CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHOD OF FORMATION OF PERSPECTIVE INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The experience of the participation of subunits and units of the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU) in the anti-terrorist and the Joint Forces operations proves that one of the important stages of the reform and development of NGU is to improve the existing intelligence system. The formation of the intelligence system that is necessary for the National Guard of Ukraine should be based on legislative substantiation, optimization of the structure of the system, its technical re-equipment, and reasoned views of the Guard Command regarding the necessary intelligence support.

The Intelligence System of the National Guard of Ukraine is intended to provide the necessary intelligence information to the headquarters of the General Directorate of the NGU, the operational-territorial units, the headquarters of the subunits and units - for the qualitative performance of military-combat missions.

The Intelligence System of the National Guard of Ukraine is an organizational and informational component of the intelligence forces and means of communication, and information links between them, which are deployed on the ground in the zone of performance of missions by units and formations of the NGU according to the plan of the heads of the General Directorate, at the time of war according to the plan of the senior commander of the group troops (forces).

Conceptual approaches to the development of a methodology for the formation of a prospective intelligence system of the National Guard of Ukraine are presented in the work as a step-by-step process, which will consist of four stages:

Step 1. Formation of intelligence agencies depending on the scope of tasks.

Stage 2. Formation of the required number of reconnaissance means (sets), depending on the scope of tasks.

Stage 3. Formation of intelligence grouping, distribution of forces and means of intelligence.

Stage 4. Formation of channels for the receipt and exchange of intelligence information.

Each of these stages of conceptual approaches to developing a methodology for the formation of a prospective intelligence system of the National Guard of Ukraine needs further scientific substantiation and research. The results of these studies should be used in the development of the existing system of the National Guard of Ukraine.
