I think frostfire hit it on the head. We have a military with how many different INTELs and how well do they work and work together? Israel is go goo because they are so small and everything is linked together. Well unlike our IC. SOF is special and other are normal and we each use different systems, platforms and programs.

We have to many chiefs that have no clue in the INTs, let along operational side of things. Then you have operations that don't look at the intel, dart board planning because they have their own agendas.

Like myself and Frostfire said, getting people reading and doing it over and over.

Look at it this way. If the military is using say ArcGIS, Google Earth or Palantir. Then why aren't units getting the paid NET teams, MTTs and foundry programs paid for to come and teach them? There are tons on paid for programs out there that units don't tap into. The reason isn't because they don't know. It is typically the soldiers don't want to sit in a classroom weeks before deploying. So you have All Source Analysis, Foxes, ETC that will be using say Palantir and Arcs daily or weekly yet never had formal training on the system they will not sit in a class. I told Foxes that didn't want to sit in a four day refresher class, so you much rather go home at 1 pm (1300) because of deploying. YES. Well would you stay or go to a flat range till four (1600)? YES. YOU GET what I'm driving at.

This is IMO some of the same stuff going on in the IC. Not in training but in the process.
