Overview
answer a complex intelligence requirement simply, concisely, parsimoniously, and elegantly. Synthesize at least six separate sources of varying types (media, think tanks, government reports, opinion pieces, etc.) into your answer. Your assessment can't be any longer than two pages, less is acceptable as long as you answer the question. Take everything we've talked about so far into consideration: research and compile your sources, brainstorm a response, develop an outline, and consider the layout and organization of your paper as an element of your response.
You must include your references in APA format with source descriptors as we did last week; the reference section does not count against the page limit. And before anyone gets too creative – remember that APA format is one inch margins and 11 or 12 font size.
And your customer's intelligence question is: "We are three years into Russia's war with Ukraine, what are some of the big picture lessons we can take away about strategic competition and conflict in the 21st century?"
