Preparing and Conducting
Intelligence Briefings
The whole article emphasizes the important duties of intelligence
analysts, what do they do, what are their jobs, and how do they do their jobs.
It explains the military intelligence briefings and its preparation with the
practical examples. In military services, the briefing
is taught to analyze the data on an appropriate person. It provides the data in
a detailed form. It is important for intelligence
analysts to accomplish the tasks in law enforcement in an effective manner. The
preparation of effective briefing allows people to evaluate their professional
capability.
The briefing
is the standardized method that is used by analysts to update the information
to the other people that are involved in some kind of mission. It is a state of
their preparation towards the specific mission. The debriefing is conducted by
the commander and is sometimes used to explain the predictions and
deductions on the basis of available intelligence. The debriefing method is
conducted at almost every level of command, is repeated at every level of the
command. It is the most traditional method of collecting data and then
delivering to those who need it.
There are certain
duties that intelligence analysts need to perform, besides collecting
information. Most of the analysts do this on a regular
basis, and once the order is issued, they
have to do actual planning in delivering
that particular information. They have to make sure that all the updates are
delivered to the commander, about their progress or lack thereof. When certain missions are launched, the briefings
become more frequent. Mostly debriefings are held on special occasions such as informing visiting dignitaries or
adjacent commands. In this case, intelligence analysts use logistics plans to
use specific equipment in the mission.
This variable is mostly discussed between weather and operation at the time of
debriefing. For example, if debriefing is done without the logistics plan and in adverse conditions of weather, then it can cause problems.
In the area of
intelligence analysis, ethical
considerations have been a major issue. The mission commander or the customer
had to clear the objectives of the mission and use formal briefings for the
open discussion. There is no kind of ethical considerations in the briefing; for example,
when the operation of Iraqi freedom was conducted, the intelligence analysts
were ordered to brief openly and in a blunt way. The main objective of the
debriefing is to deliver data accurately; there
is no need to consider the ethical issues in this case.
The briefings are not
only used in law enforcement, but they are
also used in the business environment. The article also gives a complete
description of the briefings in the
business. However, the operations of the business are not like military
operations. The briefings and decisions in the business are followed by complete planning, and then a proper decision is made. However, the briefings in
military operations and law enforcement
are the same and is used to address the
instructions about the mission properly.
There are also certain
responsibilities on the intelligence analysts, in which one is to make
predictions. In this case, when the commander
is unavailable to give briefings, then
analysts are allowed to make their own assumptions by analyzing the situation.
Another job of analysts is to make sure that all these predictions should be
well supported, well-analyzed and well researched. However, the commander has
an opportunity to reject those assumptions in case of any misconception.
Sometimes, the commanders did not react well to the assumptions made by analysts
or the prediction that goes against their preference.
The article also gives
a complete description of the way of
presenting briefing. There are many ways to prepare the briefing, but most people use PowerPoint presentation to
deliver the information in a perfect
manner. The method of briefing using PowerPoint has been proved to the most effective manner in law enforcement and military operations. In
this case, the recipients already have a detail of briefing in the paper form,
if there is any misunderstanding in the slides. The PowerPoint has proven to be
one of the classified methods and served
the purpose of keeping the briefing on track in case of any misconception. But
the most important part is the preparation of the slides. The preparator should
take care of the sequence of information and explain the information using a
storytelling method. It is convenient to add the maps and pictures in the slide
so that the delivered information should be more clear to the audience.
While preparing a
slide, it should be kept in mind, that the data should be as simple as
possible. The best method to explain the slide and briefing is to pull the next
slide and to point out the two or more
key times on it, without reading word to word. After that, the recipient should
allow the audience to pursue the data until to proceed. While presenting
information, the recipient should not use the slang or jargon unless it is
necessary. This method is not only used in law enforcement or military
operations, but in every organization. Sometimes, the difficulty is caused in
the context of language in case of briefing in a foreign country. In this case, proper
practice should be done before the briefing.
Moreover, backgrounds and colour schemes
also play an important part while giving
a presentation on PowerPoint.
Moreover, the article
has also explained the roles of intelligence analysts and the relationships
with the command. Most often, the intelligence analyst has a detail view of the upcoming mission or the
affairs at ground level. In this case, they have an opportunity to establish
the right priorities or to determine whether the command is asking the right questions. Sometimes, the command or the
decision maker don’t have enough time to manage the operation. In this case,
they rely on the intelligence analyst to
advise the issue. The other role of intelligence analyst include assisting
their commanders and redirecting their priorities, and in some cases, the commanders understand the advice
given by the analyst. It is their responsibility to prepare the advice if the
commander is making tactical errors. The analysis should have the sense to know their information and their
customer or commander as it is the most important thing to do for an analyst.
There are certain
issues that an intelligence analyst has to deal with, such as demeanour of the customer or command.
Sometimes, the briefings are abrupt by the audiences, but it is done in a
constructive manner. So it is another reason, that an analyst should have complete information about their customer and
material they are presenting. In the case
of practising, a briefer needs to spend a
large amount of time practising the
briefing. While briefing, there are some things that should consider such as body positioning. Moreover,
there are different types of briefs such as mission briefings, information
briefings and decision briefings. All these types are valuable in conducting a specific mission. The information briefing is
important to explain the geographical, political or cultural issues in the
concerning area. The decision briefing is used while making plans about giving
directions. The mission briefing is
encompassing and is held before the
mission. In short, it is necessary for the research analyst to know their
duties and have complete information on
how to prepare and conduct briefings.
