Inteligence Module Flashcards
Intelligence is a… (PFP)
Process - cyclical
Function - something we must do
Product - synthesis based on analysis or relevant Information
Purpose of Intelligence
Inform Commander and decision-makers
Helps the CDR to understand OE
Provide SA
What is Intelligence PED?
Process = collecting
Exploit = analyzing
Disseminate = pass out INTEL
INTEL Disciplines

Intelligence Authorities
- Executive order 12333
- Executive order 12333
- PRES Ronald Reagan Signed Dec 1982
- A framework to contain INTEL
- Congressional Oversight
- prohibited collection of US persons
National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004
- Product of 9/11 commission
- Amended the national security act of 1947
- Created the Director National Intelligence (DNI)
Office of Director National Intelligence (ODNI) has how many subordinate agencies
16 + 1 subordinate agencies
What are Titles, Authorities, Permissions
Titles = derived from US code (Title 50 is INTEL Activity, Title 10 is Military Operations)
Authorities = derived from Executive Orders for Military
Permission = concurrence to action authority (CONOPS)
3x Key Principles to Joint INTEL (IC)
*(SPP)
- Synchronization (S2/S3 Fusion)
- Prioritization (CCIR/PIR)
- Prediction (Indicators)
What is Army Intelligence
- A War Fighting Function
- CDR Drives INTEL
- Facilitates OPS = OPS support INTEL
Why is “Timely“, as a characteristic of effective intelligence important
Intelligence provided early supports operations and prevents surprise from threat actions. It must flow continuously to the commander before, during, and after an operation.
Explain the purpose of the intelligence warfighting function
The Intelligence Warfighting Function facilitates understanding the enemy, terrain, and civil considerations.
** What are the four primary tasks within the intelligence warfighting function **
○ Support to force generation
○ Support to situational understanding
○ Conduct Information Collection
○ Support to targeting and information superiority

Intelligence Requirement (IR)
Any subject, general or specific, upon which there is a need for the collection of information or the production of intelligence
Commanders Critical Information Requirement (CCIR)
commander’s critical information requirement is an information requirement identified by the
commander as being critical to facilitating timely decision-making
two key elements of CCIR are:
○ Priority Intelligence Requirements
○ Friendly Force Information Requirements
Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR)
identify the information about the enemy
Friendly Force Information Requirement (FFIR)
information the commander and staff need to understand the status of friendly force and supporting capabilities
Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFI)
critical aspect of a friendly operation that, if known by the enemy, would subsequently compromise, lead to failure, or limit the success of the operation and therefore should be protected from enemy detection
* Equally Important to CCIR*
Describe LTIOV
Last Time Information is Of Value
Steps to Manage the Intelligence Process
4x(PCP-D) + 1(AA)
- Plan and Direct
- Collect
- Produce
- Disseminate
(Continuous) = Analyze and Assess
What are Indicators
- Reflects intention or capability of an adversary to
- adopt or reject COA
- positive or negative information
- confirm or deny something…
Functional vs Predictive analysis
Functional is a forcing function like logistics/sustainment. can be used to ID indicators which will lead to predictive analysis
Specific Information Requirements (SIR)
Specific information that will provide an answer to each intelligence requirement or satisfy an indicator.
Provides the *what, *when, and *where to look for in order to facilitate collection asset selection (Specific Orders / Request)
Specific Orders Request (SOR)
Translated SIR into an order/request given to a collector, asset, and/or unit
Information Collection (7x Steps)
- Commander’s Input
- Staff Input
- Requirements Development
a. Prioritize PIR - Develop Requirement Planning Tools
a. Data Management
b. SIR - Tasking and Directing Information Collection (SOR)
(Step 5.5 Collect) - Assess Execution of Tasks
a. measure Performance
b. measure effectiveness - Update Requirements Planning Tools
