Keeping Army Intelligence Training Relevant in a Rapidly Evolving World

To attain a competitive edge in deterring or fighting a peer threat, training is the most critical factor in generating a force capable of dominating the systems-saturated environment of a future fight.

A reform program that emphasizes training, specifically with emerging technologies and a heavy focus on joint and combined high intensity conflict that also maximizes the capabilities of all three Army components, can reverse the erosion in intelligence readiness a high-intensity conventional war will not forgive a force that achieves intelligence proficiency only once it is immersed in a fight.
