Domestic Threat Intelligence Management (DTIM) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249407430)

This thesis examines DTIM at the US Army installation level. It reviews the Army's view of domestic threat based on current doctrine, as well as the joint view of terrorism as the predominate threat. It suggests a revised approach that fuses both Army and joint sources by combining the USACIDC's criminal categories with joint terrorism threat indicators. This model envisions threat as a hierarchy of seven criminal categories or threat groups ranging along a spectrum from terrorists to unsophisticated criminals. This approach accommodates the most dangerous threat scenario as well as focusing on a range of progressively more likely threat scenarios. The thesis also examines current legal guidance for conducting DTIM. Although the Army is generally prohibited from conducting activities that may pervade civil law enforcement, there are narrow exceptions provided for activities that support a military nexus. As such, DTIM may be permitted in those situations with a clearly defined nexus. Research suggests, however, a need for establishing a more definitive and systematic process for determining this nexus. Conclusions and recommendations are provided for developing DTIM to improve installation counterthreat measures. Hopefully, this thesis provides additional insight toward this goal and generates new ideas and areas for future research.
