Module 4 – Case
INTELLIGENCE ISSUES IN BORDER SECURITY, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, AND NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING
Assignment Overview
Border Security, human trafficking, and narcotics trafficking are three non-traditional threats now facing the nation. None has clear-cut solutions or clear-cut rules for combatting them or collecting intelligence about them.
Moreover, the dominant worldview of “borders” sees borders mainly in military terms—something that the United States has been largely able to avoid due to its placement on the globe. As a consequence, it is deeply ingrained in the U.S. conscience and in the U.S. Constitution that the military is not usually the appropriate organization to defend the U.S. borders.
Is it time for that to change?
Case Assignment
1. Explain which threat—physical border security, human trafficking, or narcotics trafficking—is the most important to the nation at this time.
2.Explain how the other two threats—as well as one not listed here (you have to find one or use one that you have discussed in previous assignments), impact the way in which we collect intelligence and combat the threats.
3.Explain how counterintelligence efforts might play a role in combatting the threat.
4.Identify which 2 INTs are most appropriate for collecting information against the threat, and the limitations of both that will provide gaps that the opposing side can exploit.
5.Properly cite the quotations that you use to support your statements.
