Description
Richard H. Shultz Jr.'s Transforming US Intelligence for Irregular War explores the innovative approach taken by Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq during the early 2000s. In response to the unique threat posed by al-Qaeda in Iraq, TF 714 developed a new intelligence capacity to operate within the networks of its adversary.
The book provides a detailed account of how this intelligence capacity was used to dismantle AQI's secret networks and ultimately destroy its networked infrastructure. Shultz also examines the methods and practices that were altered by TF 714 to suppress AQI's growing insurgency, highlighting the importance of intelligence in modern warfare.
