Counterintelligence & Security

Catalog description

This course will examine the evolution of U.S. counterintelligence (C.I.) organization and operations. The course will focus upon basic definitions, actors, objectives, and requirements. Special emphasis will then be placed on selected foreign intelligence services that represent a potential threat to U.S. national security. Attention will also be given to the security threat posed by non-state actors to U.S. government personnel, property, and activities. The course will also explore national C.I. policy and assess the need for reform of U.S. domestic intelligence and C.I. efforts more broadly. Prerequisite: INSS 3302 with a grade of "C" or better (may be taken concurrently).
