The top DOD intelligence official, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, has issued a new Defense Intelligence Strategy paper. Clapper writes in the paper that the “pace, scope, and complexity of change” in the upcoming era “will challenge the minds and resources of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise.” He notes that it will take a “concerted, collective effort” by the enterprise, which he defines as the DOD intelligence, counterintelligence, and security communities, to protect intel assets “against all forms and domains of attack” and to transform itself into an “agile, global, and diverse” entity. The paper lays out a series of strategic goals, objectives, and priorities. We present it here.
The Space Force should take bold, decisive steps—and soon—to develop the capabilities and architecture needed to support more flexible, dynamic operations in orbit and counter Chinese aggression and technological progress, according to a new report from AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
