MOD B Flashcards
What is Intelligence
Intelligence is both a function and a process that enables the Army to conduct ULO
What does the Intelligence Warfighting Function do?
executes the INTELLIGENCE PROCESS by employing the INTELLIGENCE DISCIPLINES to produce the INTELLIGENCE PRODUCTS
Intel and JIIM
Intelligence is inherently JIIM and leverages the intelligence enterprise
What is the purpose of Intelligence?
To support commanders and staffs in gaining situational understanding of Operational Environment (OE)
What does Intelligence support?
supports the planning, execution, and assessment of operations (Operations Process)
What is the most important role of intelligence?
to support commanders and decision makers
Relationship of Data, Information, and Intelligence
OE + (Collection) = Data
Data + (Processing and Exploitation) = Information
Information + (Analysis and Production) = Intelligence
The Intelligence Process Cycle
- Plan and Direct
- Collect
- Produce
- Disseminate
Continuously Analyze and Assess
Indicator
-an item of information that reflects the intention or capability of an adversary “to adopt or reject a COA”. Predictive analysis.
Indicator
-an item of information that reflects the intention or capability of an adversary “to adopt or reject a COA”. Predictive analysis.
Specific Information Requirements (SIR)
- Indicators in question form
- Provides what, when, where to look for to facilitate collection asset selection
- Detailed as possible
- SIR for each IR based on it
Specific Orders Request (SOR)
an order/task given to a collector, asset, or unit designated to answer SIR.
“Report one or more vehicles or one or more personnel crossing the border IVO PQ4538”
Named Area of Interest (NAI)
a city, section of a border, a point on a mobility corridor large enough to encompass activity. Also consider assets available
Target Area of Interest (TAI)
an area or point along an infiltration route or a mobility corridor; point within an NAI
Collection Requirements Management (CRM)
- Development and control of collection, processing, exploitation, and/or reporting requirements resulting in:
- direct tasking of assets of which the collection manager has authority
- or-
- The generation of tasking requests to collection management authorities
- Defines what intelligence systems must collect
- Develops SIR/SOR sets from teh consolidated, validated, and prioritized list of PIR/IR, CDRs intent, objectives, and the current situation
Collection Operations Management (COM)
- Direction, scheduling, and control of specific collection operations and associated processing, exploitation, and reporting resources
- Includes the selection and tasking of specific assets and sensors
- COM process develops details to specify how the collection occurs
- Synchronizes the timing of collection with the operational scheme of maneuver and with other intelligence operations: processing and exploitation, analysis and production, dissemination
- Selects assets best suited to collect the information needed to satisfy the SIR
Develop Requirements
- Participate in Planning
- Anticipate Requirements
- Analyze Requirements
- Separate
- Record

- Consolidate
- Prioritize
- Significance
- Time Phasing

- capability
- sustainability
- vulnerability
- Develop a Collection Strategy
- submit requests
- support
