Arabic and Arabic-English references on intelligence, security and C3I Title: Security Dictionary English-Arabic -- = Author: The Studies

dies and Research Center Naif Arab Academy for Security Studies (NAASS) Publisher: NAASS Press, Riyadh, 1997 / 1418 H. Paperback, 260 pp Price at local bookstores in Riyadh in 2007 was 46 SR. Some additional Arabic-only or bilingual [English-Arabic] materials exist about intelligence & security subjects. Finding and getting them may be a touch difficult, but do-able, under certain circumstances. Arabic translations in Saudi Arabia of relevant US Army Field Manuals (FM)[which are themselves obsolete and replaced in the US Army]: FM 34-1 Combat Intelligence - Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG), Riyadh - Arabic & English editions, issued as SANG manuals FM 34-130 Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) - SANG, Riyadh - ditto ----------------------------The following is a specialized textbook among the large batch of student references issued to military officers (including some from SANG) attending the year-long course at the Ministry of Defense (MOD) Command and General Staff College (CGSC), Riyadh Intelligence Staff Officer's Guide [2003] - Arabic-only edition These three pubs were very useful to me when I was an advisor and trainer in these and related ("C3I" et al) subjects to commanders and staffs of SANG units. They cover the nitty-gritty details of "military intelligence," primarily tactical/combat intelligence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For concepts, terms, acronyms, and jargon/expressions specific to higher-level strategic / "national intelligence," these three pubs, cited below, may be helpful, provided one buys BOTH the original English editions and their corresponding Arabic translations. (I bought my copies at the Jarir or Obeikan outlets in downtown Riyadh. I can suggest one of the better-stocked Arabic bookstores in southern California which most probably can find & order them because of its US distributorship agreements with those two and other major Arabic publishers overseas.)
