VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Twenty Naval Intelligence Officer Basic Course (NIOBC) students from Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Virginia Beach visited multiple intelligence commands during visit to Washington, June 24-27.
The trip provided valuable insight into the expectations of junior intelligence officers across not only the intelligence community, but also within the information warfare community. The students were able to ask questions and have analytic conversations with subject matter experts while leveraging the information taught throughout the NIOBC 20-week course.
The tour included Aerospace Data Facility-East, Pentagon, Central Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Office of Naval Intelligence, and Defense Intelligence Agency. Additionally, the students gained exposure to the chief of naval operations intelligence briefers at the Pentagon and the Office of Naval Intelligence staff, supporting global operations and providing a holistic view of naval intelligence.
The tour, scheduled at the end of each NIOBC iteration, provides students with the opportunity to interact within all aspects of the intelligence community and commands they will work with in the future. Each command visited provides an overview of their mission, facility tours, in-depth analytical discussion and answers questions about the community. The students leave this exchange with a better understanding of how the intelligence community can support the operational environment and how to communicate with them when as they enter the community.
“Thank you to these commands for supporting our training, and this tour is an indispensable part of NIOBC by providing our new intelligence officers with background and tools to succeed in today’s ever changing environment,” said Cmdr. Richard Bosworth, IWTC Virginia Beach’s commanding officer.
