About
1976 CIA competitive analysis exercise that challenged official intelligence assessments of Soviet military capabilities and intentions.
Key Relationships
Paul Wolfowitz
member
In 1976, Wolfowitz served on the advisory panel of Team B, the competitive intelligence analysis exercise commissioned by CIA Director George H.W. Bush to challenge the CIA's assessments of Soviet military capabilities. Team B concluded that official estimates chronically underestimated Soviet military power. After the fall of the Soviet Union, nearly all of Team B's major assertions were found to be false. The Team B exercise established a template Wolfowitz would later replicate with the Office of Special Plans.
