Port, M. (2019). The joint intelligence center. An exploratory study of military intelligence operations in the modern-day fight against asymmetric threat, 1-61. Retrieved from https://asu-ir.tdl.org/bitstream/handle/2346.1/30932/PORT-THESIS-2019.pdf?sequence=1
In this journal, Port outlines the feasibility of the joint intelligence center incepted by the US intelligence community. He points out that the joint intelligence center brings together all the bodies within the United States concerned with espionage activities for the country. Through this, the available national security resources and assets related to military intelligence are adequately utilized to ensure maximum gains for the country. This is achieved through better coordination and integration between the united state’s intelligence community and the military intelligence via the processes of reach back intelligence and joint intelligence. However, Port noted that some points of weaknesses still hamper the efficiency and effectiveness of the joint intelligence center. These include some adopted doctrines and organization structure. Port has illustrated how far the United States intelligence operations have evolved over the years from independent intelligence bodies acting unilaterally to achieve their objectives and goals of keeping the country safe to setting up a joint intelligence center.
