Explain why Intelligence Oversight was established
The need for a Department of Defense (DoD) Intelligence Oversight (IO) program came about as a result of certain activities conducted by DoD intelligence and counter-intelligence units against U.S. persons involved in the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States experienced significant civil demonstrations from protesters associated with these movements. Some of these demonstrations were believed to be beyond the ability of civilian authorities to control, and military forces were used to assist in the restoration of order. Units deploying for this purpose discovered they needed basic pre-deployment intelligence to perform their missions. The Army, designated as executive agent for providing aid to civilian authorities, requested assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). When the FBI was unable to provide the information needed, the Army began collecting it. Over time, this collection mushroomed and led to abuse of the Constitutional rights of our citizens. Eventually, DoD intelligence personnel were using inappropriate clandestine and intrusive means to collect information on the legitimate political positions and expressions of U.S. persons, accumulating that information in a nationwide data bank, and sharing that information with law enforcement authorities.
Explain who to report questionable intelligence activity to
According to Procedure 15 of DoD 5240.1-R, one reports what they believe is a questionable intelligence activity to any of the following: your supervisor, (any) intelligence oversight officer, commander, unit legal advisor (either the judge advocate general or general counsel) and/or your unit’s inspector general. Although we prefer that you use your chain of command, this is not always practical. In those situations, you may contact either the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Oversight or the DoD General Counsel’s office directly.
Describe the purpose and applicability of the Intelligence Oversight Program
Applies to all DON intelligence components and governs all intelligence activities undertaken by personnel assigned to those components. This instruction also applies to non-intelligence personnel, engaged in any intelligence activity (e.g., collection, research, analysis, production, retention, dissemination), as well as all other DON components and personnel when that component conducts intelligence and/or intelligence-related activities.

Describe the Task Force structure established during HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE / DISASTER RELIEF (HA/DR)
Joint Task Force
o The Joint Task Force organization for HA/DR is similar to traditional military organizations with a commander, command element and mission-tailored forces. However the nature of HA/DR usually results in combat support and combat service support forces serving more prominent roles than combat elements.
Describe how the following intelligence disciplines play a role in conducting HA/DR
- HUMINT -Primary Collection Means
- IMINT - Secondary Collection Means
- OSINT- Used to determine host nation’s agendas and patterns of operation

Define BMD and state the purpose of BMD missions worldwide (provide example)
BMD is Ballistic Missile Defense. Strategic positioning of point defense capable assets to detect, engage, and destroy ballistic missiles launched by hostile nations and organizations. Example: The announced deployment of four Aegis-equipped US Naval vessels to Rota, Spain, in 2013.
What comprises a CSG and ESG
A carrier strike group (CSG) is typically comprised of one CSG staff, one aircraft carrier (CVN), one air wing (CVW), and one destroyer squadron (DESRON). Each of the organizations maintains it’s own intelligence structure. If a requirement exists that a flag or general officer command an ARG/MEU, the formation is referred to as an expeditionary strike group (ESG), which includes an embarked flag or general officer and their associated command element (CE) staff. Regardless of the Service orientation of the commander, the CE consists of both Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Additional surface combatants may or may not be assigned to an ARG/MEU or ESG.

Explain the difference between the levels of intelligence:
a) Strategic – National strategic intelligence is produced for the President, Congress, SECDEF, senior military leaders, and the CCDRs. It is used to develop national strategy and policy, monitor the international situation, prepare military plans, determine major weapon systems and force structure requirements, and conduct strategic operations.
b) Operational – Used to describe intelligence support to theater operational forces.
c) Tactical – Focuses on combat intelligence, which is used by commanders, planners, and operators for planning and conducting battles, engagements, and special missions.
Define and discuss OPINTEL and the intelligence cycle
Intelligence required for planning and conducting campaigns and major operations to accomplish strategic objectives within theaters or areas of operations. The process of gathering, evaluating, and using intelligence is known as the intelligence cycle. The cycle consists of 5 phases. (Planning and direction, collection, processing, production, and dissemination)
List and describe the Intelligence Disciplines used by OPINTEL Analysts and what do they provide.
ELINT (electronic intelligence), COMINT (communications intelligence), ACINT (acoustic intelligence), HUMINT (human intelligence), IMINT (imagery intelligence)
Describe the difference between Information and Intelligence.
Intelligence is processed information, meaning that several pieces of information are needed to be able to produce credible, reliable intelligence.
