USA Insurance Market Intelligence “The US insurance market is regarded as one of the best markets in the world, given its wide range of products and excellent customer service. Insurance regulation in the country is fragmented among state authorities but it is coordinated through the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). The insurance market in the US primarily functions through two broad categories; namely life and non-life insurance. The non-life segment is relatively broad. Apart from these two categories, there is specialty insurance that includes title insurance, surety bonds, financial guarantee and mortgage guarantee insurance.

The life insurance premiums witnessed a slight decline in 2008 on account of economic slowdown, rising unemployment and loss of income. The P&C segment has witnessed growth mainly on account of two mandatory lines third party automobile insurance, and workers’ compensation (for work accidents). Although, the insurance industry did register a slight growth in premium income (mainly due to health & pension) in 2008, the impact of the financial crisis was visible on the insurance industry in Q109 when it recorded a slowdown in premium earned. The US P&C sector is highly fragmented with State Farm Group and American International Group being the largest insurers. Significant catastrophe losses in 2008, coupled with the decline in investment income due to the 2008 financial turmoil in credit and equity markets will continue to affect earnings of the US insurance market in the coming quarters.

The present report gives an overview of the US insurance market along with the analysis of the American political structure and economic growth. The report provides an insight into the market size and trends in insurance premiums of life and non-life insurance sectors. Insurance premiums are discussed in terms of life and non-life segments and the density and penetration levels. The various developments and drivers are also discussed and finally the projections regarding premium growth are given.

By combining SPSS Inc.’s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.

Ongoing military intelligence education is critical to ensure that military intelligence professionals stay on the leading edge of strategic security issues around the globe.

For the most part, military intelligence education focuses on the same type of training received from civilian intelligence education programs, but with more emphasis on military objectives and tactical intelligence.

The goal of military intelligence is the acquisition and analysis of information on the enemy’s plans and intentions, combat capabilities and limitations, and its own intelligence collection.

Three Components of Military Intelligence There are three basic components of military intelligence, operational, tactical and strategic intelligence. Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) and Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) are used to achieve all of these components. Military intelligence needs of today are complex and require the skills of all intelligence disciplines and intelligence analysis skills (also known as “all-source intelligence”).

Operational intelligence permits the commander on the battlefield to see the significance of terrain, weather, and the enemy situation. Tactical intelligence helps provide soldiers with knowledge they need on the front lines.

Strategic intelligence provides a basis for plans and strategy for domestic and foreign policy. Strategic intelligence helps to uncover information about foreign governments and non-state actors (like terrorist groups) that enhance the ability of national decisionmakers to make knowledgeable and effective policy choices.

Effective military intelligence provides indications and warning intelligence while also serving as a deterrent to prevent the outbreak of war or providing early warning to surprise attack.

Imagery intelligence (IMINT) uses airborne reconnaissance and surveillance operations to gather photo, radar, infrared, or electro’optical data.

Signals intelligence (SIGINT) gathers and analyzes enemy radio/radar transmissions and emissions in a type of electronic warfare. This form of intelligence collection tends to be highly technical in nature.

Human intelligence (HUMINT) is used to develop and conduct collection operations from human sources. Whether it is an operative within a foreign agency or an outside source, the information acquired is information that is difficult or impossible to gather from technical sources.

Whether military intelligence is used to analyze images of enemy positions, listen to their communications, or investigate suspected espionage attempts, it is used every day to defend national security and the US armed forces around the world. A cutting-edge military intelligence education provides military analysts with mission-relevant intelligence skills.

Receiving a military education is paramount so that military analyst can learn “how to think” vs. “what to think.” Knowledge in terrorist techniques, weapons of mass destruction and operational security are just a few examples of what is used when gathering military intelligence. A degree in intelligence management helps form some of the basis for this knowledge used in military intelligence and in the strategic security industry.
