You are an intelligence analyst for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) assigned to the Counterintelligence (CI)
Division. The FBI’s CI Division has been involved in the field
of CI for decades. During this period, the CI division has
conducted thousands of CI investigations, many of which have
had a major impact on the history and national security of the
United States. It is important as an intelligence analyst with the
CI Division to have a clear understanding of these cases and to
learn from both its past CI successes and failures.
You have been asked by your supervisor to research major
espionage cases to produce an intelligence assessment from a
historical perspective that will help to recognize anomalies that
might indicate the presence of espionage and assist in the
neutralization process in the future.
Assignment Guidelines
For this assignment, you must write a counterintelligence case
study, approximately 750–1,000 words in length, on one of the
following major espionage cases:
Robert P. Hanssen
Aldrich H. Ames
Ana B. Montes
John A. Walker

Individual Project #2
You are an intelligence analyst for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) assigned to the Counterintelligence (CI)
Division. You have been embedded on the Kartesia Country
Team and are responsible for producing a counterintelligence
assessment to forecast the potential counterintelligence threat
posed by Kartesia.
For many years, Kartesia and the United States have been
political and economic adversaries. Kartesia, which is led by an
oppressive dictatorship, has long feared that the United States
will initiate military action against it to topple the regime and
institute a democratic form of government. Although Kartesia's
ability to engage the United States in traditional warfare is

3. limited, it has a very well developed and sophisticated
intelligence apparatus that it deploys in the United States, as
well as against the U.S. presence within Kartesia in other third
world countries. The Kartesia Intelligence Services (KIS) also
heavily target antiregime elements in the United States, most of
which exist within several large Kartesian émigré communities
located throughout the country. Kartesia also has a long history
of supporting other groups and countries that are hostile to the
United States, including providing financial and logistical
support to terrorist groups.
The U.S. intelligence community (USIC) has designated
Kartesia a high-priority target, as is reflected in the National
Intelligence Priorities Framework (NIPF). FBI resources
dedicated to countering the intelligence activities of Kartesia in
the United States are also in a position to fill these broader
USIC requirements. One topic of particular concern to the USIC
is whether Kartesia has a program to develop weapons of mass
destruction (WMD), and if so, what its plans, capabilities, and
intentions are.
For this assignment, you must write a paper of 750–1,000 words
discussing how U.S. counterintelligence will be used to counter
the potential threat from Kartesia.
Assignment Guidelines
In a paper of 750–1,000 words, address the following:
What is the purpose of the National Intelligence Priorities
Framework (NIPF)? Explain.
How do counterintelligence professionals utilize the NIPF?
Explain.
How does the FBI Counterintelligence Division utilize the steps
of the intelligence cycle to validate threats and initiate
counterintelligence assessments? Explain.
Be sure to address each of the 6 phases of the intelligence cycle.
How will counterintelligence be used to counter the potential
threat from Kartesia? Explain.
Compile your responses in your final paper, and submit the file
to your instructor.

4. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
Individual Project #3
You are a counterintelligence officer for the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) assigned to the Critical Technology
Protection Division. Your division is responsible for providing
counterintelligence support to research, development, and
acquisition (RDA) missions. To accomplish this mission, your
team has been asked to provide a counterintelligence threat
briefing to a major defense contractor responsible for the
research and development of critical U.S. defense technology.
The purpose of this report is to help prevent foreign threats
from acquiring U.S. critical program information to exploit and
degrade its combat effectiveness and technical superiority.
Group Portion (1)
For this assignment, using the Small Group Discussion Board,
you must review and discuss counterintelligence collection as
well as the current list of U.S. critical technologies with your
group.
As a group, do the following:
Discuss counterintelligence collection methods.
Consider sources, techniques, and common operating pictures.
Examine the list of U.S. critical technologies.
A current list of critical technologies can be found within your
Phase 3 Web resource titled
Military Critical Technologies List
.
Come to a group consensus, and select 1 technology from the
list that will be examined in this assignment from a
counterintelligence perspective.
Individual Portion
Once your group has chosen a piece of critical technology, each
member of the group must prepare a counterintelligence threat
assessment of 800–1,000 words about the group's selected
technology.
Using the information from the course materials, the textbook,
outside research, and the small group discussion, provide a

5. threat assessment introduction on counterintelligence collection.
What methods and techniques are used in counterintelligence
collection? Explain.
What are common sources for counterintelligence? Explain.
Using the information from the course materials, the textbook,
outside research, and the small group discussion, draft the body
of your counterintelligence threat assessment about the selected
technology. The assessment should include the following
sections:
A description and brief summary of the technology
Applications for which the technology is used
Which organizations use this piece of technology
Who develops or manufactures this technology
Which foreign adversaries are potentially interested in this
technology
Methods this adversary may use to acquire this technology
Implications if this technology were to be compromised
Possible vulnerabilities for protecting this technology
Recommendations to safeguard this technology
Compile your responses in your final individual threat
assessment, and submit the file.
Group Portion (2)
For the second group portion of this assignment, you must
discuss, as a group, your findings from your threat assessment
and develop a final collective counterintelligence threat briefing
for the critical technology your group has chosen.
Evaluate the individual threat assessments of your group
members.
Confer with your group, and select the strongest elements of the
individual assessments.
There must be at least 1 section used from each group member.
Determine, as a group, how the final document will be
formatted, organized, and compiled.
Complete the final collective threat assessment according to the
agreed-upon guidelines, and submit the file to your instructor.
Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
