6 Categories of Joint Intelligence Process Planning & Direction Collection Processing & Exploitation Analysis & Production Dissemination & Integration Evaluation & Feedback Joint Intelligence Process Overview Provides basis for common intelligence terminology and procedures; facilitates understanding of intelligence operations and interrelationships Joint Intelligence Planning--Planning & Direction founded on Commander's mission/intent; basis for identifying intelligence gaps in operation environment and adversary Joint Intelligence Planning--Collection tasking assets/resources to acquire data and information to satisfy requirements Joint Intelligence Planning--Processing & Exploitation converts raw data into information Joint Intelligence Planning--Analysis & Production integrates, evaluates, analyzes, interprets information into finished intelligence Joint Intelligence Planning--Dissemination sends finished intelligence to the customer who integrates into decision-making and planning Joint Intelligence Planning--Evaluation Strategic Intelligence Assists in developing national strategy and policy; global situations; military plans; force structure requirements; Senior Military and civilian leaders; CCMD CDRs Operational Intelligence Military capabilities and intentions of enemies; analyze the operational environment; identify enemy COG & critical vulnerabilities; plan/conduct joint campaigns; Combatant and Subordinate JFCs & Component Commanders Tactical Intelligence support planning and execution of battles; provide commanders information on imminent threats to forces & changes in operational environment; Commanders Operational Environment A Composite of the Conditions, Circumstances, and Influences that affect the Employment of Capabilities and Bear on the decisions of the Commander CCIRS are comprised of PIRs and FFIRs JIPOE Continuous process by which the J2 manages analysis & development of products for CDR to understand the operational environment; identifies enemy COAs & capabilities 4 Steps of JIPOE Define the Operational Environment Describe the impact of Operational Environment Evaluate adversary Determine adversary COAs JIPOE Step 1: Define the Operational Environment Identify Joint Force Operational area; analyze mission and joint force command intent; determine significant characteristics of OE; determine intel priorities, gaps, and shortfalls; collect material submit RFI JIPOE Step 2: Describe the Impact of the Operational Environment Evaluate/describe broad COAs and impact of operational environment on adversary/friendly/neutral military capabilities; final result is preliminary prioritization of adversary COAs JIPOE Step 3: Evaluate Adversary & Other Relevant Actors Adversary capabilities and limitations; current situation; COGs; adversary doctrine, patterns, TTPs JIPOE Step 4: Determine Adversary & Other Actors COAs Detailed understanding of adversary and other intent & strategy; analyzes pol-mil situation, strategic and operational capabilities, socio-economic characteristics to determine end state; COAs ranked in order of likely adoption; collection requirements developed on specific activies Categories of Intelligence Products: Warning Warns about threat Categories of Intelligence Products: Current Intelligence supports on-going operations Categories of Intelligence Products: General Military Intelligence military capabilities of foreign govts Categories of Intelligence Products: Target Intelligence locates a target/complex, identifies vulnerabilities/importance of target
