INTV305

INTV 305 will provide a broad overview of the American intelligence systems - collection, analysis, counterintelligence, and covert operations - and demonstrate how these systems work together to provide a \"decision advantage\" for policy makers. Students will also learn how US adversaries have shifted away from directly challenging American forces and have moved to a less risky hybrid warfare model to achieve their tactical and strategic goals. Students will use a combination of research and critical thinking exercises to gain an understanding of importance of how intelligence is used to inform the decision-making process as well as how to detect and guard against adversarial information operations designed manipulate information to induce decision makers to act against their own best interests.
