IFPC Topic Area 5 How is Intelligence Conducted 2023/2024

IFPC Topic Area 5 How is Intelligence ConductedISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) - correct answer An activity that synchronizes and integrates the planning and operations of sensors, assets, processing, exploitation, and dissemination systems in direct support of current and future operations Intelligence Requirements - correct answer Any subject general or specific, upon which there is a need for the collection of information or the production of intelligence. Information Requirements - correct answer An intelligence usage, those items of information regarding the adversary and other relevant aspects of the operational environment that need to be collected and processed in order to meet the intelligence requirements of a commander. Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR) - correct answer An intelligence requirement stated as a priority for intelligence support that the commander and staff need to understand the adversary or operational environment Essential Element of Information (EEI) - correct answer The most critical information requirements regarding the adversary and the environment needed by the commander by a particular time to relate with other available information and intelligence in order to reach a logical decision What are the Phases of the Intelligence Cycle - correct answer 1. Planning and Direction 2. Collection 3. Processing and Exploitation 4. Analysis and Production 5. Dissemination and Integration 6. Evaluation and Feedback Planning and Direction - correct answer The development of intelligence plans and the continuous management of their execution. Collection - correct answer Includes those activities related to the acquisition of data required to satisfy the requirements specified in the collection strategy. Processing and exploitation - correct answer Where raw collected data is converted into forms that can be readily used by commanders, decision makers at all levels, intelligence analysts and other consumers. Analysis and Production - correct answer The product of multidiscipline fusion effort is all-source intelligence. All source intelligence should comply with Intelligence Community Directive #203 Analytic Standards Dissemination and Integration - correct answer Timely dissemination of critical information and finished intelligence to appropriate consumers is paramount to attaining and maintaining information superiority Evaluation and Feedback - correct answer Occurs continuously throughout the intelligence process and is an assessment of the intelligence process as a whole Categories of Intelligence Products - correct answer • Warning intelligence • Current intelligence • General military intelligence • Target intelligence • Scientific and technical intelligence • Counterintelligence • Estimative intelligence • Identify intelligence List the Primary Joint Intelligence Support Functions: - correct answer · Aids the commander · Intelligence planning to support the joint force commander decision-making needs. · Early warning of the potential adversarial elements in the operational environment. · Joint intelligence preparation of the operational environment using resources to evaluate the adversary and other relevant activities. · Provides intelligence planning that enables interoperability and information sharing. · Supports fusion of single-source information, and feeds decision-making tools. · Continuous maintenance of intelligence data. · Identifies gaps in information and formulates strategies. · Provides target intelligence. · Direct intelligence liaison support to joint force staff functions. What are the roles of joint intelligence? - correct answer • Joint intelligence doctrine describes the roles and relationships of intelligence organizations at the national, combat support agency (CSA), combatant command (CCMD), and subordinate joint force levels. • The intelligence directorates of a joint staff (J-2s), CCMD joint intelligence operations centers (JIOCs), subordinate joint force J-2s, and joint intelligence support elements (JISEs) are all parts of a mutually supporting intelligence enterprise. • This intelligence enterprise supports the joint force commander (JFC) through intelligence federation in order to accomplish intelligence support missions. • The goal is to maximize intelligence support to military operations by increasing the efficiency of the intelligence process and the effectiveness of the intelligence organizations that support the JFC. • The objective of joint intelligence operations is to provide accurate and timely intelligence to commanders.
