John Murray – D Co 165th Military Intelligence Battalion

Counterintelligence Agent John Murray returns to the Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner. John and Pete are going to expand on their conversation that focuses on Tactical Field Collection. Counterintelligence is many things...but John and Pete are experts in the tactical collection of the job.

As Pete explores Delta Company 165th's deployment to Bosnia, we all get to learn what happen when a company of spies and interrogators deployed in support of the Dayton Peace Accords. The IFOR (Implementation Force) deployment of 1996 marked the dawn of the digital age for intelligence assets in a field setting. Laptops replaced pens and paper. Drones created a 3rd dimension for commanders that was previously unavailable. For the first time in US military history, a company of spies and interrogators were the main effort in a conflict rather than special forces, infantry, tanks or artillery.
