The term is also applied to the activity that results in the product and to the organizations engaged in such activity.
*intelligence analysis

*intelligence operations
(Army) The tasks undertaken by military intelligence units and Soldiers to obtain information to satisfy validated requirements.
*intelligence reach
The activity by which intelligence organizations proactively and rapidly access information from, receive support from, and conduct direct collaboration and information sharing with other units and agencies, both within and outside the area of operations, unconstrained by geographic proximity, echelon, or command.
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
(Joint) An activity that synchronizes and integrates the planning and operation of sensors, assets, and processing, exploitation, and dissemination systems in direct support of current and future operations. This is an integrated intelligence and operations function.
*intelligence synchronization
The “art” of integrating information collection and intelligence analysis with operations to effectively and efficiently support decisionmaking.
intelligence warfighting function
The related tasks and systems that facilitate understanding the enemy, terrain, and civil considerations.
priority intelligence requirement
An intelligence requirement, stated as a priority for intelligence support, that the commander and staff need to understand the adversary or other aspects of the operational environment.
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
An operational environment is a composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of capabilities and bear on the decisions of the commander
UNIFIED LAND OPERATIONS
Unified action is the synchronization, coordination, and/or integration of the activities of governmental and nongovernmental entities with military operations to achieve unity of effort
COMBINED ARMS
Combined arms is the synchronized and simultaneous application of arms to achieve an effect greater than if each arm was used separately or sequentially

TASK-ORGANIZING
Task-organizing is the act of designing an operating force, support staff, or sustainment package of specific size and composition to meet a unique task or mission
INFORMATION COLLECTION
Information collection is an activity that synchronizes and integrates the planning and employment of sensors and assets as well as the processing, exploitation, and dissemination of systems in direct support of current and future operations
THE PURPOSE OF INTELLIGENCE
The purpose of intelligence is to support commanders and staffs in gaining situational understanding of threats, terrain and weather, and civil considerations. Intelligence supports the planning, preparing, execution, and assessment of operations.
adversary

THE INTELLIGENCE ENTERPRISE
The intelligence enterprise is the sum total of the intelligence efforts of the entire U.S. intelligence community.
who protects the intelligence available to the unit?
The G-2/S-2 staff must identify users who will require access to protected unit intelligence Web sites, Web postings, data files, and databases.
INTELLIGENCE SYNCHRONIZATION
Intelligence synchronization is the “art” of integrating information collection and intelligence analysis with operations to effectively and efficiently support decisionmaking.
Searches and Queries
The ability to search networks and query databases is an essential skill for intelligence professionals.
Data Mining
Data mining is finding key pieces of intelligence that may be buried in the mass of data available.
ALL-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE
All-source intelligence is the integration of intelligence and information from all relevant sources in order to analyze situations or conditions that impact operations.
DEPLOYMENT
Deployment is the movement of forces and materiel from their point of origin to an operational area.
REDEPLOYMENT
Redeployment is the process by which units and materiel reposture themselves in the same operational area, transfer forces and materiel to support another joint force commander’s operational requirements, or return personnel and materiel to the home or demobilization station upon completion of the mission.
