Citizen S2: Building an Intelligence Shop - A Primer

[@TheSaint135]

A year's worth of Intel training condensed in one hour, I can't begin to thank you for the tremendous value that this adds to the civilian prepping community. Thank you, sir.

[@CB-vt3mx]

Many years ago, when the Army still had steel pots and jeeps, I got detailed out of my infantry platoon to go work in S2 for a year. I learned two things really fast. First, the actual S2 needs proper comms--not just with the S3, but with scouts, recon, higher, and adjacent organizations, and sources from "outside" the group. Not just internet and radios, but secure voice, secure data, and most importantly, relationships with everyone. Intelligence is not just contextual work, but relationship based. Second, I learned that "processing" information is not enough. The whole shop has to be able to receive information, publish or forward to the right folks, AND understand the information and see both the challenges and opportunities it may present. In other words, one can not just be an analyst, one also needs to have a deep understanding of the operations and tactics of both your own organization and others. S2 tended to think in terms of threat analysis, but I watched the S2 get hammered daily in the TOC for not providing both potential threat "most likely actions" but also friendly "most likely actions" to the S3. ' Also, do not forget technical assessment and analysis. Someone has to be able to look at a new piece of gear or equipment that comes into possession and understand both how it works, and how it may affect both threat and friendly actions. We had a 4 person shop and if we had 8 personnel, sometimes that would not have been enough. And that is at battalion level in a light infantry unit. A heavier, and more mobile organization has a far larger AOR and AOI to cover.

[@CB-vt3mx]

Another lesson, if the S2 and S3 cannot work together seamlessly--nothing else works. Ops without intel is a coin flipping exercise and Intel without Ops is a guessing game.

[@mathewfitzpatrick5645]

Here's my 2 minute summary of this 1hr video, colored by my (unfounded) opinions on it: There are 4 sets of responsibilities on the team 1: Analyst, the Brainiac He sees what's going on and then makes sure everybody can understand it. 2: Battle tracker, the Eye of Sauron: Keeps the battle tracker (think CoD style minimap) as up to date as possible, and keep a log of has previously happened. 3. Manager, Buffer Daddy: The mostly people to tell everybody else what the Intel shop has figured out. The buffer between the S2 shop and everybody else. Also backfills a lot of important but not immediate reports. 4. Future Ops, Oracle: The guy trying to figure out was is GOING TO happen, and mostly to be out there collecting their own data. Adjust to team size, divy out responsibilities in order of listing. Try not to have too many more than 4 people (per team), if you have 8 people or more set up shifts of 4 people. Remember: this is a volunteer force, plan around people, and all stardard leadership principles apply more so than in a military setting.

[@Shin_Lona]

This is a pretty good synopsis. I'll add my own thoughts - see if you would agree with my assessment. Overall, the video was primarily a breakdown of the roles from a military setting. It isn't really clear exactly how it would translate to a civilian scenario. However, this isn't simply due to the variability in roles depending on the team size. I think the overall objective hasn't been defined for the citizenry. An Intel unit, ultimately, has a larger mission. Information is being gathered for a reason - there is a purpose. It's hard to justify all this just to give Ethel down the street a PowerPoint slide that won't make any sense to the average normie. I kind of envision an operational model that has two different modes. The first is just passive monitoring of the routine, day to day situation. The second is full deployment in response to an incident. Things are pretty uneventful (boring) where I'm at... not that it's a bad thing. Normally, the first 2 positions will be the Senior / Junior Analyst combo, but they will work independently, periodically comparing notes. Since we don't have all of the fancy DARPA satellites, we don't really have a reason for #2 to be stuck in front of a screen all day. In reality, we would have radios on in the background while we're doing stuff around the house and digging into stuff on social media on occasion. Best case scenario, if you hand a decent number of people involved in the community - just paying attention to what's going on - they could contact the team if they encounter anything unusual, so we could look into it. If you already have channels in place, information may as well travel in both directions. I like the idea of having a dedicated PR guy as member 3, but I think as a manager, it would be better served as more of a community organizer and not have much to do at an operational level. Their main role is dealing with the network of families and coordinating various events. Considering it will probably be tough to get a full roster anyhow, you really just need someone connected to the outside world that is loosely affiliated with your data collection. They need to understand what is being presented, so they can coordinate the necessary actions by the HOA and the Elks Lodge, etc. I would consider the 4th person more of a field agent that's out and about collecting HumInt... if they happen to have a drone... that's sick. Though, it would be more beneficial if they were just a sociable person with a bunch of contacts around town. Again, it would be optimal if this person is filling multiple roles. Ideally, this would be the comms guy if you had a team of operators that you were working with. Then if shit pops off, you can coordinate with them if necessary. At that point, the military framework becomes much more relatable. Even in non-combat scenarios - say a flood or something. Being able to act as HQ and relay comms to a response team that's going around by boat to rescue people. This just ties back into my original point - you kinda need some greater objective. If you're not really doing anything with the Intel you're gathering, you're collecting it just to collect it. You might as well be out there catching Pokemon. You don't really need a dedicated Intel operation unless there is a demand for it. If the situation doesn't really call for it, it's probably best to try to gain some proficiency in each of the 4 roles, so you can fill them if and when the need arises.

[@Ostalgie658]

From my personal experience, since my town was flooded in 2017, yeah 90% of your "civil defense force" job is going to be helping your family and maybe (if you care enough) your neighbors with things like food, power, shelter etc. with only like 10% or less being standing outside with your rifle to scare off the random hecklers that always appear after such events to either scam someone or steal their stuff.

[@TheNextGreatApe]

It's amazing how much a proper field intelligence operation can contribute. A historical note - A friend of mine's father was in the 101st Airborne (501st) in WWII and was assigned to an S2 unit after jumping into Holland on D-day. They went on constant recon patrols and one of his primary jobs was recovering the "Soldbuch", that little booklet that each German soldier was required to carry. It recorded all his unit assignments and payment locations, and the S2 units used these to reconstruct German movements. I'll always remember him telling me that one of the big reasons the Germans lost the war was all the intelligence they unwittingly provided in those little booklets.

[@Longstorie]

I am in a large 55+ community, in the desert, 49 miles from the open AZ/Mexico border. Bad stuff happening out here yet my neighbors tend to have their eyes wide shut. Very difficult to get people to even recognize the need for a community plan to defend ourselves. I started with a case of SUTS3 SMARTBOOKS distributed to the few I could get interested. We have some amazing knowledge, skills & abilities here, but knocking off years of cobwebs from retirement, golf, pickleball, poolside sun basking and age related atrophy has been a herculean task. I am going to look closer at your intel structure and getting briefings out to these people. They dont realize it, but we are easy prey when the situation heads south. Intel briefings might help bring them around. I want us to go down fighting albeit it wont be in the shade😅 Appreciate all you do - keep it coming. Wish us luck. Thank you 💜🙏💜

[@desertstonestudio3315]

Awesome work. I'm in the four corners area. I work graveyards. I've seen MS13, Cartel, Coyotes and probably worse. We need more people like you. It's not going to get any better. Unfortunately I'm kinda a one man show right now but I keep my eyes and ears open, have good relations with local law enforcement and am working on upgrading my radio coms. ( Police, EMS, ECT are moving to encrypted digital at 800mhz. Just some minor upgrades and I should be able to pick up those transmissions.) in addition I have a digital library of everything from Bushcraft to military operations. I don't know many people interested in having copies or to connect with.

[@bendeleted9155]

You are so right about coms being a priority. Here's an idea for some folks who are already interested in radio and don't have an excuse to buy a bunch of radio stuff. I already had a bunch of short range radios (FRS/GMRS) because I would hand them out to volunteers on events I used to be involved in. So now they are going to be handouts to my neighbors. I bought HF/VHF/UHF equipment and will add to it CB and Marine. I already have a scanner with a comprehensive list, including AIR and local utilities. If the internet is down, and media news is the "approved" news, I can still pull information from afar and disseminate it locally. If local internet bandwidth is just limited, then we can have individuals take pieces of things to monitor online and report in. If power is down for most people, we can limit talking on the radio to on-the-hour, etc. (edit: premature send😂)

You can get good exposure to this type thing in many county emergency management offices. Some even pay for advanced training. Even dispatch gets pretty good experience (and usually training from near zero KSAs). During any event - even training exercises - an EOC is good practice. It will blur the lines, between S2, S3, and S4 usually, but it is real life experience accessible without enlistment. If you go into it to intentionally learn, it will pay off. If nothing else you will learn how to gather and pass on information effectively.

[@Sophistry0001]

If one were to start practicing this stuff as a one-man-band, what would be the place to really start? Assuming one has full time employment, family, kids, online college classes, etc. It seems like preparing a weekly GRINTSUM wouldn't require you to be glued to your PC at every waking hour. Unlike grabbing your rifle to patrol your neighborhood, building intel is something you can actually practice in real life here and now before things get "bad enough"

We wanted to abolish the Police Departments to end slavery but our written laws had no binding against the laws of the British Empire because we did not have a currency issuance of our own separate from theirs. The Police authorities worked to prevent us from issuing our own currency from the Office of the Presidency which would have been the only way our votes could have decided our own laws. Then on December 24th 1913 President Woodrow Wilson betrayed his Oath to the United States Constitution committing the very crime of treason it warned against, a crime no one can prosecute. While the banks issue the currency of these other people they have employer status above all job positions and we the people are all bound to their laws by this currency we use.

Christian laws are simply the laws everyone equally decide upon with their votes which can only happen by issuing a currency unique to your country alone separate from other countries from the office created to be the Highest Office of the Land. At that time a country will become an empire separate from other empires. Satan's Laws are passed when currency is issued any other way. Currency itself can be anything printed upon paper as it only binds all people to obey the laws of the Office that issues it. This Office then establishes its own values upon everything else from gold to oil to land and people. When currency is issued by the Office of the Presidency in this way the people of the land become the greatest treasure of the land and everyone is empowered equally under the laws passed. The moment a currency begins being issued it pulls all people to obey whether they want to or not. Without a currency issuance the written laws have no binding and are rendered Null and Void. Satan's Laws depend upon the continued issuance of the currency. Looking across the earth today you see that the currency that began being issued December 24th 1913 is issued and is transacted as currency from America to Russia to China meaning that 1 group of people have employer status above all job positions in each of these countries..

Thank you so much S2 I am so thankful we are all together in this. Like minded guys like yourself are very important to our survival. We are in a state of psychological warfare/5th gen events we don’t even see. No media attention, god forbid you Notice(oy vey) regardless, the masses are slowly awakening to the certain ethnicity that cracks the financial whip upon us. Every dog has its day,and ours is nigh.

Street level intelligence: keep eyes on enemy and use runners. Pick your toughest and smart person to lead. Always follow up with more; intel and attacks. Victory goes to the swift and determined. Everything has become overwhelmingly integrated and complex so keep it simple. The guerrillas strength is in rapid mobility, simplicity and surprise, outlast a bigger opponent and reuse or destruct resources as appropriate. Be aware of location transmitter devices. My two cents, good luck patriots.

Dude I’ve got to use that, “don’t let him touch anything, put him over there and have him lick the window” dang that is some funny 🫏💩

We need intel advice for small, rural towns that don't even have police departments. For example, the town 45min down the road has a bus load of H. migrants dropped off. How can we look for signs that an NGO has designs on our community, next? What can we do to get ahead of something like that? How can we approach our city leadership with this intel without coming across as xenophobic or a conspiracy nut???? This is the info people desperately need.

Years ago There was this one intelligence brief for the state that had a section with "a novel attempt at intelligence gathering." So I made a post repeating that, with my ass after it just a few words, then took a resume to the offices that they "did not" have in the state. Went to the door no answer, used painters' tape to the large envelope, with RESUME and my name on it and "a novel attempt at intelligence gathering" on it. Then added will be in the area till 5. by 130 I was in an interview at an outdoor restaurant. Then I had state troopers showing up to flee markets, kids' birthday parties, a park with a family reunion, and left a note on the cars "Hook, Hook!" Then the last one, "Come on guys you are looking like Keystone cops, Hook Hook!" Then again, we had an Airforce public affairs officer, two people that worked in intelligence a SEAL, two SF in the mix along with a few elected officials. Yep, novel attempt at intelligence gathering, my ass!

Do you have any thoughts about using AI tools to automate some of the busy work associated with this work?

Do you use SDR and antenna to download GOES weather satellite data to see what weather is coming if the internet is out?

[@Robert-cd5zr]

For those who don't know, it's a free weather imaging broadcast anyone can tap into if you have an SDR dongle, notch filter and appropriate antenna. GOES satellites are geostationary so once you get your antenna pointed it can remain in place. You can DIY an antenna but there are also kits available for about $100 (if you already have the SDR dongle) that include a dish and filter. NOAA satellite data can also be downloaded but it's a little more involved as they move across the sky and are polarized so you're looking at a helical antenna that has to track plus software to predict a pass.

I'm going to be an off grid militant farmer/shepard. I'm Airborne Infantry but old, broke and nasty. Leave me alone... Thank you, sir.

I can't help but think that if we can make the ghost net super widespread this would seriously help the United States become so much more antifragile

Oh fuck yeah

What about targeting? Who looks after targeting for influence?

[@MrJperk82]

Primary evidence, chain of custody. Most of it starts there.

[@liamsnyder6090]

Hey S2, any book/reading recommendations for this and similar topics?
