Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page overview of the importance of the speedy collection and dissemination of information in
military operations. The author cautions, however, that speed can be both a negative and a positive factor in tactical planning and execution.
While speed is critical, information must be thoroughly analyzed, sometimes at multiple levels, prior to deciding an appropriate direction of
action. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Speed is a critical factor in practically every aspect of combat. It is particularly important, however, in relation to tactical intelligence. Tactical intelligence involves communication between the naval,
air, and ground troops; communication that conveys critical information about enemy location, movement, weaponry and potential strengths and weaknesses. This communication can be used to both plan and to
execute attacks and/or counterdefenses. Tactical intelligence is also a critical component of military planning. Whether intelligence is being use in tactical execution or planning, however, speed in information
dissemination is of the essence. The first step in the speedy dissemination of information is the efficient gathering of that information. Information
is gleaned through a variety of reconnaissance activities. Consider, for example, the reconnaissance value of the U-2 aircraft (an aircraft commonly known as the "Dragon Lady"). The single
seat U-2 made its first flight in 1955. Primarily in the interest of perfecting the accuracy and speed with which it could collect reconnaissance information, however, the U-2 has
undergone numerous upgrades since that initial flight. Global Aircraft (2004) reports that by 1967 the size of the U-2 had increased by forty percent, by 1981 the TR-1A (a
tactical reconnaissance version) was delivered to the U.S. Airforce and by 1992 all TR-1s and U-2s were designated U-2Rs. Subsequently, complete engine replacements occurred in all U-2Rs and they
were designated U-2S/TU-2S (Global Aircraft). The U-2 is, and has been, one of the most formidable planes in our military fleet. It has, in fact, performed many critical
missions over the years. These include such historical events as the 1962 photographic reconnaissance of the Soviets installing missiles in Cuba as well as accomplishments in Desert Storm and
