The intelligence collection techniques that I think have been used to the greatest effect in Iraq and Afghanistan is HUMINT and SIGINT. This could be that I am a little bias of the two because I have worked for a SIGNIT and HUMINT agency. HUMINT intelligence has been great in the war on terrorism in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a more tribal area than Iraq and while SIGNIT is still possible through the use of cell phone and internet tracking, I have noticed that best results comes from the information gathered by case officers conducting clandestine operations on the ground. SIGNIT is used to track terrorist networks, but more so the traces are coming from Pakistan and the attacks are taking place in Afghanistan. SIGNIT would have more success if not only drone strikes were conducted in Pakistan, but also raids by US forces as well.
