The U.S. military is revamping its spying program to better focus on threats off the battlefield, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.
The revised approach will focus on and improve the practice of human intelligence by U.S. military spies and better integrate that information into the broader intelligence community by sharing its assets with these organizations, according to Pentagon officials.
Officials said Tuesday that the new human intelligence effort will primarily focus on the Asia-Pacifc region, where growing threats from China, North Korea and even Muslim fundamentalist groups in the Philippines are on the rise.
Officials insisted that the new program, called the Defense Clandestine Service, will not be a reorganizing and moving of existing military spying assets. Instead, the move will add unique military capabilities to the bigger intelligence picture in support of both the CIA and the director of national intelligence, according to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby.
The new effort has been in the works for some time as lessons learned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taught the military news ways of thinking about intelligence collection, he said.
"It is borne coming out of 10 years of war, what we have learned, what we need to improve, better integration and coordination with the intelligence community and within the inter-agencies as we start to turn our attention to issues outside the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," Kirby said.
Kirby said one of the goals is to rebalance the military's intelligence collection, relying less on high-tech methods of collection while focusing and improving human intelligence collection, the practice of working with people to gather information.
He acknowledged that the practice of human intelligence has been a weak point for the military and said one of the goals is to rebalance the military's intel collection and rely less on high-tech methods of collection and focus and improve on human intelligence collection, the practice of working with people to gather information.
"We are very proficient on the technical side of intelligence collection, and this will help us get better on the human intelligence effort," Kirby said. He would not detail how the military plans to improve that effort.
The military's new intelligence service has several hundred members and is expected to grow with several hundred more over the next several years, but there has been no decision on how big it will end up, according to Kirby. The organization would grow by moving personnel and assignments of those already in the military intelligence community, he said.
Asked whether this is a power-grab attempt by the military at the expense of the CIA and other intelligence agencies, Kirby said it is not.
"I think we are comfortable with the way we set it up," he said. "This is intended to be complementary with efforts, not to be in competition with other intelligence efforts."

Your information and independent international spying by the use of churches and working with Canada,UK. And using people who are married, or working in a foreign country will not work for the United States, your international embassy and people who are given a visa from any foreign governments to the 3 named country's have and are on a intelligence watch list. The pentagon project programs ( life long ) working with Canada and UK. Has been in violation of foreign governments. You should understand that some governments are and have been scanning people upon entering their country and you don't even know. At the window where you receive your entry visa. Good luck with your violation
thanks for you.buy win 7 home.
China has already surpassed the threat from Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and alike. There was no serious threat from the Middle East in the first place but it always existed from Asia. The Iraq ruse was a wise move to draw the U.S. attention away from real troublemakers - China and allies.
Wasn't it the Pentagon that did such spectacular job estimating Saddam's WMD arsenal? And aren't these the same brains who thought Chalabi was a viable future President of Iraq? And all that stuff about Iraqis welcoming the US with open arms- sorta like the liberation of Paris? We've heard quite enough from this bunch, maybe time to disband DoD's p a t h e t i c attempt at playing spy.
"The revised approach will focus on and improve the practice of human intelligence by U.S. military spies..." -right, those U.S. military spies are mercenary locals and double agents who tell them what they want to hear for a price. No real intelligence there.
We already have the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), why do we now need the DCS (Defense Clandestine Service), unless that's just a branch of the DIA...which would be about right (same as their civilian counterpart).
Don't forget the hundreds of private intelligence agencies.....that get paid to spy on the citizenry...
Going from the Men in Black to the Man Who Knew Too Little......way to keep a secret guys!
With in each juciy tidbit of propoganda there are little bits of truths that the media can neither confirm or rule out. First the USA has two regional areas to maintian as peaceful as possible; the far east and middle east. The middle east has numerous possiblities but, most are unlikey to occur because everyone will be negatively affected. There is a threat to humanity in the region if Jordon's water supply is disrupted, contaminated or etc. No commander regionally will attack a neighbor of Jordon with the possible that the weapons will hurt themselves. No other water sources currently exist to satisify the region. The economic threat of toxic crude is well known. The far east. The new human spy for the mil. Most are our friends are flaw free guesses to the whole of possibilties for the pentagon. The other spies are come busy in current events and may not produce the formatted product for the pentagon only.
Another way to increase the DOD budget.
I agree with Gideon on most things except Obama. I believe Obama will stand behind Israel when the SHTF. Iran government needs to be taken out and North Korea needs to be knocked down a few pegs. Americans need to understand that we have enemies who will stop at nothing to see us destroyed instead of waiting for it to happen first. We don't live in a peaceful world. To assume so is suicide.
Indeed.
It would be better for everybody, to have Israel to lead.
It would then be possible to destroy the Arab, and the Persian races.
After the third temple is built, blood sacrafice will resume, with goy children paying for the crimes of their fathers.
Goy are meant to serve israel.
Maybe they will acquire enough brain power to figure out that Murdoch has a Chinese wife and controls the GOP.
They finally decided to upgrade from Windows 2000, huh? Calling it a "Military rework of the Spy Network" sure sounds a lot sexier though.
They are using lessons learned from Iraq and Afghanistan to help them.
What lessons if it were up to the Pentagon we would be borrowing from China to stay there forever.
I'm sure mossad would help you silly Americans out of your trouble..
For a nominal fee....
and just think i am taking the pages out of the jewish bible and wiping my azz with it. not to bad
"The Jewish Bible"
That's funny. It shows how ignorant you truly are.
I used to like Israel.
Thanks for changing my mind.
This is how the dems win every election-
"if you font vote for us, the republicans will-
Take away women's rights
Take away medicare and push grandma off a mountain
Take away retirement
Dehumanize[even more so under the current admin] Gays
Have the Democrats offered any good piece of legislation? No, just to scare us alongside their propaganda machine the DMSNBC.
As long as the candidate puts Israel first, all is well.
Never again.
Did you read the article you commented on? Just wondering because it's not about Dem vs Repub. You sure you are in the right place? You seem lost.
I think they should just have Michael Western from Burn Notice be in the spy agency... He could kick some ass.
Israel needs to be the focus here.
We are facing destruction from Iran, but you still stuff burgers in your fat American faces...
PUT BOOTS IN IRAN!!
Have you forgotten what happened to us in WW2???
If you Americans withdraw support, I'm quite sure my nation will take you down with us. The Jews are sick of taking shittt.
Read the bible, the Jews are Chosen. You owe us your support.
LOL...what a tool.
Yea, the Hebrew Hammer.....
Ya, a Hebrew hammer....
The jeews still want us to feel guilty regarding the Holocaust.
America had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOLOCAUST.
Europe needs to be israel's supplier not US.
Zionists- quit making the American's feel guilty.
Iran has the best name for you folks , the "Zionist Entity".
The iranian Supreme leader, pres, and Majlis are no good as well themselves, so don't think I'm a Muslim for one second.
Is fine Pedro, mossad will deal with people like you.
Israel comes first.
You sir, are an idiot. You couldn't take down anyone if you tried. WW2.. seriously? Get with the times.
Pretty sure your the idiot goy....
Know what a goy is???
A fucckking cattle, for sacrafice at the Temple.
About all you Americans are good for.
Are you serious. we owe you. your funny. if it wasnt the united states protecting you all the time you would of been roast by now. sounds like to me we should of let hitler finish your people off and save tax payers money
Are you guys nuts? Giddeon is a tool for the muslims trying to incite us to NOT be supportive of Israel.
You should probably not be typing.
Juden Schwein!
Wow some sissy talking about Americans and eating. Sooooo new and funny. All this jealousy is making me crave some Arbys. I'm glad I live in a country where I can do and get whatever I want.
Put ur own damn boots on the ground. It is not our war nor our problem.
Pretty obvious that this guy, Gideon, is not Jewish or Israeli. He's just stirring the pot to heat up the anti-semitic sentiment here. A troll. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It looks like the Washington monument is flipping the bird to the pentagon. Hahahahahahaha
as it should....
Its a free for all you can bet their life snakes r high an so r they Its in the air tonight. lol
??????????????????????????????
I do not understand why on earth this information is released to the public. Has the meaning of the word "spy" changed? Why are we endangering those already in place? This is just so wrong on so many levels that it freezes the brain to even begin.
As long as Israel is safe, I could give a fucccck less about goy spooks...
Read the bible, Jews are Chosen.
The media miss-uses the word "spy" all the time.
yapthey tell it all an then wonder why we get attacked . what school did the come from lol
Nothing will ever get accomplished with all the alphabet soup intelligence agencies competing with one another. Nuff said.
Mossad is much superior to your pathetic excuses for intelligence agencies....
Vote for pro-zionist candidates, Israel must come first.
Okay..... thanks for advising the world of the spy changes. Good thinkin'.
Romney-Rubio 2012 will stop the spread of communism within our borders. God Bless America.
There are only 2 people who are bigger losers than you: Romney and Rubio. Congrats.
Hey mfx3, why is it that women like you always post stupid comments? You must be from Russia or Cuba maybe?
Romney and Rubio aren't divisive as our President and JB are. So many folks' don't remember what a proud American feeling is like .
Whether the left and and the m S m like it or not, Romney and Rubio will be humble and not arrogant and ego-centric.
They aren't perfect, but it's a better alternative.
Im anticipating Romney asking the president during the debates , "are we better off than we were 4 yrs ago?"
He will have to eat those words and swallow them like a potato chip sideways.
Ok folks, lets get ready for the blame Bush bots replying with only emotion, fear mongering , and bumper sticker comments. The left have no substance. You can compare the left to those in Iran at Friday prayers shouting" dethh to Amrika! "
Aw, GeezUs H. Crappies.
I know right?!?! This article is basically eliminating any secrecy for the "new spy program" that they are planning to implement... Lets just tell the whole continent of Asia, "hey, we're going to spy on you, hope you don't mind!".... Military intelligence... More like military ignorance! But look at who the Commander in Chief is, not suprising at all...
Your right, Obama has voiced discontent with Israeli policy. He has to go....
Never again!!
yap wonder what school they came from lol
they all tell to much .TO MUCH INFO
So there will be no more issues with paying "the ladies of the night," those expenses will be covered by a new payroll deduction from everyone's paycheck. Let's keep spreading American democracy, one lay at a time.
Is there not a contradiction in this article? Please compare first sentence of third paragraph with last sentence of eigth paragraph......Compare: There will not be a moving of existing assets with the organization would grow by moving personnel and assignments of those already in military intelligence. Either disinformation, confusion or stupidity. By whom I do not know.
you said it all when you said in your last few words , ,,,, you do not know , i don't either , but the sad part is they might not know either.
What a propaganda piece. Increased border security on the Mexican border is there to prevent terrorists from coming across, and from bring arms INTO the usa? Try dealing with some FACTS CNN – this report was rife with pure BS.
FACT – more illegals are crossing from the USA into Mexico than the other way around.
FACT – the gun traffic runs from the USA into Mexico and most of the arms used by the drug lords are purchased at gun shows in the USA from front men buyers and sold at huge profit to the drug lords for smuggling back into Mexico
FACT there has not been a single terrorist that we know of that has ever gained entry into the USA by crossing illegally over the Mexican USA border. Several HAVE been intercepted crossing from CANADA (and are we beefing up security on that border/) NO. (nor should we)
What we really have is a racist policy of border enforcement fueled largely by right wing politics driven by the TeaParty and the NRA in the USA that has all our politicians cowed (including our current President – who has found it necessary to tout his increased level of border security that has greatly exceeded that under his Republican predecessor.
And when our Justice department engaged in a program to attempt to follow the illegal gun traffic by allowing gunrunners to make purchases so they could be followed and tracked to the Drug Lords of Mexico, The NRA and right wing raised a huge stink trying to gain political advantage when a us border agent was killed by one of the low level gun runners. But the policy in place was the correct one, the casualty was most unfortunate but should not have led to the termination of that program.
Say hello to Mickey and Donald while you're there in Fantasyland.
Several terrorists have crossed from Canada, you say? Well, there was Ahmed Ressam (whose handler was already in the US under refugee status, turned state's witness on him). Any others? Please don't repeat the myth about any 9/11 terrorists.
If Israel suffers because of your weak borders, goyim blood will flow.
Israel comes first.
Yay more agencies to record every porn site I visit!
Actually, it's more agencies to make sure our military is well informed and can actually protect us. Who's looking at what porn sites you visit are marketing companies.
Right, because the military needs to be more well informed, even though we've had stealth bombers for half a century, and have been developing secret technologies that haven't seen the light of day ever since. Pretty sure we already have the technology to just eliminate any potential military threat with little to no effort. Controlling free speech and free thought, however, is a little more difficult.
with obama leaning into russian front man in south korea and asking putin for favours should be the first concern of defence.
RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY IS AIDED BY OBAMA .
It's facilitated by Obama, you have to be politically correct here. 😉
Russia is selling arms, ammunition, and natural gas to China and China is all too willing to buy from them...Its not in the U.S best interest to have two of the biggest powers in Eurasia as allies..Putin may be a dictator in a crack pot democracy but we need their assistance in containing a rising China.
you are clearly saying we must kiss russian china but !
the future of our nation in the hands of a mindset like yours is alarming.
As president and commander-in-chief, who would take the 3am call for Mitt on the Sabbath? Hehehe!
Maybe Rev. Jeremiah Wright can take the call.
I would imagine a person in the same position as whomever takes those calls now for the observant Christian President Obama. The prohibition on working on the Sabbath which you allude to is not limited to the Mormon faith. Nor would it prove any more an obstacle to Mitt Romney than it does to Presdient Obama.
The following quote has been on my office wall for years:
"Intelligence is the second oldest profession in the world;
but it is more immoral and has many more amateurs than the first"

For the biggest threats to our nation, they only need to look in the mirror.
At least someone knows the truth, but don't say it too loud though. We have infiltrated within the ranks of the military and intelligence areas. When the crap hits the fan, it will be the biggest blunder of all time by their so-called Intelligence.
Our intelligence is this: every action creates a reaction.
Half your assets are working for Israel....
As it should be.
Too bad our horny secret service agents didn't try to solicit some female suicide bombers! Idiots!
A few more layers of management and liasions will really shorten the kill chain right? or maybe just add a few more positions for GOs and civillian equivalents.
yeah, more bureaucrats. What a improvement
great minds think alike!
Military intelligence? Then what ever happened to the WMD's in Iraqi? So it was all a hoax by the GWB administration to drag us into an illegitimate war? Then if so, why isn't GWB and cabinet detained at the Hague? Following the killing of OBL, Dick Cheyney was quick to claim it was his former administration's intelligence that got the job done! Then if they had such intelligence of OBL's whereabouts at their disposal, why did they harbor him in Pakistan? Let's face it, our military intelligence is as effective or ineffective as the a-h/o/l/e/s at the helms of using it!
You obviously have no idea about Intel or politics. Keep your day job!
We had something like this during the Vietnam War; it was called the Army Security Agency (ASA). Although ostensibly an Army asset, it was in actually under the control of, and answered solely to, the National Security Council. This created a "stovepipe" infrastructure, in which intelligence could not be disseminated to people in the field until it had propagated all the way up to D.C. and then all the way back down. The result was stale, incomplete intel delivered far too late for field personnel to make use of.
This is known history in the Intelligence community, and the fact that it's being trotted-out again in spite of that history smacks of little more than a bare-faced power grab on the part of some bureaucrat at the CIA.
ASA was broken into 2 entities, US Army Intelligence Security Command (INSCOM) and the National Security Agency (NSA).
Isn't a stovepipe structure the main reason 9/11 was able to happen? FBI field agents were sending intel up the chain of command and it never got desseminated?
Able Danger
Wrong. ASA existed for many years before the Viet Nam war. It was subordinate to the National Security Agency (NSA), not the National Security Council. ASA played a vital role in tracking Soviet and Chinese strategic warfare capabilities. It was a great place to serve.
The ASA came about in 1945 after the OSS was dismantled. It had its place mostly in electronic warfare (intercept) operations and was finally broken apart in 1976 (many suggest we got too big for our britches) and became Army INSCOM (the Intelligence and Security Command). The Air Force has the ESS (Electronic Security Squadron) and the Navy the NSG. My old MOS, 05K, was eventually swallowed up into another series (the 98 series) after teleype and HF began to fall by the wayside. We were the top 10% of the Army. We few, we happy few!
Bring back Napoleon Solo, Illya Kuryakin, Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott. They will save the world.
Amen that
April Dancer. She was cuter. 🙂
yes let us post our plans for spy operations on cnn
totally gnar
yap tell the world what an when we do it. then wonder why we get attacked .
Huh? Intelligence is an oxymoron.
Yours appears to be.
Each secret CIA cell will set up a Facebook page entitled (as an example) – Iranian CIA Secret Cell Operating in Damascus - and will use Twitter to announce Black Ops and special agent meetings to be held at local Pizza Huts (the CIA is switching from Dominoes to Pizza Hut in light of the Iranian incident earlier this year).
you're an idiot!
And you have no sense of humor

When did you get access to a computer PFC Manning?
They put one in my cell
Military Intelligence is an oxymoron.
