How can the United States Army Improve Human Intelligence in Peace Operations?

<p>In military operations every soldier is a human intelligence (HUMINT) collector. The new doctrine and current peace operations regarding the G2X position fails to incorporate all HUMINT collectors under the G2X. Additionally the new doctrine also fails to incorporate nonintelligence HUMINT collectors involved in peace operations. Current doctrine calls on the many secondary HUMINT collectors to collect information or intelligence as part of their mission. These secondary collectors such as the Military Police Psychological Operations Civil Affairs and Line Units conduct liaison with international and local police forces host-government official nongovernment organizations and local leaders. These are same individuals with whom the primary HUMINT collectors liaison. But the secondary HUMINT collectors do not fall under the G2X's ability to deconflict. The lack of deconfliction and coordination leads to redundant coverage of sources and circular reporting. If the efforts of the secondary and primary collectors could be deconflicted it would reduce circular reporting and redundancy. The eliminated redundancy would free primary HUMINT collectors to concentrate on sources that require street craft and resources not available to secondary collectors.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
