ISP Tearline Student Teams Brief Texas Army National Guard  

On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, students from two Tearline research teams briefed the General Officer Board meeting at the Texas Army National Guard. Brigadier General Monie Ulis, Deputy Adjutant General – Army at Camp Mabry, and his staff praised the students for their high-quality analysis and professional briefing abilities.  

In recent years, the Clements-Strauss Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) has enabled outstanding students at The University of Texas at Austin to participate in the Tearline Project. This National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency initiative partners with expert non-profit groups to grow public facing, authoritative open-source intelligence (OSINT) on various strategic, economic, and humanitarian topics. Offered through ISP, this research program aims to develop students’ OSINT and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) research, analysis, writing, and briefing capabilities on pertinent foreign policy topics under the guidance of former members of the intelligence community among ISP’s faculty and staff.  

Interested members of the ISP community are encouraged to learn more about the Tearline program HERE.  

The Clements-Strauss Intelligence Studies Project commends every member of the Tearline student teams – both those who delivered the briefing as well as those who contributed to the teams’ research and analysis – for their hard work and exceptional degree of professionalism. Further, ISP remains proud of its student-focused programming aiming to effectively train tomorrow’s intelligence professionals.
