    Study Notes

    Information Collection Tasking and Directing

    • Information collection tasking and directing is crucial for controlling limited collection assets and coordinating across all warfighting functions.
    • Redundancy, mix, and cues are recommended throughout the information collection process.
    • Planning starts after requirements are validated and prioritized.
    • Staffs use warning orders, fragmentary orders, and operation orders to issue tasks, and continuously monitor operations to direct collection assets.
    • Retasking refines, updates, or creates new requirements.

    Final Information Collection Plan

    • The information collection plan is the execution order to finalize a synchronized, efficient, and effective plan.
    • The plan should be updated during execution and assessment to ensure success.
    • The plan is implemented by tasking assets per the prioritized requirements.
    • Requirements clearly define what to collect (information needs, specific details), where to collect it (NAIs and TAIs), when and how long to collect, and why to collect (commander's critical information requirements).
    • The plan is issued in a warning order, operation order, or fragmentary order format.
    • Operations officers task and direct information collection assets.
    • The intelligence staff assists with developing the plan.
    • Annex L should task assets to begin collection based on the plan.

    Information Collection Overlay

    • Information collection overlays graphically display the plan in annex L of the operation order.
    • The overlay contains important items, such as: reconnaissance handover lines, friendly boundaries and phase lines, named areas of interest (NAIs), target areas of interest (TAIs), limits of advance/reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance areas, and fire support control measures.
    • Specific graphics may illustrate zones, routes, points, locations, and checkpoints.
    • The overlay details locations such as alternate observation posts, ambulance exchange points and logistic release points, planned obstacles, and unmanned aircraft system flight paths.

    Information Collection Scheme of Support

    • The scheme of support involves planning and executing operations to assist soldiers and units involved in information collection.
    • This includes aspects like fire support, movement, protection, and sustainment (logistics, personnel services etc.).
    • The operations officer approves and tasks units within the support structure.

    Update the Information Collection Plan

    • Evaluation data from information collected, reporting, production, and dissemination inform plan updates.
    • The information collection plan should adjust based on the current tactical situation.
    • The plan should synchronize collection tasks to optimize capabilities and support current and future operations.
    • Steps for plan update include synchronization, potentially adding or eliminating requirements, and retasking assets.

    Retask Assets

    • Staffs can issue orders to change existing collection asset tasks.
    • Retasking occurs when completing tasks, receiving new orders, or changes to timelines.
