When it comes to ensuring the actualization of appropriate/efficient ways of gathering intelligence by the U.S. human intelligence collection programs, Human Intelligence (HUMINT) is an extremely important method (Boži? & Dimovski, 2019). There is the presence of informers/agents who are designated/selected prior to the start of operations by HUMINT. The percentage/probability of reliability in case of utilizing HUMINT is high. Moreover, the collected information/data is more concrete than other methods. Therefore, the process of deciphering such data/information by any data analyst becomes more convenient.
