As I was praying for the protection of our troops in Iraq, I suddenly knew there was something amiss. I immediately thought of an article I had just received about the newest electronic warfare system that will be used by U.S. troops in Iraq (see http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=942, An American “Prophet” Takes on the Prophet Mohammed’s Fighters in Iraq). The very title of the article is disconcerting. Interestingly, the system is called “The Prophet” and is supposed to enhance situational awareness. You will notice on the symbol associated with the prophet (see below and read the DEBKAfile article), that the developers of the system have linked wizardry to its ability to provide information. Although this very likely is a valuable tool, I began to repent for the U.S. because it appears we have connected wizardry, occult, and witchcraft to the protection of our troops rather than God Almighty. This cannot be; we cannot look to anything but God for protection. Wizardry, occult, or sorcery will only bring God's judgment not protection. Deut. 18:10-12 condemns witchcraft, sorcery, etc. We cannot send a wizard, calling it a prophet, to take on the Prophet Muhammad's fighters or we will wind up with a Balaam and God condemned him as a false prophet. God even admonished the church in Pergamos (Revelation 2:12-17) for adhering to this false prophet. It is like sending a false prophet to win a war with a false prophet. There is a principle in the Word of God that says (Psalm 127:1), “If the Lord doesn't keep the city (Nation, troops etc.) the watchman wakes in vain.” The body of Christ needs to be on the watch for such as this. God give us a voice in the right places to make it known that we disagree with these tactics. Repent as Daniel did for a whole nation - we have sinned, God forgive us! Please continue to intercede for the protection of our troops. Pray that God will rule over this new warfare system (and existing systems) in such a way that it will far exceed the expectations of the developers and reveal to them that God is in charge. Ask God to enlighten those who make decisions that allow witchcraft, sorcery and wizardry to be linked to our warfare systems. Ask, also, for Godly men and women in our armed services to begin to bring this to their attention. Martha Lucia

General Description. Prophet is the Division and Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) commander's principal signals intelligence & electronic warfare (SIGINT & EW) system and preprocessor of organic SIGINT. It supports Force XXI and Army After Next (AAN) concepts by providing the commander with greatly enhanced situational awareness. Prophet will also provide the Tactical Commander with an enhanced capability for electronic Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB), battlespace visualization, target development, and force protection throughout the division's width and depths as defined in Army XXI. Prophet will provide for non-lethal fires through its Electronic Attack and will provide the commander with their own Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) asset. The System is named for "The Prophets" Delta Company, 104th Military Intelligence Battalion, 4th Infantry Division, Ft Hood, TX and the unit it was reflagged from, Alpha and later Delta Company, 522d Military Intelligence Battalion, 2d Armored Division, "the Original Prophets". Interfaces and Connectivity. Prophet feeds the division and armored cavalry commander's Analysis Control Element’s (ACE) All Source Analysis System (ASAS). It will also feed the subordinate commander's Analysis Control Team’s (ACT) Common Ground Station (CGS) and/or ASAS-Remote Work Stations (ASAS-RWS) providing in near-real-time digital information to the common operating picture (COP). Commanders receive added force protection from Prophet's ability to provide voice reports to the supported units from the Prophet Ground and Control assets.). To optimize its capabilities, Prophet is fully integrated with and cued through ASAS by sound IPB and other sensors such as Joint STARS, GUARDRAIL Common Sensor (GRCS), Artillery Counter Mortar/Battery Radars and Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control/FAADC2, in a synchronized effort to support the warfighter. Regardless of Prophet’s roles the operations officer must ensure Prophet is synchronized with all other assets with in the battlespace. Missions of Prophet.
System Description. The Prophet consists of Prophet Air, Control, and Ground and is a suite of division- level EW/SIGINT systems that operate at the collateral level or below (The Prophet Control element will have the capability to co-locate and interface with SCI elements such as the ACE or Special Purpose-Built Systems (SPBS)). Prophet’s primary mission will be to electronically map radio frequency (RF) emitters on the battlefield from 20 MHz (High Frequency/HF) to 2000 MHz (Super High Frequency/SHF). Electronic mapping is defined as detecting, identifying, locating, and tracking all RF emitters operating within line of sight and hearability and a graphical depiction Electronic Targeting Indicators (ETIs) of these emitters to allow for nodal analysis and correlation with other intelligence feeds at the Division's ACE SIGINT section and with the CGS at the Brigade's ACT. Prophet will facilitate the Protection of Global Positioning System (GPS) (GPS Protect), Detection of intrusion or false GPS signals (GPS Detect), and Attack the opposing forces capability to utilize GPS (GPS Attack). The systems will also have the capability to more accurately locate selected emitters, conduct Electronic Attack (EA) of selected nodes, and perform exploitation of tactical voice communications. The Prophet will provide the capability to cross cue other IEW and non-IEW sensors.
