Complete the 3 tasks below, in graphic form. There must be a horizontal timeline and the key information tagged to specific dates or time frames. Do not submit columnar information. You can use the the same basic horizontal graph from 1940-present for each. This assignment will require you to research and prepare key information regarding the IC, its evolution, and its operations.
First Timeline. Create a graphical time frame of key dates in the creation of the organizations that currently comprise the intelligence community, including key laws and executive orders that provide legal authority for the IC. Start this timeline at 1940 and ending 2024. You should have key dates for each of the members of the IC and the associated laws. There should be at least 6 key laws noted that have transformed the IC. There should be at least the creation date for each member of the IC.
Second Timeline. Create a graphical time line that shows time horizontally from 1940-present and shows Europe, Africa, Asia/Pacific, Latin America, Near East/Middle East, and Eastern Europe on the vertical axis. List at least 15 US covert action operations by name and country, geographical area (the 6 listed above), operation name, and dates.
Third Timeline. Create a graphical time line that shows time horizontally from 1945-present and highlights at least 15 key technological innovations created by the IC that support intelligence collection (imagery, HUMINT, ELINT, COMINT, MASINT, etc.).
Citation and Reference Style
Students will follow the Chicago Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework to the course. See http://www.apus.edu/Online-Library/tutorials/chicago.htm. A quick guide may be found at: The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017 available online at: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html The Author-Date system is recommended. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/717/10/. Make sure to put the citations on its own page, clarifying which graph those citations belong to.
NOTE: I requested 10 sources, but feel free to use as many as you need for this assignment as I am unsure how much is needed. Just make sure it is no less than 5.
All submissions must be in graphical format, presented horizontally, with clear timelines and labels.
Given this is a project, the grading will be based on the whether you have included key information, correct dates, names and labels, and that the presentation is clear.
