Each Tuesday, the Conflict, Security, and Development Series will examine new research, discuss creative policy approaches, and highlight recent innovations in responding to the challenges of security and development in conflict and post-conflict situations.

Despite commentary that the apparent lack of US preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic represents an intelligence failure, the US Intelligence Community is in fact uniquely well- structured and positioned to contribute on this novel challenge to US national security. David Gutschmit, retired senior CIA Operations Officer, will explore both the strategic and tactical intelligence on the emergence of COVID-19. Not for attribution.
