This topic covers the role of intelligence in military operations, including the use of intelligence to support military strategy, coordination, and decision-making.
Intelligence Cycle: A process in which information is collected, analyzed, and disseminated to support decision-making processes.
Intelligence Analysis: A process of examining information from various sources to extract meaning and draw inferences.
Intelligence Collection Techniques: Various methods used to gather information, including human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), and open source intelligence (OSINT).
Intelligence Fusion: The process of combining and analyzing data from various sources in order to produce a comprehensive intelligence picture.
Intelligence Dissemination: The sharing of intelligence with decision-makers and other stakeholders to support decision-making.
Intelligence Support to Military Operations: The use of intelligence to inform and support military planning and operations.
Counterintelligence: The practice of identifying and preventing intelligence operations by opposing forces.
Intelligence Ethics: The ethical considerations involved in intelligence collection and analysis.
Intelligence Oversight: The mechanisms in place to monitor and regulate intelligence activities and ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards.
Technical Intelligence: The use of advanced technology to collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence.
Targeting: The process of identifying and selecting targets for military operations based on intelligence analysis.
Psychological Operations: The use of propaganda and other methods to influence the behavior and attitudes of opposing forces and civilian populations.
Deception: The use of false information and other methods to mislead opposing forces and conceal military intentions.
Intelligence Sharing: The coordination and sharing of intelligence among allied forces and other stakeholders.
Intelligence Community: The network of government agencies and organizations involved in intelligence activities.
Human Intelligence (HUMINT): Gathering intelligence through direct contact with human sources, debriefing, or interrogations.
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT): Using electronic intercepts to gather intelligence.
Imagery Intelligence (IMINT): Collection and analysis of imagery captured from satellites, drones, or other remote sensing platforms.
Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT): Collection and analysis of data from non-imaging sensors to detect anomalies or signatures indicative of enemy activity.
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): Intelligence gathered from publicly available information.
Cyber Intelligence (CYBINT): Intelligence relating to the use of digital technologies and the internet.
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT): Collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence about spatially-related phenomena, including terrain, infrastructure, human populations, and weather patterns.
Financial Intelligence (FININT): Gathering intelligence about money trails or financial transactions that relate to criminal or terrorist activities.
Technical Intelligence (TECHINT): Intelligence gathered from technical devices for sensitive information.
Social Network Analysis (SNA): A technique for analyzing social networks to identify relationships and patterns of activity.
Counterintelligence (CI): Protecting one's own intelligence gathering efforts against enemy attacks and espionage.
All-Source Intelligence: Combining the various forms of intelligence to provide comprehensive intelligence that will support decision-making.
"This aim is achieved by providing an assessment of data from a range of sources, directed towards the commanders' mission requirements or responding to questions as part of operational or campaign planning."
"Areas of study may include the operational environment, hostile, friendly, and neutral forces, the civilian population in an area of combat operations, and other broader areas of interest."
"To provide an analysis, the commander's information requirements are first identified, which are then incorporated into intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination."
"Intelligence activities are conducted at all levels, from tactical to strategic, in peacetime, the period of transition to war, and during a war itself."
"Most governments maintain a military intelligence capability to provide analytical and information collection personnel in both specialist units and from other arms and services."
"The military and civilian intelligence capabilities collaborate to inform the spectrum of political and military activities."
"Personnel performing intelligence duties may be selected for their analytical abilities and personal intelligence before receiving formal training."
