The paper begins with definitions of HUMINT, a consideration of the place of HUMINT in the future security environment, and current HUMINT capabilities and doctrine, both civilian and military. It then focuses on those functions which an organic HUMINT capability could perform, why they would satisfy service unique requirements currently going unfilled, and how the capability may best be implemented. The paper concludes that Air Force HUMINT should assign trained, experienced collectors to Information Operations Detachments collocated with air component commands (numbered air forces and major commands). During peacetime, these personnel would debrief Service personnel on Air Force-unique requirements. During war or conflict, they would deploy the air component to conduct debriefings; enemy prisoner interrogations; collection management; theater coordination; and other required activities in support of the commander, Air Force Forces. Resulting intelligence information would be available to the national Intelligence Community, Service, and joint military forces.
