MOD 3 - CGSC SPRING 2022 EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
What is intelligence?
Intelligence is a product, a process, and a function.
What is the "product" of intelligence?
The Product: Intelligence is (1) the product resulting from the collection, processing,
integration, evaluation, analysis, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign
nations, hostile or potentially hostile forces or elements, or areas of actual or potential
operations; (2) the activities the result in the product; and (3) the organizations engaged in such
activities. (JP 2-0)
What is the "process" of intelligence?
The Process: The intelligence process provides a common framework for Army professional to
guide their thoughts, discussions, plans, and assessments. The design and structure of the process
support commanders by providing intelligence needed to support command and control and the
commander’s situational understanding. The Army's intelligence process consists of four steps -
plan and direct, collect and process, produce, and disseminate - and two continuing activities -
analyze and assess. (ADP 2-0)
What is the "function" of intelligence?
The Function: The intelligence warfighting functions is the related tasks and systems that
facilitate understanding the enemy, terrain, weather, civil considerations, and other significant
aspects of the operational environment. (ADP 3-0)
What is the purpose of intelligence?
To support commanders (and in some cases other decision makers) and staffs by providing
situational understanding of the threat, terrain and weather, civil considerations, and other
aspects of the operational environment with analysis and production of effective timely,
relevant, accurate, and predictive assessments and products tailored to the commander’s and
staff’s specific needs (ADP 2-0).
What is the definition of Intelligence core competencies?
The intelligence core competencies are the most basic activities and tasks the Army uses
to describe and drive the intelligence warfighting function and leverage national to tactical
intelligence
What are the Intelligence core competencies?
, 1.Intelligence synchronization (synchronized): The art of integrating information collection;
intelligence processing, exploitation, and dissemination; and intelligence analysis with
operations to effectively and efficiently fight for intelligence in support of decision making.
2.Intelligence operations (collection): The tasks undertaken by military intelligence units
through the intelligence disciplines to obtain information to satisfy validated requirements.
3.Intelligence PED (process and exploits): The execution of the related functions that converts
and refines collected data into usable information, distributes the information for further
analysis, and, when appropriate, provides combat information to commanders and staffs.
4.Intelligence analysis (analysis and production): The process by which collected information is
evaluated and integrated with existing information to facilitate intelligence production.
What is the PED intelligence process?
Processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED)* capabilities are also necessary to process
information and prepare it for subsequent analysis.
What is all-source intelligence?
All-source intelligence is the integration of intelligence and information from all relevant
sources in order to analyze situations or conditions that impact operations. In joint doctrine, all-
source intelligence is intelligence products and/or organizations and activities that incorporate all
sources of information in the production of finished intelligence (JP 2-0).
Define "analysis" within context of All-Source Intelligence.
Analysis: The fundamentals of all-source intelligence analysis comprise intelligence analysis
techniques and the all-source analytical tasks: situation development, generating intelligence
knowledge, IPB, and support to targeting and information operations.
Define "production" within context of All-Source Intelligence.
Production: All-source intelligence production is continuous and occurs throughout the
intelligence and operations processes. Most of the products from all-source intelligence are
initially developed during planning and updated, as needed, throughout preparation and
execution based on information gained from continuous assessment.
What are the 4 IC tasks or operations?
1.Reconnaissance - a mission undertaken to obtain, by visual observation or other detection
methods, information about the activities and resources of an enemy or adversary, or to secure
data concerning the meteorological, hydrographic, or geographic characteristics of a particular
area.
2.Surveillance - the systematic observation of aerospace, surface, or subsurface areas, places,
persons, or things, by visual, aural, electronic, photographic, or other means; involves observing
an area to collect information. The types of surveillance are—Zone, Area, Point, and Network.
