A primary GPS network of Continuously Operating
Reference Stations (CORS) was established in 2000.
Honduras is now (as of 2004) part of the SIRGAS
network of Latin American countries, and it has
developed Second-Order and Third-Order networks
for the entire republic. A high-order network was
observed and published in 2011 for the capital
city of Tegucigalpa through the cooperation of the
Spanish University of Alcala, the Universidad
Nacional Autonoma de Honduras, the Instituto de la
Propiedad, and the Direccion General de Catastro y
Geografia.

world stage, but also to watershed events within the United States
such as the woman’s and civil rights movements of the 1960’s and
1970’s. The book is honest about a culture challenged by changing
norms in society, technology, world events, and inter-agency strife that
the directors of the center had to contend with while still managing to
accomplish the mission and develop an effective organization.
Throughout the book the author recounts stories, facts, and his and
other’s personal experience at NPIC to illustrate every facet of the
events that influenced Mr. Lundhal’s and Huffstutler’s steering of
the organization. From the development of a personnel review system
and how new analysts were treated, to the impacts of the U-2 and
KH programs the book is able to clearly outline how this organization
became a shining example of what a well-led government organization
is capable of and how these two leaders were instrumental in getting
NPIC there. For the casual reader with little or no experience in
the Intelligence Community the book can be a difficult read. The
amount of descriptive detail and organizational jargon throughout
the book sometimes lends itself to some redundancy and the author
skips around a bit making the sequence of events sometimes hard to
follow. The book requires some additional editing to address these
shortcomings. Overall, the book offers an incredible insight into the
events, people, and technology that shaped modern intelligence efforts
and established a leadership template that is still followed today in
our intelligence circles.
