Attention Please: Students will follow Chicago Style as the sole citation and reference style used
within this course.
All written submissions should be submitted in Times New Roman 12pt font with 1” margins,
typewritten in double-spaced format unless otherwise noted within the assignment section of the
course. Graduate-level work is expected to be free of grammar, usage, and style errors.
Note: Failure to use the required reading thoroughly and in detail (specifics, facts, and examples
from the Hooker reading) will likely prevent your paper from earning a grade better than a D or C.
Important note: This is not an assignment about the strategic assessments (NIE) related to WMD
in Iraq. This assignment is specifically about intelligence support to the operational planning for
the invasion of Iraq.
From the required readings (Hooker) and external relevant research identify the areas where
intelligence support to the development of the series of Iraq War plans that culminated in OIF
were generally successful. What contributed to this success?
