Notes

1. The opinions expressed in this chapter are those of the author and do not represent, or otherwise reflect, any official opinion or position of the Government of Canada, or any of its departments and agencies. This chapter draws on the author’s assessment of his experience as related in his portion of the internal report Paul Dickson, Anton Minkov and Heather Hrychuk, Measuring Success And Defining Victory Perspectives From Red Teaming Operations In Afghanistan (DRDC: Ottawa, 2014).

2. The DIA had a significant footprint in Afghanistan, and was a key contributor to the civilian surge undertaken by President Barack Obama. The DIA also recognized the need to refocus its analysis towards a more qualitative approach. Indeed, in the period under review in this article, one of the main proponents of that shift was the director of the DIA, Lieutenant-General Michael T. Flynn. After his experience as Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence (CJ2), for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan in 2008–9, then Major General Flynn wrote a critical and public review of the failures of intelligence in Afghanistan (Flynn, Pottinger, and Batchelor 2010).
