#4  I remember years ago a similar study was done in Vietnam. Colin L. Powell when told the results said that any military man could have told the egg heads that the Vietnamese like to fight at night.

#2  Bullshi* flag down:

These UAHuntsville scientists hope to help secure $ 40,000,000,000,000. in research grants to provide a better intelligence posture on these asymmetric threats by developing computer models that identify trends in the behaviors of the adversaries.

Latecomers from Alabama following requirements $$$$$. Recommend you contact the "The Advanced Research and Development Activity (ARDA). Mention you'd like to be involved in their "Novel Intelligence from Massive Data effort." In the meantime, I'll put my money on the warfighter E-4 at Battalion and Brigade and his access to DCGS-I search tools and data-bases.

#1  I suspect this is already part of the existing intel analysis at certain levels. We know the database already exists.

The pHd probably didn't want to (or didn't have the clearance to) consult with the E-4 over in the corner of the S-2 op's at the local FOB. /s maybe
