Shaping the Plan for Operation Iraqi Freedom (Military Research Paper) (Military Research Papers) (Military Research Papers)

Hooker, as the senior intelligence analyst for Iraq at US Central Command, has been "the primary analytic support to military planning for Iraq contingencies." In this monograph, he examines the role that intelligence analysis played in the military strategy for the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. He discusses the process of producing intelligence assessments of Iraq's options in the face of conflict assessments that helped guide CENTCOM's planning of operations and assesses how closely they matched the eventual realities of Iraqi behavior and the possible reasons for errors identified.
