In a tactical setting, analysts can use the results of SWOT to examine a target’s operating structure, method of operating, capabilities, financial base, and so on. A SWOT was used in developing target profiles in chapter 12 (with an example of a target profile involving a notional international criminal enterprise), and chapter 13 (“Tactical Assessments”).

Ways of using the information contained within a SWOT can be generated based on combinations of the factors as follows:

Strengths/Opportunities. Ways that will use strengths so that opportunities can be realized.

Weaknesses/Opportunities. Ways to address weaknesses in order to provide relief so that opportunities can be followed.

Strengths/Threats. Ways that use strengths “offensively” to moderate threats.

Weaknesses/Threats. Defensive ways that will protect against threats. See table 11.1 for an example of a SWOT analytical matrix.
