The video begins. A dire legal reminder of the viewer's confidentiality agreement, and the penalties for divulging any of the presented content. A corporate logo, fading to black. Cut to stock footage of American soldiers walking down a dusty Iraqi street, a gaggle of brown-faced children trailing behind. A deep, authoritative narrator speaks.
The War on Terror is an ever-changing struggle that transcends battlefields, ignores national borders, defies traditional military doctrine. It is a battle we cannot afford to lose.
More stock-footage montage. A Marine in desert camouflage firing a machine gun. An explosion, caught on shaky videocamera from behind a roofline. A generic Bad Guy in Turban speaking into a cell phone. Overhead thermal-image video of a huddle of men burying an IED beside a road. A civilian airliner on landing approach. A 1980s mujaheddin grinning as he hoists a Stinger missile tube.
This war cannot be won without intelligence. America enjoys a SIGINT infrastructure second to none, but we can never overlook the need to understand our enemy's intentions. His thoughts. His beliefs. However well-intentioned, our efforts at gathering such human intelligence have met with stumbling blocks.
Still image--a grinning US soldier with pixel-obscured face, standing next to a pair of naked, hooded detainees, as another soldier shoves the face of one against the groin of the other.
Such missteps, however well-intentioned, have harmed America's ability to speak with moral authority on the international stage. We must do better. We must develop techniques that are humane, yet effective.
Footage of two individuals lying on hospital beds, a man in hospital scrubs leaning over one of them. They each have an IV in their arm, and a mask of some kind, fitted with a standard oxygen tube, and connected to a Gorgon's-head array of electrical leads. The mask covers each subject's eyes, giving them a blank-faced, anonymous appearance.
At Remtech Security Solutions, we are harnessing cutting-edge neuromedical technologies to provide enhanced interrogation and HUMINT cross-association methodologies.
