This is the first single-authored, comprehensive treatment of intelligence support to the full range of homeland security practitioners with a focus on counterterrorism and cyber-security. In the post 9/11 era, federal homeland security professionals rely heavily on intelligence to perform their tasks in all mission areas--prevent, protect, mitigate, respond, and recover. But this enterprise also includes hundreds of thousands of state and local government and private sector practitioners who are still exploring how intelligence can act as a force multiplier in helping them achieve their goals. Steiner provides a thorough and in-depth picture of why intelligence is so crucial to homeland security missions, who provides intelligence support to which homeland security customer, and how intelligence products differ depending on the customer's specific needs and duties

Of the many challenges faced by the Department of Homeland Security & its intelligence enterprise, developing a common culture remains one of the most daunting tasks. Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB) provides an analytical methodology that could cultivate a common analytical culture in the homeland security intelligence community, which is key to the community's effectiveness in thwarting a terrorist attack against the United States.

This article appeared in Strategic Insights (December 2002), v.1 no.10 ; September 11, 2001 demonstrated that policy makers and intelligence organizations had conducted business in traditional ways, not in response to today's threats to our nation. The attacks in September suggest that inadequate information sharing between law enforcement and national intelligence agencies led to lost opportunities to thwart the attacks launched by Al-Qaeda. Little has yet been done to fix many of these problems. The nation has failed to formulate significant changes in the way it tasks, collects, analyzes, produces and disseminates intelligence information. The architecture needed to provide intelligence for homeland defense has not yet emerged. The September 11 attacks are a watershed event that should change our current intelligence organization, perhaps resulting in legislation as important as the National Security Act of 1947.
