Subtitle D—Intelligence-Related 
Matters 
SEC. 931. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STRATEGY FOR OPEN- 
SOURCE INTELLIGENCE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
377 
HR 1815 RFS 
(1) Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is intel-
ligence that is produced from publicly available in-
formation collected, exploited, and disseminated in a 
timely manner to an appropriate audience for the 
purpose of addressing a specific intelligence require-
ment. 
(2) With the Information Revolution, the 
amount, significance, and accessibility of open-source 
information has exploded, but the Intelligence Com-
munity has not expanded its exploitation efforts and 
systems to produce open-source intelligence. 
(3) The production of open-source intelligence 
is a valuable intelligence discipline that must be inte-
grated in the intelligence cycle to ensure that United 
States policymakers are fully and completely in-
formed. 
(4) The dissemination and use of validated 
open-source intelligence inherently enables informa-
tion sharing as it is produced without the use of sen-
sitive sources and methods. Open-source intelligence 
products can be shared with the American public 
and foreign allies because of its unclassified nature. 
(5) The National Commission on Terrorist At-
tacks Upon the United States, in its Final Report 
released on July 22, 2004, identified shortfalls in
378 
HR 1815 RFS 
the ability of the United States to employ all-source 
intelligence, a large component of which is open- 
source intelligence. 
(6) The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Pre-
vention Act of 2004 (Public Law 108–458) advo-
cates for coordination of the collection, analysis, pro-
duction, and dissemination of open-source intel-
ligence. 
(7) The Commission on the Intelligence Capa-
bilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of 
Mass Destruction, in its report to the President re-
leased on March 31, 2005, found ‘‘that the need for 
exploiting open-source material is greater now than 
ever before,’’ but that ‘‘the Intelligence Community’s 
open source programs have not expanded commensu-
rate with either the increase in available information 
or with the growing importance of open source data 
to today’s problems’’. 
(b) STRATEGY FOR OPEN-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE.— 
(1) DEVELOPMENT
OF
STRATEGY.—The Sec-
retary of Defense shall develop a strategy, to be 
known as the ‘‘Strategy for Open-Source Intel-
ligence’’, to be incorporated within the larger mili-
tary intelligence strategy, for the purpose of inte-
379 
HR 1815 RFS 
grating open-source intelligence into the military in-
telligence cycle. 
(2) SUBMISSION.—The Secretary shall submit 
the Strategy for Open-Source Intelligence to Con-
gress not later than January 31, 2006. 
(3) MATTERS TO BE INCLUDED.—The Strategy 
for Open-Source Intelligence shall include the fol-
lowing: 
(A) An investment strategy for the devel-
opment of a robust open-source intelligence ca-
pability, with particular emphasis on exploi-
tation and dissemination. 
(B) A description of how management of 
open-source intelligence collection is currently 
performed at the Department level and how it 
can be improved in the future. 
(C) A description of the tools, systems, 
centers, personnel, and procedures that will be 
used 
to 
perform 
open-source 
intelligence 
tasking, collection, exploitation, and dissemina-
tion. 
(D) A description of proven tradecraft for 
effective open-source intelligence exploitation, to 
include consideration of operational security.
380 
HR 1815 RFS 
(E) A detailed description on how open- 
source intelligence will be fused with all other 
intelligence sources across the Department of 
Defense. 
(F) A description of open-source intel-
ligence training plan and guidance for Depart-
ment of Defense and service intelligence per-
sonnel. 
(G) A plan to incorporate the open-source 
intelligence oversight function into the Office of 
the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence 
and into service intelligence organizations. 
(H) A plan to incorporate and identify an 
open-source intelligence specialty into Depart-
ment and service personnel systems. 
(I) A plan to use reserve component intel-
ligence personnel to augment and support the 
open-source intelligence mission. 
(J) A plan for the use of the Open-Source 
Information System for the purpose of exploi-
tation and dissemination.
