Interagency Intelligence Assessment
For the Director of National intelligence to address the shootings that occur in Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York City, he is supposed to include other partners who would provide more information regarding any possible attacks from air, sea, or ground. As an official of the FBI, I would require input from various sources, as discussed below.
Army Cyber Command
The increasing use of technology has been used as an opportunity by terrorists to undertake their activities. To acquire adequate information regarding any likely attack that can be instigated through the internet, I would require the input of Army Cyber Command. The US Army Cyber Command conducts and integrates various cyberspace operations. The command uses electronic warfare and ensures freedom of action besides establishing friendly forces within the cyber domain. The Army Cyber Command will need to provide any information that comes from sources that may be associated with terrorism, or that is threatening to the US public.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
The shootings may also take place through the collaboration of air and ground attackers. This means that the input of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will be required. At the global level, NASA has made major contributions, including the development of GPS, space access, and remote sensing. I would expect NASA to provide adequate information regarding the activities happening in space and which can have adverse effects on the US citizens.
Naval Sea Systems
The FBI will involve the Naval Sea Systems since it will provide the necessary support to the US Navy fleet and establish effective combat systems to deal with enemies that can use the sea. The Naval Sea Systems will provide information regarding the suspicious operations happening within the sea (Amadeo, 2019). Other Navy systems that I would seek further support include the Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Naval Engineering Command.
Situation Assessment
According to the FBI, the number of reported incidents of vandalism that targets Mosques and Islamic Centers is increasing. The shootings took place during the night when most of the stores owned by established businessmen are closed. The number of reported incidents in the US may increase if timely interventions are not adopted. The series of shootings occurring in various states do not only result in deaths, but they will negatively impact the country’s economy.
Key Judgments
The Army Cyber Command will be evaluated by the quality and quantity of information that will be used by the FBI to deal with the high number of shootings. On the other hand, NASA will be judged by the amount of information that it provides regarding the threats that are facing the US from the space. The Naval Sea Systems will be evaluated based on the support that it provides to the US Army as well as the effectiveness of the combat systems.
Recommendations
One of the recommendations is for these agencies to work as a team since enemies look for any loophole within the security agencies to undertake their activities. In addition, the security agencies should not be buyers of foreign influence. US security and political institutions are the main targets of foreign influence operations. The foreign influence may undermine the confidence of US citizens through creating divisions and disharmony among people.
