Organizing Intelligence for Counterinsurgency
Organizando Inteligência para Contra-insurgência
EFFECTIVE, ACCURATE, AND TIMELY intelligence is essential to conducting any form of warfare, including counterinsurgency operations, because the ultimate success or failure of the mission depends on the effectiveness of the intelligence effort. A inteligência EFICAZ, PRECISA E OPORTUNA é essencial para a condução de qualquer forma de guerra, incluindo operações de contra-insurgência, porque o sucesso ou fracasso final da missão depende da eficácia do esforço de inteligência.
The function of intelligence in counterinsurgency is to
facilitate an understanding of the populace, the host nation, the operational
environment, and the insurgents so that commanders may address the issues
driving the insurgency. A função da inteligência na contra-insurgência é facilitar a compreensão da população, da nação anfitriã, do ambiente operacional e dos insurgentes, para que os comandantes possam abordar as questões que impulsionam a insurgência.
Insurgencies, however, are notoriously difficult to evaluate. As insurgências, no entanto, são notoriamente difíceis de avaliar.
The organization of the standard military intelligence system, developed for major theater warfare rather than counterinsurgency, compounds the difficulty. A organização do sistema padrão de inteligência militar, desenvolvido para grandes operações de guerra e não para a contra-insurgência, agrava a dificuldade.
Intelligence systems and personnel must adapt to the challenges of a counterinsurgency environment to provide commanders the intelligence they require. Os sistemas e o pessoal de inteligência devem adaptar-se aos desafios de um ambiente de contra-insurgência para fornecer aos comandantes a informação de que necessitam.
This is a "best practice" in counterinsurgency, without which counterinsurgency efforts will likely fail. Esta é uma “melhor prática” em contra-insurgência, sem a qual os esforços de contra-insurgência provavelmente fracassarão.

❑ TEXTO: Read the text below observing what the underlined words in bold refer to.
Seriously, I do
believe that ships have "souls"; their soul is made up of all the
blood, sweat, and tears that everyone who serves on the ship gives to her,
and from the little pieces of themselves that every crew
member leaves behind, be it their hopes, fears, or dreams. I've left part of my
soul on each of the ships that I've served on, but have also taken some of
their personalities with HLe, so I think it's a good trade.
(http:llbubbleheads.blogspot.com/2005/02/bad-luck-boats.html)
❑ TRADUÇÃO-TEXTO:
Sério, acredito que os navios têm “almas”; sua alma é feita de todo o sangue, suor e lágrimas que todos que servem no navio lhe dão e dos pedacinhos de si mesmos que cada tripulante deixa para trás, sejam esperanças, medos ou sonhos. Deixei parte da minha alma em cada um dos navios em que servi, mas também levei algumas de suas personalidades com HLe, então acho que é uma boa troca.

For when we have faced down impossible odds, when we've
been told we're not ready or that we shouldn't try or that we can't,
generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the
spirit of a people: Yes, we can. Yes, we can. It was whispered by
slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the
darkest of nights: Yes, we can. It was sung by immigrants as
they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an
unforgiving wilderness: Yes, we can.
