Introduction It could be stated with certainty that the US partnership with security organizations from different countries has always been one of the most important aspects of US foreign policy. Particularly, the relationships with India, especially in the context of intelligence and military services’ cooperation, gained critical importance in the past decade. As it is mentioned by Rajagopalan (2018), India signed the General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) in 2002 and the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) in 2016. These two acts are among the so-called foundational agreements, which have the purpose of regulating the relationships between the United States and countries that purchase military and intelligence supplies from the U. S. (Rajagopalan, 2018). As of September 6, 2018, the United States and India have signed the Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA) as the result of the meeting between United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, United States Defence Secretary James ‘Jim’ Mattis, and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman (“What is COMCASA?” 2018). This agreement could be considered as the landmark act in the history of diplomatic and economic relationships between the United States and India due to its immense significance and the vast impact on various aspects of the US-India relations. The purpose of this paper is to provide the background for the emergence of the COMCASA, analyze possible benefits and threats related to the agreement, and then to synthesize a supported recommendation for the extension of the intelligence partnership between the United States and India. A Brief Background on India’s Intelligence Services First of all, it is of high importance to observe the development of intelligence services in India. As it is stated by Sukumar and Sharma (2016), in recent decades, India has been going through considerable changes in terms of improving its intelligence services such as cybersecurity and intelligence gathering. Historically, in the period of the Cold War, the United States and India did not have close diplomatic relationships due to their opposing geopolitical interests and ideologies (Khokhar, 2018). However, since the late 90s, and especially after 9/11, the US government recognized India as “the net provider of security and stability in South Asia” (Khokhar, 2018). For example, the ten-year agreement of the Defense and Trade Technology Initiative (DTTI), signed in 2012, boosted the advancement of intelligence technologies in India significantly (Khokhar, 2018). Overall, the development of defense and security cooperation between the United States and India had a vast positive impact on the improvement of Indian intelligence services. The Observation of the US Intelligence Community’s Goals and Objectives Further, it is also essential to observe the Intelligence Community (IC) of the United States as well as its goals and objectives as the activity of the IC is largely connected with the primary topic of this paper. In general, Webb, Ahmad, Maynard, and Shanks (2014) argue that the performance of the IC is based on the intelligence cycle framework. Accordin
