have chaired more than 60 student thesis research projects which relate to intelligence in a multilateral setting. The faculty also began research and publication on the subject. Jan Goldman published "A Changing World: A Changing UN," in Military Review in September 1994. Associate Dean, Lt. Col. Joseph C. Bebel published "Peacekeeping: Let's Get Back to Basics," in Eueopaische Sicherheit in October 1994. Dr. Royal Thomas Goodden contributed "Intelligence and Peace Operations" in the second edition of Strategic Intelligence: Theory and Application, published jointly by the United States Army War College Center for Strategic Leadership and the Joint Military Intelligence Training Center in 1995. The Joint Military Intelligence College funded on-site research by Marine Corps University Professor Daniel W. Fitz-Simons and published as Discussion Paper Number Three, Australian Intelligence Collection in Combined Peacekeeping Operations, in February 1996. Student research has been recognized. Captain Audrey D. Hudgins and Major Gary L. Crone received the Joint Military Intelligence College's annual award for outstanding master's thesis. George Mason University awarded Ms. Elizabeth N. Starr the Outstanding Bachelor of Individualized Study Project in the Public Interest Award in 1995 for her paper on UN humanitarian intervention, begun in the college's undergraduate degree-completion program. The College received an unsolicited letter from the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Assistance commending Second Lieutenant Steven E. Maceda for the integration of military and political analysis in his thesis on Japanese peacekeeping. The work offered here provides a useful benchmark in our examination of intelligence in partnership in the 1990s. It signals priority research next to be done. It brings a useful new map to the journey into the 21st century. la Duin leit A.
