Career Spotlight: Intelligence Careers in Strategic Intelligence
:: An individual’s intelligence career can take many different paths as the intelligence cycle includes numerous types of collection and forms of intelligence products. One can focus his or her career in open source intelligence (OSINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT), and imagery analysis (IMINT) among other areas. Furthermore, the industry as a whole can be broken down into a number of disciplines, including long-term or strategic intelligence, operational intelligence, and tactical or current intelligence. Each of these disciplines utilizes all types of intelligence gathering to draw conclusions and observations about threats to the U.S. In this essay, I’d like to draw attention to one discipline for those interested in intelligence careers – strategic intelligence and what type of skills are necessary to create effective strategic intelligence.
