INTEGRATED INTELLIGENCE

Week 6 Discussion 1

The role of our organization in Intelligence and Counterterrorism is to offer recovery efforts for a disaster in order to mitigate the effect of terror attacks that has occurred. It is different in its own way in that it puts in a lot of effort by providing support to the affected as well as providing the local and state government with specialized information on various fields (Berntsen, 2008). I am aware of the role of the agency as its primary role is to coordinate the response of the disaster that has occurred in order to offer relief to local and state authority resources. Intelligence and counterintelligence are important to Homeland Security in that it helps in prevention of impending terror attack that saves the lives of the civilian and the state at large (Berntsen, 2008). This is important because they act on intelligence information that can be considered to be highly secretive thus it is scarce.

Week 6 Discussion 2

The biggest concern of nuclear and chemical as weapons of mass destruction is the significant effect it has as it can kill thousands and destroy all man-made structures. The biological used is harmful to humans as it destroys the natural structure and the biosphere that most human relates to (Kort, 2010). As a leader of a terrorist attack, the constraining factors of the weapons are the have that can last for years especially in the nuclear case and chemical explosive. Another constraining factor is the evolution of the weapons. The constraints are a deterrent as in the evolution because the super power states have been able to come up with more superior weapons that can easily suppress what the terror group is using (Kort, 2010). The effects of the weapons can last for many years which also affect the terror group thus resulting to ineffectiveness.
