GIU Intelligence Support

The Intelligence Cycle is a continuous process of collecting, analyzing, disseminating, and managing intelligence information in the context of government and military affairs. The Intelligence Manager must remain fluid and be able to change his/her course of thinking with the ever changing threat. In stating that, the Intelligence Cycle is only a basis in which to begin the effort and should be seen as only the starting point. GIU personnel are able to demonstrate the cycle, how it is effectively managed, and how to avoid undo efforts that lead to failure.

Capabilities to Deliver: GIU personnel are well qualified and capable of providing superior support to the U.S. Intelligence and Allied community, as we have supported intelligence operations for the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Our expertise extends to greater heights. The staff we bring to our client’s efforts have worked all functional aspects of the intelligence cycle at all levels. The intelligence cycle is the five-step process by which information is converted into intelligence and made available to users:
1) Planning and direction “tasking”;
2) Collection, processing, and exploitation;
3) Production;
4) Dissemination and integration;
5) Evaluation.
This is a highly simplified model of intelligence operations in terms of processes; however, intelligence actions do not always follow sequentially through the cycle. For example, a request for imagery causes activity in the planning and direction step but may not involve new collection, going instead to a production facility where imagery is drawn from an archive.
The intelligence cycle, however, presents intelligence activities as a structure for the discussion of intelligence doctrine.

To better understand intelligence and its cycle, it is important to recognize the clear and critical distinction between information and intelligence. Information is data that has been collected but not further developed through analysis, interpretation, or correlation with other data and intelligence.
Asymmetric warfare provides new challenges to the intelligence cycle model.
GIU Personnel are available for:
• Intel Support Operations
• Anti-Terrorism
• Surveillance and Counter Surveillance Training

All Intelligence related efforts are restricted to the USG and Allied Nations working under the U.S. Department of State – Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and Defense Services, in accordance with 22 U.S.C. 2778-2780 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130)
