104.1 Define intelligence and discuss the differences of intelligence at each level of war.
- Intelligence is the product resulting from the collection, exploitation, processing, integration, analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of available information concerning foreign countries or areas.
- Integration and analysis, combined with a thorough understanding of mission requirements, convert information into usable intelligence. Thus, Intelligence is the product we derive from analyzing all available and relevant information.
- Strategic IntelRequired for policy and national plans.
- -Oriented to national objectives, capabilities and intent of adversaries
- Operational Intel
- Required for planning within regional theaters and operational areas
- -concentrates on intel collection, identification, location, and analysis of adversaries critical vulnerabilities.
- Tactical Intel
- Required for tactical operators
- -focuses on adversary's immediate intentions for combat missions
-
104.2 Discuss the differences and relationship between data, information and intelligence.
- Data - Individual Observations
- -raw, individual, and unarguable facts.
- Information - Useful collection of Data
- -the combination of data into a form that can answer an everyday question
- Intelligence - combines information to form a predictive narrative that enables better decision-making
- -the combination of information into a form that tells a story and informs decisions
-
104.3 Discuss the importance of the intelligence cycle, explaining each phase and the importance of continual evaluation and feedback.
- Intel CycleTasking & Direction- Identify requirements
- - Planning intel opsCollection- Match intel requirements to intelligence capabilities that nest address the need
- - Using organic, attached, and supporting intel sources to collectProcessing & Exploitation- Converting raw data into information and disseminating it in a form suitable to feed intelligence analysis
- Analysis & Production
- Transforming processed and evaluated information into intelligence - -Prep intel product in support of known or anticipated requirements
- Dissemination and Integration
-Providing timely intelligence, in appropriate form, to those who need it
- Feedback and evaluationEnsures efficiency and effectiveness of intel ops
-
103.4 Define the categories of intelligence and discuss each category’s focus and purpose.
- HUMINT
- GEOINT
- SIGINT
- MASINT
- OSINT
-
104.5 Discuss the principles of Naval Intelligence and explain their significance in providing effective intelligence support to operations.
-
104.6 Identify the characteristics of intelligence excellence, and discuss some of the challenges that affect the production of intelligence.
A3COURT
- Anticipatory
- Accurate
- Available
- Complete
- Objective
- Useable
- Relevant
- Timely
-
104.7 Discuss the Maritime Operational Environment and the Navy’s Core Capabilities. Describe the key role intelligence plays in enabling those capabilities.
- Maritime Operational Environment
- Oceans, seas, bays, estuaries, islands, coastal areas, and airspace above these, including litorals.
- Also includes the seabed, subsurface, surface, air, and adjacent land
- Navy Core Capabilities
- Forward Presence
- Deterrance
- Sea Control
- Power Projection
- Maritime Security
- Strategic Sealift
- Seabasing
- Homeland Security Support
- Foreign Humanitarian Assistance
-
104.8 Discuss the push and pull control principles of intelligence.
- Push - dissemination of intelligence from one organization to:
- -respond to RFI
- -provide threat warning
- -push intel the pushing org deems relevant for the receiving organization.
Pull - direct electronic access to database. End user can use the data as they need to answer their own question/needs
-
104.9 List and discuss the four phases of Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment.
- 1. Define the operational Environment
- 2. Describe the impact of the operational environment
- 3. Evaluate the adversary and other relevant factors
- 4. Determine adversary and other relevant actor courses of action.
-
104.10 Describe the following intelligence products, and how they are utilized to support planning, and IPOE:
a. GEOINT products
-
104.10 Describe the following intelligence products, and how they are utilized to support planning, and IPOE:
b. Hydrographic products
-
104.10 Describe the following intelligence products, and how they are utilized to support planning, and IPOE:
c. Aeronautical products
-
104.11 Discuss intelligence support to operational planning.
- Navy planning process is a six-step process that enables commanders to:
- -effectively plan for and execute operations
- -ensure that the employment of forces is linked to objectives
- -integrate naval operations seamlessly with the action of a joint force.
- 1. Mission Analysis
- 2. Course of Action Development
- 3. Course of Action Analysis (wargame)
- 4. Course of Action Comparison and Decision
- 5. Plans and Orders development
- 6. Transition (from plan to execute)
-
104.12 Describe the purpose of a red-team in operational planning.
Red team acts as the adversary when developing plans, COAs, and wargaming as to give accurate descriptions/responses that could be expected by the adversary.
-
104.13 Describe the importance of recognizing analytic pitfalls, to include:
a. Biases of evaluation or sources
b. Biases in perception of cause and effect
c. Biases in estimating probabilities
d. Confirmation bias
e. Framing bias
f. Status quo thinking
- Bias based on source/eval can cause an intelligence personnel to overlook and/or discredit the intel.
- Bias of cause/effect can lead to the wrong cause and analysis, wasting valuable time.
- Bias of estimating probability can lead to wrong COA assessment
- Confirmation bias is the need to have your assessment be proven right, leading you to find the intel that supports your position (even when there is none)
- Framing bias is framing the information to make it fit your narrative
- Status quo thinking leads to stale results - the adversary is always evolving; we can't always think that because they did it one way in the past, that's how they'll always do it.
-
104.14 Describe the purpose of analytical models, techniques and processes.
- Provides a baseline to work form, based on historical data.
- Using same techniques and process keeps consistency
-
104.15 Describe and discuss an analysis of competing hypotheses, to include specific components.
-
104.16 Discuss the factors that impact analytic judgments and the guidelines for likeliness
terms and confidence levels used in assessments.
