ABSTRACT
Over the past 75 years, the United States and the United Kingdom have built the deepest intelligence alliance in the world. Despite decades of cooperation, however, there exists today a significant misalignment between the strategic prioritization of this “special relationship” and the regulations, policies, organizational cultures, and technologies that facilitate its day-to-day activities. This report’s recommendations are designed to encourage the adoption of policies, procedures, and tools that will enable the United States and the United Kingdom to achieve the deep level of collaboration they have repeatedly committed to in bilateral agreements, national security strategies, and intelligence guidance. If allies and partners are an indispensable pillar of both nations’ strategies to challenge rising and revanchist authoritarianism and other threats, then the U.S. and UK intelligence communities should jointly pursue robust interoperability that appropriately balances risk with opportunity. World War II posed a significant intelligence challenge to the Western allies. The German government used assorted models of a specific cipher device, that would come to be known in the West as “Enigma”. The cryptographic effort against this system, led by the British, was known as ULTRA. The Japanese used its own version of this device; the cryptographic effort against this system, run by the Americans, was known as MAGIC. As the war, and the astounding effects of cryptographic success, progressed, both the Americans and British found it in their best interests to collaborate and share expertise.
