combine the analysis of information from all sources of intelligence with the
joint planning of operations that draw on that analysis. In this section, we step
back from looking just at the counterterrorism problem. We reflect on
whether the government is organized adequately to direct resources and build
the intelligence capabilities it will need not just for countering terrorism, but
for the broader range of national security challenges in the decades ahead.
During the Cold War, intelligence agencies did not depend on seamless inte-
gration to track and count the thousands of military targets--such as tanks and
missiles--fielded by the Soviet Union and other adversary states. Each agency
concentrated on its specialized mission, acquiring its own information and then
sharing it via formal, finished reports.The Department of Defense had given
birth to and dominated the main agencies for technical collection of intelli-
gence. Resources were shifted at an incremental pace, coping with challenges
that arose over years, even decades.
