Collection and analysis of foreign intelligence is, and will continue to be, a vital component of U.S. national security strategy. However, there is significant debate regarding whether our existing intelligence apparatus can sufficiently transform itself to meet the demands of the 21st century. The Department of Defense (DoD) has a vested interest in this debate - both as a customer and as a major supplier - because the goals of the National Military Strategy cannot be achieved in the absence of a robust foreign intelligence apparatus. This task force first examined the anticipated 2lst century threat environment, focusing on how the threats and adversaries are changing in the post-Cold War era. We then worked to characterize future intelligence customers' needs, again emphasizing how the dynamic global security environment is altering both needs and expectations. Finally, we formulated a top-level opinion of the strategic posture of today's Intelligence Community (IC) and its ability to meet the needs of its primary DoD customers - with particular emphasis on the warfighter. Our recommendations are intended to better position the IC to meet the evolving demands of its diverse customer base.

Globalization-the integration of the political, economic and cultural activities of geographically and/or nationally separated peoples-is not a discernible event or challenge, is not new, but it is accelerating. More importantly, globalization is largely irresistible. Thus, globalization is not a policy option, but a fact to which policymakers must adapt. Globalization has accelerated as a result of many positive factors, the most notable of which include: the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War; the spread of capitalism and free trade; more rapid and global capital flows and more liberal financial markets; the liberalization of communications; international academic and scientific collaboration; and faster and more efficient forms of transportation. At the core of accelerated global integration-at once its principal cause and consequence-is the information revolution, which is knocking down once-formidable barriers of physical distance, blurring national boundaries and creating cross-border communities of all types.
