Plan Requirements And Assessing Collection Flashcards
PRAC?
Is the task of analyzing requirements, evaluating available assets, recommending to the operations staff tasking for info collection assets, submitting RFI to adjacent or higher collection support, and assessing the effectiveness of the information collection plan.
4 Steps of PRAC
Development requirements
Develop planning requirement tools
Assess collection
Update Planning requirement tools
Steps of develop requirements
Participate in planning Anticipate requirements Analyze requirements (separate, record, consolidate, validate) >>>PIR and other IR Prioritize Refine requirements
What is refine requirements?
Using PIRs as a basis, S2 develop discrete groups. These groups further refine PIRs into areas or group/functions where information can be collected by collection assets and resources.
Facilitates matching requirements to collection asset capabilities while developing the planning requirements tools
Groups/functions (9)
Leadership Safe havens Movement Logistics Finance Intelligence collection Personnel Ideology Communication
What army processes does information collection support
MDMP, IPB, Targeting
Describe analyze requirements (4)
Separate, validate, record, consolidate
Steps of planning requirements tools?
Evaluate resources
Develop collection strategy(RFI, RFS, Match indicators to resources, SIR)
Develop supporting tools (ICM, ICSM
ICO)
Intel Reach/RFI/ SOR
- Conduct Intel reach
- Submit RFI
- What s left are IR=>SOR
Three collection strategy
Cueing: involves the use of one or more sensors sequentially to provide data that directs collection by other systems
Redundancy: involves the use of several of the same type of assets to cover the same NAI
Mixing: combination of different assets and capabilities covering the same area
SOR standard (8)
Which intelligence discipline REPORT What When Where LTIOV Who need it Why: intent and end state
Describe the developing requirements/ tools process
PIR indicators match assets SIR SOR
Develop supporting tools (5)
ICM ICSM ICO Planning requirement briefing tool NAI and TAI
Named Area of Interest (2)
The geographical area where information that will satisfy a SIR can be collected
Developed during IPB
Target Area of Interest (2)
An area or point along an infiltration route or corridor…successful interdiction causes destruction or abandon of a particular coa
Significant because they constitute a basis for allocation or attack resources
