George A. Custer: GEOINT Pioneer
The idea of using balloons for reconnaissance dated to the Napoleonic Wars, but the U.S. Army did not give it a try until 1862, during MG George B. McClellan’s advance on the Confederate capital of Richmond. Though the new “Balloon Corps” enthusiastically promoted this new way of collecting intelligence on the enemy, Army officers, includ-ing a young staff officer named George A. Custer, wondered how much the “aeronauts” were really seeing from up in sky. To verify their reports, a reluctant Custer was sent aloft in a balloon. As a result, he became one of the world’s first geospatial-intelligence analysts, and viewed first-hand the importance and difficulties of what would later be called the collection-analysis interface.
During his ascent, Custer noted that rebel and Union encampments were hidden from view by trees to block out the blazing sun. Only after intense observation could Custer see camps, fortifications, and an odd artillery piece amongst the trees.
On reporting his findings, Custer received orders to make daily follow-up ascents. Through these daily observations, Custer became expert at locating enemy positions, discerning artillery muzzle flashes, and determining day-to-day enemy troop movement by counting campfires.
Custer’s intelligence did not result in a victory for MG George B. McClellan’s Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign. But it did demonstrate the need for subject-matter expertise, and the importance of innovation, imagination, and collabora-tion between the intelligence collector and analyst.

levels of InTellIgenCe analysIsThe IC publishes three overlapping levels of intelligence analysis: current intelli-gence, trendanalysis, and long-termassessment. In almost all cases, the reports re-flect a merging of different sources of intelligence, experience, and knowledge.Analystschoosewhatlevelofreporttoproduceandpublishbasedonthedatatheyhaveavailable,theurgencyofconsumers’needforthat information,andthedegreeof vetting and analysis that goes into the report. Each IC component names anddistributesitsreportsdifferently.
CUrrenT InTellIgenCe
Current intelligence, also known as first-phase reporting, is quick-turn-around, of-ten time-sensitive intelligence reporting or analysis about recent events or newlyacquired information. It addresses an issueof immediateoron-going concern.Thisreporting primarily contains the information gathered from an intelligence sourceand a brief analysis of the implicationsor significanceof that information, andmayincludewarningsaboutimminentthreats.Currentintelligenceusuallyonlyaddressesasingleeventorissue,andiswrittentoquicklydistributeinformationtoconsumers.

Intelligence officers analyze processed information to turn it into finishedintelligence. This may include drafting reports, evaluating the reliability of dif-ferent sources of information, resolving data conflicts, and other analyt-ic services.

Intelligencereportsaredistributedtoconsumers.
Consumers have two major roles in this step. First, consumers need toensure that their internal components that could benefit from intelligence receivewhat theyneed,withinpolicy, legal,andsecurityrestrictions.Thisresponsibilitymayinclude facilitating clearances for employees who need the information. Second,consumers need to evaluate the intelligence from their own perspective andprovidefeedbacktoproducersonwhethertheintelligencewasusefulandaccurate.The consumer’s feedback feeds into the Planning and Direction process, and theIntelligenceCyclecontinues.

Harry Gold, Soviet Spy
Harry Gold worked as a Soviet spy and courier from 1934 to 1946. His arrest in 1950 exposed the entire Soviet Atomic Bomb Spy Ring.
Harry Gold began working for the So-viet Union by providing information on processes used by his employer, Penn-sylvania Sugar Company, to develop industrial solvents. Gold soon moved on to working as a Soviet courier.
In 1944, Gold met Klaus Fuchs, a prominent physician from England working on the Manhattan Project. Over time, Gold couriered several hundred vital documents on American atomic research from Fuchs to Soviet handler Anatoli Yakovlev.
Klaus Fuchs was arrested by Great Britain’s MI5 in January 1950 and iden-tified Harry Gold as his courier. Gold confessed when, having claimed he had never been west of the Mississippi River, federal agents discovered a travel guide from Santa Fe in his home.
Gold’s revelations prompted the unrav-eling of the Atomic Spy Ring, leading to the exposure of Soviet agents Morton Sobell and David Greenglass, and the arrest, conviction, and execution of Ju-lius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953. Gold was tried and convicted of espionage in 1950, and died in 1965.

��George Washington, America’s First Military Intelligence Director
General George Washington was one of the most adept practitioners of military intelligence activities on either side of the Revolutionary War. General Washington made sophisticated use of HUMINT collection and he practiced extensive de-ception and misdirection against Tory opponents.
General Washington led several intelligence oper-ations. To learn about the activities of the British army in New York City and nearby areas, Washing-ton established the Army’s first intelligence unit, commanded by Thomas Knowlton. “Knowlton’s Rangers,” which consisted of 130 soldiers and 20 officers, were sent on secret missions too danger-ous for regular troops. Washington also led an elaborate and productive network, the Culper Ring, in New York City and Long Island. These operatives practiced sophisticated tradecraft that included code names, cover stories, secret writing, encryption, and dead drops.
Washington made frequent use of deception operations to offset British firepower and troop number superiority. He allowed fabricated docu-ments to fall into the hands of enemy agents or be discussed in their presence, told couriers carrying bogus information to be captured by the British, and inserted forged documents in intercepted Brit-ish pouches that were then sent on to their desti-nations. He had army procurement officers make false purchases of large quantities of supplies in places picked to convince the British that a size-able Continental force was massing. After learning from the Culper Ring that the British planned to attack a French expedition that had just landed in Newport, Rhode Island, Washington planted information with known British agents indicating that he intended to move against New York, and he staged a march toward the city. Those ploys persuaded Clinton to call back his troops headed for Rhode Island. A few years later, Washington used similar techniques to hide his movement toward the Chesapeake Bay and eventual victory at Yorktown by convincing the British initially that he was again moving on New York.

Women in Naval Intelligence
Navy women, known during World War II as WAVES, provided critical support to the U.S. Navy’s intelligence organizations. WAVES built and operated the 120 “Bombe” devices used to decipher German messages sent by the now-famous “Enigma” machines. They also participated in deriving “Special Intelligence” from decrypted enemy radio intercepts and other sources, to chart German U-boat operations in the Atlantic. This work enabled the Allies to break the back of Hitler’s submarine offensive.
Agnes Meyer Driscoll was among the most famous and formidable of the early women pioneers in cryptology. She was a brilliant cryptanalyst responsible for training most of the naval officers credited with the Navy’s code-breaking accomplishments during World War II. Rear Admiral Edwin T. Layton said of her in his memoir, “She not only trained most of the leading naval cryptanalysts of World War II, but they all were agreed that none exceeded her gifted accomplishments in the business.” She was inducted into the National Security Agency’s Hall of Honor in 2000.

Five Decades of Independent Advice
Presidents since Eisenhower have valued the seasoned and independent counsel of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB).
In January 1956, President Eisenhower established the President’s Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities (PBCFIA), in response to a blue-ribbon commission rec-ommendation. By the end of 1956 the PBCFIA’s confidential advice constituted perhaps the most important internal influence on American intelligence for the remainder of the Eisenhower administration.
The PBCFIA has been disbanded, reformed, and reshaped over time to serve each Pres-ident’s needs. The PBCFIA was renamed the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) under President Kennedy, and gained its current name, the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB), under President Bush in 2008.

s Opening Day for COMSEC
The U.S. Army’s 26th Division, deployed to France in World War I, devised a unique radio code to confuse German eavesdroppers. Its phrases were derived from baseball jargon, with which the Division’s green troops were likely more comfortable than the military terminology they were just learning. In this code, officers were “majors” and enlisted men “minors”; prisoners became “stolen bases,” and “hit by pitched ball” meant slightly wounded. “Wagner at bat,” refer-ring to Pittsburgh Pirates star shortstop Honus Wagner, meant “We are under bombardment.” Perhaps the most popular phrase from the code was “game called, darkness,” meaning “quiet day.”
