"Military intelligence is a military discipline that uses information collection and analysis approaches to provide guidance and direction to assist commanders in their decisions."
The gathering, analysis and dissemination of information about an adversary's military capabilities, intentions and activities.
Intelligence Cycle: The process of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information to support military operations.
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT): Collection and analysis of communications and other signals to gain information about the enemy.
Human Intelligence (HUMINT): Collection of information from human sources, such as spies or informants.
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT): Analysis of satellite imagery and other geospatial data to gain information about the enemy’s movements, positions, and infrastructure.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Gathering and analyzing publicly available information to support military operations.
Intelligence Fusion: Integrating multiple sources of intelligence to create a comprehensive picture of the enemy’s capabilities and intentions.
Psychological Operations (PSYOPS): Using communication and propaganda to influence enemy behavior and support military objectives.
Counterintelligence: Identifying and countering efforts by the enemy to collect intelligence on your own forces.
Cybersecurity and Cyber Intelligence: Identifying and mitigating cyber threats that can compromise military operations.
Military Decision Making Process (MDMP): A standardized framework for military planning and decision-making that incorporates intelligence analysis.
Intelligence Support to Targeting (ISR): The process of providing intelligence to air, land, and naval forces to support the targeting of enemy forces and infrastructure.
Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB): An analytical process of evaluating the enemy's capabilities and intentions, terrain, weather, and other factors to support military planning.
Counterinsurgency Intelligence: Providing intelligence support to counterinsurgency operations, focusing on understanding the local population, their attitudes, and motivations toward the insurgency.
Intelligence in Joint Operations: Coordinating intelligence efforts across multiple military services (Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.) to support joint military operations.
Intelligence Oversight and Ethics: Ensuring that intelligence operations and activities comply with legal and ethical standards, and protecting the privacy and civil liberties of individuals.
Signal intelligence (SIGINT): Involves the collection, analysis, and exploitation of signals, such as radio and electronic emissions.
Human intelligence (HUMINT): Involves the gathering of information through direct contact with individuals, typically through the use of agents or intelligence officers.
Imagery intelligence (IMINT): Involves the collection and analysis of visual data, including satellite and aerial photographs as well as video footage.
Measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT): Involves the collection and analysis of data that cannot be obtained through traditional intelligence methods, such as the detection of electromagnetic and radiation emissions.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT): Involves the collection and analysis of information that is openly available to the public, such as news reports or social media.
Cyber intelligence: Involves the collection and analysis of electronic data and communications, typically focused on computer networks and digital systems.
Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT): Involves the collection and analysis of geographical data, such as maps and satellite imagery, to provide intelligence on the physical terrain and environment.
Technical intelligence (TECHINT): Involves the collection and analysis of technical data related to weapons systems, such as the performance capabilities of a particular weapon.
Counterintelligence (CI): Involves the detection and prevention of foreign intelligence services or other entities that may be seeking to gather intelligence against military operations.
Financial intelligence: Involves the collection and analysis of financial data to identify funding sources, money laundering, and other financial activities associated with hostile individuals and organizations.
"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."
