As described in the Syllabus, conduct a critique of a Denial and Deception operation of your choice. This critique will be your final Assignment. Set the stage of the situation and identify: the major players; their interests and objectives; the reason for deciding upon Denial and Deception; the objectives of the effort; the mechanics of the effort; their effects on the situation; and their effects on the overall situation. Finally, provide your detailed analytic judgment/critique as the premise/main point of the summary.
The critique of the operations themselves, your evaluation of the operation, MUST form the premise/thesis of this summary. It is not sufficient to simply state that either the operation was a success or not. Your main point/premise of the critique must be your detailed and specific bottom-line analytic judgment about the operation itself.
You can use the M&A approach and/or you can use the principles of deception that we have covered earlier in class to help you dissect the operation and develop your own ideas. Whatever your approach to your critique, it must be structured and evaluative.
The operation you choose should fit into the intelligence/national security/covert action/law enforcement field of study (the field of study for this course).
YOU MUST WRITE YOUR CRITIQUE ON THE TOPIC SELECTED EARLIER IN CLASS.
