diplomacy with a unique perspective on the nations of the world. The point of contact with
DOS for intelligence, analysis, and research is the Bureau of Intelligence and Research
(INR). Information concerning political and military leaders, cultural trends, and
economics can be valuable for a truly effects-based approach to conflict.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) encompasses Customs and Border
Protection, Transportation Security Administration, Secret Service, and the Coast Guard.
DHS gathers intelligence via its domestic counterterrorism and disaster response
missions. Airpower planners may be able to use DHS-derived intelligence to identify
foreign-based terrorist organizations and infrastructure.
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its national laboratories, provides significant
CBRN analysis data related to facilities and installations associated with the proliferation
of WMD. The Department of Energy can also provide prediction models and assist in
consequence analysis of CBRN threats. The Department’s Office of Intelligence and CI
provides timely technical intelligence analysis supporting policymakers, national security
missions in defense, homeland security, cyber security, intelligence, and energy security.
The Department of the Treasury (DOT) can support the joint targeting process for
counter-threat finance issues. The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets
Control and Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence administer and enforce
economic and trade sanctions, based on US foreign policy and national security goals,
against certain national security threats (e.g., rogue nations, terrorist facilitators, WMD
proliferators, money launderers, transnational criminal organizations).
Department of Justice (DOJ) subordinate organizations, such as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), can aid targeting
efforts when their investigations lead to foreign-based terrorist or criminal infrastructure.
The FBI is tasked with penetrating terrorist organizations and other national security
threats, while the DEA shares drug-related information with the intelligence community.
