Intelligence. As soon as practical, JFCs and their staffs determine intelligence requirements to support the anticipated operation.Intelligence planners also consider the capability for a unit to receive external intelligence support, the capability to store intelligence data, the timeliness of intelligence products, the availability of intelligence publications, and the possibility of using other agencies and organizations as intelligence sources. In some contingencies (e.g., PKO), the term information collection is used rather than the term intelligence because of the operation’s sensitivity.
