18
Q

What is Situation Awareness?

A

is the study and analysis of information that leads to an understanding of the situation.

19
Q

What is understanding?

A

Understanding is the result of applying human judgment based on individual experience, expertise, and intuition to gain a full appreciation of the battlespace

20
Q

What is an example of a C2 support structure?

A

A

allow us to make better decisions

23
Q

What is the goal of info management?

A

is to facilitate a rapid, unconstrained flow of useful information throughout an organization

24
Q

What is Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR)?

A

are tools for the commander to reduce information gaps generated by uncertainties that he may have concerning his own force, the enemy threat, or the environment.

25
Q

What is the Information Management Officer (IMO)responsible for?

A
  • Establish policy and procedures for information management (IM)
  • Coordinate the CCIR process
  • If you do not have an IMO you will be one for your team.
