INTGELLIGENCE AS WARFIGHTING FUNCTION
Intelligence is critical to unified land operations and decisive action. The Army has made tremendous progress over the last ten years by utilizing lessons learned to improve the intelligence warfighting function. Intelligence enables mission command, and mission command facilitates initiative and allows commanders and staffs to execute tailored solutions for complex problems in a fast-paced environment. The synergistic relationship between intelligence and all of the warfighting functions ensures the Army remains the dominant land force in the world.
As a warfighting function, intelligence is inherently joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational. Army intelligence leverages the larger intelligence enterprise, partnered with and supported by the U.S. intelligence community. Ready access to the intelligence enterprise via the network provides the Army situational understanding and enables decisionmaking.
This publication provides a common construct for intelligence support in complex operational environments and a framework to support unified land operations across the range of military operations. It serves as the intelligence doctrinal foundation for our Army. Every Soldier and those Army civilians who interact with the intelligence warfighting function, not just intelligence professionals, should understand these principles of Army intelligence.
