Ryan, Terry. "Committing to a Future of ISR Supremacy." American Intelligence Journal 21, nos. 1 & 2 (Spring 2002): 7-16.
"Over the past ten years, our nation's ability to conduct global Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations has significantly improved." The Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense "have a window of opportunity over the next five years to build capabilities that will ensure the U.S. has unequivocal information superiority over adversaries.... The biggest challenge for DoD and IC will be to properly prioritize investments and walk away now[] from marginal performing systems."

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's plan to create a new post, undersecretary of defense for intelligence, picks up a 10-year-old idea that ... now appears on the verge of gaining congressional approval.... Rich Haver,... Rumsfeld's special assistant for intelligence, is the favorite to get the job."

A decision to again pursue an airborne comint project has been "made after months of deliberations at the Pentagon.... The predicament started with the cancellation of BAE Systems' low-band subsystem (LBSS) program last year, after the Pentagon determined that the project, which has encountered serious development problems, couldn't be salvaged. But military users insisted they still needed such a capability to upgrade the Air Force's RC-135 Rivet Joint, U-2 and Global Hawk and the Navy's EP-3E, and to equip the Army's future Aerial Common Sensor."

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's decision to create an undersecretary of defense for military intelligence is being criticized by lawmakers and analysts, who say it is aimed at heading off a more fundamental reorganization of the intelligence system and is a potential challenge to Director of Central Intelligence George J. Tenet."

Jehl, Douglas, and Eric Schmitt. "Pentagon Seeks to Expand Role in Intelligence-Collecting." New York Times, 19 Dec. 2004. [http://www.nytimes.com]
According to Defense Department officials, a Pentagon team led by Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, a deputy under secretary of defense, "is drawing up a plan that would give the military a more prominent role in intelligence-collection operations..., including missions aimed at terrorist groups and those involved in weapons proliferation." The proposal "calls for a major expansion of human intelligence,... both within the military services and the Defense Intelligence Agency, including more missions aimed at acquiring specific information sought by policy makers. The proposal is the latest chapter in the fierce and long-running rivalry between the Pentagon and the C.I.A. for dominance over intelligence collection."
