From the Mind to the Feet - Assessing the Perception-to-Intent-to-Action Dynamic

From the Mind to the Feet: Assessing the Perception-to-Intentto- Action Dynamic is an interagency, multidisciplinary collection of 12 essays addressing operational and academic perspectives on the elusive concept of an adversary's "intent"-its indicators and relation to behavior. It is primarily intended for the operational and policy community in the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, the Department of Homeland Security, and other US government agencies. The authors are from the intelligence community, the military services, US government agencies, federally funded research and development centers, academia, and the private sector. The purpose of From the Mind to the Feet is to open a much deeper dialogue about gauging intent than currently exists either in operational or academic arenas. It is intended to serve military and civilian defense leaders, deterrence and policy planners, and practitioners with a review of the basic concepts and state-of-the-art understanding of intent. It is organized into two sections: operational and academic perspectives on intent. Air University Press.
