From the intel-in-practice archives….
Tenay Guvendiren sent us and all wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. She and LTC Scott Downey penned two articles in Small Wars Journal
about their experiences applying intel in a countersurgency . Though they
were specifically in Iraq, their take-aways are broader. BTW, they were
learned under General Petraeus’ campaign plan whose approach is now in effect,
mutatis mutandi, in Afghanistan. So we highlight those two works
again; if nothing else, for food for thought for those currently in the
fight.
