How military intelligence supports logistics operations, including supply chain analysis, transportation security, and risk assessment.
Strategic Intelligence: It involves the use of intelligence to inform decisions on long-term strategies and planning activities.
Tactical Intelligence: This type of intelligence supports immediate requirements and assists in the execution of missions.
Signals Intelligence: It includes the interception and analysis of signals such as wireless communications, electronic emissions from radars, and other electronic devices to create actionable intelligence.
Imagery Intelligence: It is defined as the collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination of imagery information about the adversary, terrain, or environment.
All-source Intelligence: This requires the collection and analysis of all available sources of intelligence, crossing the intelligence disciplines.
Logistics Intelligence: This knowledge is critical in supporting logistics activities during military deployments, such as ensuring the availability of supplies and the deployment of troops to the right places.
Planning and Operations: This involves developing strategies and techniques to assess and respond to intelligence and logistical challenges.
Geospatial Intelligence: Its use includes the production of maps, imagery, and other geospatial data to support military operations.
Human Intelligence: It involves the use of intelligence gathered from human sources (HUMINT) to provide key operational insights.
Intelligence Tradecraft: The development of knowledge and expertise to perform intelligence activities and stay ahead of adversaries.
Imagery Intelligence (IMINT): Gathering, analyzing, and exploiting visual information from satellite and aerial sources.
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT): Interception, analysis, and exploitation of signals, including electronic, radio, and other emanations that are used on or above the battlefield.
Human Intelligence (HUMINT): Intelligence derived from human sources such as agents, informants, prisoners, and defectors.
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT): Intelligence derived from the exploitation of geospatial data, which includes both imagery and non-imagery sources.
Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT): Intelligence that derives from specific technical or scientific measurements and signatures, including infrared, acoustic, and radioactive sources.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Intelligence derived from publicly available sources such as news articles, social media, and academic literature.
Cyber Intelligence (CYBINT): Intelligence that relates to the domain of cyberspace and the exploitation of the capabilities of the cyber domain.
Counterintelligence (CI): Activities taken to prevent or obstruct espionage or sabotage.
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance System (ISR): The collection, analysis, and dissemination of information gathered by sensors and other systems that enable commanders to plan, direct, and execute military operations.
Technical Intelligence (TECHINT): The intelligence gathered from analyzing technical data such as blueprints, schematics, and manuals to develop an understanding of the enemy's technology and capabilities.
