The document discusses the need for a revolution in intelligence affairs (RIA) based on changes in the intelligence environment. It analyzes the intelligence community's structure, process, skill sets, and effectiveness using questions adapted from those used to identify previous revolutions. The analysis finds that developments have changed how intelligence is developed and used, requiring changes to structure, skills, and threatening countries that do not adapt. A new intelligence paradigm is needed to solve mysteries in addition to puzzles using classified, open source, and trusted information from global partners. Embracing an RIA will provide advantages over relying solely on traditional practices.
