Better equipping reserve military intelligence analyst to meet the needs of the commander by championing a process-driven training model.

Would reserve intelligence analyst's benefit from a method of analysis that concentrates on learning integrated analytical processes over creating products independent of operational and environmental factors? Given today's dynamic operational environment, intelligence analysts need to be able to rapidly adapt to adequately build the commander's understanding and visualization. Providing thoughtful analysis is essential to creating federated products that incorporate multiple intelligence disciplines to answer the commander's intelligence requirements. In a time-constrained training setting, reserve analysts strive to retain technical and analytical proficiency. Implementing a process-driven model that focuses on integrated analysis and incorporates individual learning techniques offers a better option for building expertise, improving proficiency, increasing retention and preventing atrophy of perishable skills. This paper offers a feasible option for training military intelligence reserve analysts at the unit level by introducing a process-driven model to encourage collaboration and coordination across disciplines and organizations.
