____________________________________________ 16 IICC Perspectives The numbers speak for themselves: thirty percent of Military Intelligence's raw material today comes from CED. Thirty percent, and there isn't a single debriefing that doesn't rely on CED materials one hundred percent. And we, here in the unit, are still fighting a battle for survival, asking whether this source will be kept alive... whether it will really be shut down again after the war." There are two words to describe how to overcome every point of failure: taking responsibility. D.: "To wind this up I just want to say, right now we're waiting for the decision to formalize the unit, based on the debriefing I recently conducted. I'm getting signals that this is indeed the direction. Everyone understands that CED is an operational tool, even before it's an intelligence-gathering source. "We're going to train combat soldiers not to ignore maps, phones and computers they find in buildings and rooms they enter. I'll even teach them how to crack safes… Just like every unit has a medic and a radio operator, there will also be an CED team. Every soldier will have basic awareness of how important it is, and we'll build a skill set that will grow and become more sophisticated as we move up the pyramid, from the field all the way to General Staff level. And yes, I have a good indication that's the direction we're heading in." Military Intelligence award for Creative Thinking during "Iron Sword" War, given to the CED unit in January 2025.
