The U.S. faces evolving national security threats that span a wide variety of areas, domestic and international terrorist threats, foreign military operations, global and domestic economics, worldwide and domestic politics, global technology “wars” and beyond. 

The continually and quickly evolving national security landscape requires that defense and intelligence professionals possess the right knowledge and skills—at the right levels—in support of mission effectiveness.

  • Intelligence Community agencies and organizations, mission and history
  • Bias in intelligence analysis
  • Critical thinking
  • Intelligence collection sources (e.g., geospatial intelligence and open-source intelligence)
  • Intelligence analysis techniques (e.g., evaluating and marshaling evidence, utilizing structured analytic techniques and writing to the analytic tradecraft standards)
  • Intelligence preparation for the battlefield
  • Spectrum warfare 

The online course content is contextualized and specialized to the Intelligence Community and U.S. Department of Defense, and is based on feedback from Federal government leaders about the intelligence-related knowledge and skill areas their workforces need for mission effectiveness.
