CDASA Topic 2 UPDATED ACTUAL Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
____________________________ is the analytical process used by joint intelligence
organizations and other intelligence products in support of the Joint Force Commander's
decisionmaking process. - CORRECT ANSWER - Joint Intelligence Preparation of the
Operational Environment (JIPOE)
True or False: JIPOE and IPB products are generally the same in purpose, focus, and level of
detail. - CORRECT ANSWER - False. The JIPOE supports the Joint Force Commander
(JFC) by determining the probable intent and most likely adversary COA and other relevant
actors throughout the OE (macro approach); IPB supports the individual operations of the
component commands (micro approach). JIPOE and IPB analyses support each other while
avoiding a duplication of analytic effort.
The purpose of JIPOE is to support the JFC by determining the probable
____________________________ and most likely ____________________________ for the
adversary and other relevant actors throughout the OE, whereas the IPB is specifically designed
to support the individual operations of the component commands.
a. Intent and COA
b. Threat and COA
c. Capacity and intent
d. None of the above - CORRECT ANSWER - a. Intent and COA
What are the four steps of the JIPOE process? - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Define the
Operational Environment
2. Describe impact of the Operational Environment
3. Evaluate adversary and other relevant actors
4. Determine the COA for the adversary and other relevant actor COAs
In Step 1 of the JIPOE process, the joint force staff assists the JFC and component commanders
in defining the OE. There are components 7 components of Step 1; which are described below?
Select all that apply.
