Q

Commanders Critical Information Requirement (CCIR)

A

commander’s critical information requirement is an information requirement identified by the
commander as being critical to facilitating timely decision-making

17
Q

two key elements of CCIR are:

A

○ Priority Intelligence Requirements

○ Friendly Force Information Requirements

18
Q

Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR)

A

identify the information about the enemy

19
Q

Friendly Force Information Requirement (FFIR)

A

information the commander and staff need to understand the status of friendly force and supporting capabilities

20
Q

Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFI)

A

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*

21
Q

Describe LTIOV

A

Last Time Information is Of Value

22
Q

Steps to Manage the Intelligence Process

4x(PCP-D) + 1(AA)

A
  1. Plan and Direct
  2. Collect
  3. Produce
  4. Disseminate

(Continuous) = Analyze and Assess

23
Q

What are Indicators

A
  • Reflects intention or capability of an adversary to
  • adopt or reject COA
  • positive or negative information
  • confirm or deny something…
24
Q

Functional vs Predictive analysis

A

Functional is a forcing function like logistics/sustainment. can be used to ID indicators which will lead to predictive analysis

25
Q

Specific Information Requirements (SIR)

A

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)

26
Q

Specific Orders Request (SOR)

A

Translated SIR into an order/request given to a collector, asset, and/or unit

27
Q

A
  1. Commander’s Input
  2. Staff Input
  3. Requirements Development
    a. Prioritize PIR
  4. Develop Requirement Planning Tools
    a. Data Management
    b. SIR
  5. Tasking and Directing Information Collection (SOR)
    (Step 5.5 Collect)
  6. Assess Execution of Tasks
    a. measure Performance
    b. measure effectiveness
  7. Update Requirements Planning Tools
