Fixing Intel: A Blueprint for Making Intelligence Relevant in Afghanistan – Major General Michael T. Flynn, Captain
Matt Pottinger, Paul D. Batchelor
This report critically examines the relevance of the U.S. intelligence community to the counterinsurgency strategy in
Afghanistan. The authors - Major General Michael T. Flynn, Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence in Afghanistan; his
advisor Captain Matt Pottinger; and Paul Batchelor, Senior Advisor for Civilian/Military Integrations at ISAF - argue
that because the United States has focused the overwhelming majority of collection efforts and analytical brainpower
on insurgent groups, the intelligence apparatus still finds itself unable to answer fundamental questions about the
environment in which U.S. and allied forces operate in and the people they are trying to protect and persuade.
