    •  It allowed me to gain experience in my main job I would do if I was an analyst in the Intel field. Threat assessments are very important and no false information can be given you must find the balance between your educated opinion and facts. Threat assessments can take a day weeks months it depends on the level of quality the assessment is at. Also I went by the Intel cycle which enhances the assessment but also makes the process longer.  Below is a link to my threat assessment.

·         APPLIED
How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this. 
    • What I did differently in this scenario I had to make the requirement where usually I am served the requirement. It was extremely hard to draft the mission where I have had experience in only answering the question. My current EQ does not cover that part of MI it has made me think to draft a new EQ.  Also it made me see how important the collecting phase is in the Intel cycle I had to go back and collect more intel because I was not just collecting whatever but I was only collecting a little bit of intel which is more of processing phase. So I might change my answer to my EQ to collecting phase is the most important phase due to the ease it gave me when I collected a whole lot of intel and it enabled me to see multiple paths to answer the requirement not just one path.
