Strategic Integrity Done RightIntegrity Emergent: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

Phi Beta Iota Public Intelligence Blog 31 March 2011

Captain Porter explained that US policy could benefit from adhering to a coherent strategic context. He was concerned that our leaders increasingly are becoming captive to temporal urgency without being able to consider a wider strategic perspective. We need to appreciate the interconnectedness and complexity of our strategic environment – better described as a strategic ecology. He said that this argues for a whole-of-nation, functional approach to development, diplomacy and defense, versus simply treating these as organizational stovepipes. He pointed out that such a functional approach has now been recognized in the National Security Strategy, the Quadrennial Defense Review, and the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review.

Key IO TopicsAuthorities. Modify every single policy, acquisition, & operations authority.

Organizations. Cyber (9) in every organizations—create the distributed Army brain.

Signal Management. Open Spectrum now, data security not network security.

Enterprise Services. Simple cell phones, OnStar, regional call & data centers.

Operationalize Cyber. Every Army body is a thinker first, a shooter second.

Execute Full Spectrum Cyber. Civil Affairs rules now, put the best & brightest there.

Global Command & Control. Multinational, shared information as harmonizer

Agile Cyber Proponency. Everyone on Earth has an IP address. Leverage that.

21st Century Cyber-Warrior. May the crowd be with you—leading minds.

Requirements & Resources. Done right this impacts on every Army element.

Cyber-IO: The Global Context

“ Secret intelligence is ten percent of all-source intelligence, and all-source intelligence is ten percent of Information Operations.”

Renier Cruz, GS-15 (Should be DISL/SES)US Special Operations Command J-2 Pit Boss

Iraq Case Study Japan Case StudyStrategic Lessons• Secret intelligence manipulated• Secret intelligence ignored• Secret intelligence inadequate• Obsessions block global coverage• No coherent iO strategy/message• Lack of policy integrity hurt bad

Operational Net AssessmentB Kick-Off OOBC Battle damageD Congressional debateD WMD actual statusF Covert Operations OptionsF Global IO ImagesF Post-War Insurgency IntelligenceF Reconstruction Intelligence

Bottom Line: Intelligence irrelevant, Information Operations non-existent

Strategic Lessons• Long-term total cost matters• Climate change a vital context• Precautionary principle not present• Intelligence assessment not done• Integrity lacking in private sector• Integrity lacking in public sector

Operational Net AssessmentA One guy—one—got it and warnedF Blown off by his corporationF Blown off by the governmentF No learning at all since 1952F No calculation of consequencesF No provision for Chernobyl needF Misrepresentation to public F Cost to be borne by public

Bottom Line: IO 21 demands 360 view, long view, deep true cost study

May the Crowd Be With You…

The truth at any cost lowers all other costs.
