[22 January 2022] Earlier this month, the European Intelligence Academy, launched a new and innovative internship program, in collaboration with its transatlantic partners. The program operates under the direction of the Chanticleer Intelligence Brief (CIB) and the Intelligence Operations Command Center (IOCC) at Coastal Carolina University in the United States.
This new internship consists of six dedicated Critical Mission Centers (CMCs). Each CMC is headed by a CMC Director. These directors supervise teams of Senior Analysts, who serve as CMC Support Officers. Each week, CMC personnel are tasked with monitoring a variety of ongoing developments of international significance, and meet regularly to discuss relevant developments and to constructively critique each other’s analyses. These topics change in real time, in accordance with the needs of the decision-maker, as well as political, social and economic crises occurring around the world.
Select number of finished intelligence products that stem from this collaborative project go through a process of declassification. Once that takes place, these intelligence products then become freely available on the Global Watch center website of the European Intelligence Academy. The Global Watch website already hosts high-quality content on a variety of topics, including ongoing developments in the Turkish economy, the war in Yemen, the political crises in Sudan and Kazakhstan, as well as China’s economic performance. Make sure to bookmark the Global Watch center website and monitor it regularly, as content will continue to be added on a weekly basis.
The European Intelligence Academy wishes to thank our CIB and IOCC partners at Coastal Carolina University. We look forward to continuing to support the impressive work of these promising young analysts-in-training. [EIA]
