Section 1652 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act tasks the U. S. Department of Defense (DoD) to perform a zero-based review (ZBR)--a detailed review rather than a simple comparison with previous size or budget--of its cybersecurity and information technology workforces. The ZBR process described in this report constitutes a transparent, repeatable process with which DoD can conduct ZBRs across the DoD cyber enterprise.

The U. S. military and intelligence community are interested in developing and deploying artificial intelligence (AI) systems to support intelligence analysis. The authors develop methods for assessing the impact AI systems are likely to have on intelligence missions that they support.
