    Study Notes

    Part One: Fundamentals

    • Effective doctrine for intelligence and operations is sequential, beginning with fundamental concepts and progressing to detailed discussions. Part I of FM 2-0 focuses on intelligence and operational fundamentals and their application across Army strategic contexts.
    • Part I includes three chapters.
    • The chapters emphasize the intelligence warfighting function and its tasks (IWFTs).
    • They also include the intelligence process, capabilities, fighting for intelligence, understanding operational environments (OEs), multidomain operations, large-scale combat operations, operational tenets/imperatives, and operational frameworks.
    • The chapters integrate intelligence into operations and emphasize fighting for intelligence within and across Army strategic contexts.

    Chapter 1: Intelligence

    • Intelligence is the product of collecting, processing, integrating, evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting information about foreign nations, hostile forces, or areas of operations.
    • Intelligence activities produce this product.
    • Intelligence organizations execute these activities.
    • Intelligence can be viewed as a function, product, or process supporting commanders and command/control.
    • The purpose of intelligence is to provide timely, accurate, relevant, predictive, and tailored intelligence about threats and other OE aspects to commanders and staffs.
    • Intelligence supports the conduct of military operations and force generation.
    • Effective intelligence provides commanders with accurate situational understanding.

    Additional Notes: Intelligence as a Product

    • Intelligence products are categorized into eight categories.
    • These categories may overlap.
    • Categories like warning intelligence are those activities intended to report time-sensitive information about foreign developments to warn of hostile actions.
    • Current intelligence is an integrated effort on the area of operations with timely information for operations.
    • General military intelligence regards the military capabilities of foreign countries.
    • Target intelligence describes targets and their vulnerabilities.
    • Scientific and technical intelligence includes foreign developments in basic and applied research and engineering techniques.
    • Counterintelligence identifies and counters foreign intelligence activities like espionage, sabotage, and assassinations.
    • Estimative intelligence projects future events and enemy intentions in order of probability.
    • Identity intelligence identifies individuals, groups, or populations of interest.

    Characteristics of Effective Intelligence

    • Effective intelligence is characterized by being timely, relevant, accurate, and predictive.
    • Army uses additional characteristics: accurate, timely, useable, complete, precise, and secure.
