• What organizational structure(s) do the terrorist and organized crime organizations follow?
• What are the terrorist and organized crime organizations’ reporting structures and communication strategies?
• What threat capabilities do the two organizations possess?
• What is each of the organizations’ center of gravity (critical vulnerability that when destroyed or disabled makes the organization ineffective)?
