There have been numerous recent studies on the way culture impacts national approaches to war. Many of these conflate war with national security, failing to address issues such as diplomacy, economic aid, or intelligence. This paper argues that the U.S. has a unique culture of intelligence, distinct from its culture of war. It explores the origins of this culture in the influence of British partnerships constructed prior to and during World War II. It examines the development of a specific intelligence culture throughout the war and its structural foundation in the National Security Act of 1947. It then defines the elements of this culture and concludes that efforts to reform intelligence have repeatedly fallen short because they have failed to recognize or address the underlying culture, preferring bureaucratic reforms and ad hoc arrangements.
