⚫ CLANDESTINE COMMUNICATION – the art of making contact or communication between government agents
(specially between agent handlers and action agents) and other intelligence personnel working within the circle
of the specific mission called clandestine network.
SUMMARY: The Intelligence Community should train their personnel in using tradecraft dogmatically as a set of roles.
It will create inherent understanding to the fundamentals of using tradecraft by improving, adapting to new trends and
overcoming the fear against opponents by any side.
INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONAL CYCLE (IOC)
Intelligence Operational Cycle – the chronological development of collection activities from the time of basic
requirements to the time of submission of the final products.
The phases or stages of the operational cycle should be considered as a series of guidelines that assist the staff
planer, the special collection unit and particularly the agent handler in handling and carrying out special collection
operations.
STEPS OF THE INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONAL CYCLE
⚫ MISSION – the concise written statement of the directives broken down into objectives and further classified
into pertinent targets as a result of the mission analysis in relation with one’s capabilities and operational
conditions.
⚫ OPERATIONAL PLANNING – the concept of the project. It involves the assignment of a specific task to each
element or operating agency, the operational support, coordination, administrative instruction and security.
⚫ SPOTTING – the process of locating, identifying and gathering data on persons who appear to be of potential
value to current operations or those which may conceivably take place on a later date. The spotting process
must be done in a manner which leaves the agent candidates unaware of the spotting activity.
⚫ INVESTIGATION AND ASSESSMENT
◼ this involves processing and collating the maximum information available on the agent candidate to
determine his qualification, motivation and suitability to undertake information collection activities.
◼ may reveal facts about the agent candidate that makes him unfit for the assignment.
⚫ RECRUITMENT
◼ the formal acceptance of the agent candidate as an active member of the information collection effort.
Access is the key.
jgp_16

◼ The objectives of recruitment are to obtain qualified and motivated agents and eliminate the danger of
jeopardizing the mission in the recruitment process.
Steps in Recruitment
➢ Assessment of the target
➢ Planning the approach
➢ Rapport development
➢ Exploitation of motives
➢ Cultivation and development of the right attitude
⚫ TRAINING – a continuous matter and is accomplished both informally and formally. The goal of agent training
is to provide the general knowledge and special skills so the agent can carry out effectively and securely the
task assigned to him.
⚫ BRIEFING – consists of providing the agent with the most recent developments that may affect the operation;
a general review of the operational facts and detailed instructions regarding the task itself.
⚫ OPERATIONAL TESTING – tasking an agent to obtain certain operational requirements applying all aspects
taken during the training. It is an efficiency performance test.
⚫ DISPATCH AND RECEPTION – defining the procedures to be followed by the agent when communication is
sent to him as well as when he sends back communication.
⚫ COMMUNICATION – outlining the system communication flow that must conform to the limits set by security in
accordance with the operational requirements and consistent with the 4 basic aspects of control, flow,
continuity and security.
⚫ DEBRIEFING – begins as soon as he has completed an assigned task in order to get the latest intelligence
information and operational developments. It often serves as a favorable time for making clarifications. It should
be thoroughly prepared in order to recognize significant information and to ask the right questions.
⚫ PAYMENTS – an agent may receive regular payment for his services. Some who adhere to a certain strong
moral and ideological code may not wish to accept money, but may have no objection receiving financial
compensation of their clandestine collection effort.
⚫ DISPOSITION – Termination of the services of agents must be considered prior to recruitment. An agent may
be terminated because of accomplishment of the mission, exhaustion of funds, agent being compromised, lack
of access to the assigned target, and disloyalty on the part of the agent.
⚫ REPORTING – the means of transmitting the main product of clandestine collection effort.

OVERVIEW ON COUNTERINTELLIGENCE (CI)
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE – the aspect of police intelligence relating to all security measures both offensive (active)
and defensive (passive) to safeguard information, personnel, material and installations against espionage, sabotage
and subversion by foreign nations and dissident groups or individuals that constitute a threat to national security.
ESPIONAGE – the act or practice of spying. The use of a spy by a government in order to discover the military or
political secrets of other nations.
SABOTAGE – destruction of property or obstruction of public service as to undermine a government’s police or
military effort.
SUBVERSION – an act that seeks to overthrow a constituted government. The act or instance of subverting.
TREASON – disloyalty to one’s own country by giving away or selling its secrets to the enemy or by trying to overthrow
its government.
SEDITION – any action promoting or inciting discontent or rebellion against a government.
MEASURES FOR EFFECTIVE COUNTERINTELIGENCE
⚫ Passive (Defensive) – CI measures that seek to conceal information from the enemy.
Example: Secrecy discipline, communication security, concealment camouflage.
⚫ Active (Offensive) – CI measures that seek to actively block enemy attempts to gain information or block enemy
efforts to engage in espionage, sabotage or subversion. This includes detection, prevention and neutralization.
COMPONENENTS OF COUNTERINTELIGENCE
⚫ PHYSICAL SECURITY
◼ Physical Security – a system of barrier placed between the potential intruder and the material being
protected
◼ Human Barrier – a person who stands between the intruder and the material being protected.
◼ Animal Barrier – usually a dog trained used as guard
◼ Natural Barrier – all barriers that are not man-made such as mountains, rivers, etc.
◼ Energy Barrier – usually electrical and electronics devices used to provide assistance to guard personnel.
◼ Structural Barrier – constructed feature, regardless of original intent, that tend to delay intruder
⚫ PERSONNEL SECURITY
◼ includes security measures designed to prevent unauthorized individual of doubtful loyalty to the Philippine
government from gaining access to classified matters or security facilities, armaments, restricted

embarrassment or unwarranted injury to an individual or would b an advantage to a foreign nation.
◆ Restricted – information and material that require special protection other than that determined
to be top secret, secret or confidential.
⚫ COMMUNICATION SECURITY (COMSEC) – the protection resulting from the application of measures
designed to deny unauthorized persons information of value which might be derived from a study of
communications materials and information or to mislead unauthorized persons in their interpretations of the
results of such a study.
⚫ OPERATIONAL SECURITY (OPSEC) – the sum total of precautions taken to maintain the secrecy of the activity
and protect the identity of agents constitutes operational security.
