Speaker: Jon Olson, U.S. Naval Intelligence Commander (Ret.)

The U.S. Intelligence Community is a large, highly complex, and, some would consider, a vital organization within the U.S. government.  Often controversial, the role of intelligence in support of national security decision-making, the development of foreign policy and security strategy, and in support of diplomatic and military operations will be discussed during this lecture.  Our guest speaker will explain the “intelligence cycle,” the various collection disciplines, the organization of the U.S. Intelligence Community, funding for the intelligence community, and the role of the various intelligence agencies within the national intelligence framework.  A lengthy question and answer period is available at the end of the lecture for students interested in specifics with regard to the U.S. Intelligence Community and intelligence operations.
