THE NORTH ATLANTIC ALLIANCE TRANSFORMATION AND THE INTELLIGENCE ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: NATO should permanently adapt to the current security environment and the future challenges. In this context, the paper mainly addresses intelligence as one of the areas that undergoes transformation. Thus it is shown that NATO intelligence doctrine and procedures have been revised to meet the requirements specific to small scale interventions and counterinsurgency operations, in a complex operational environment. Moreover, some of the factors that influence the intelligence capability are presented. The comprehensive approach is mentioned as a solution to institutionalise the relationship between military structures and non-military actors in the joint operational environment, which also requires intelligence capabilities able to adapt to various specialty areas so as to ensure optimum communication channels with the partners from the civil environment.
