Study Notes
Mission Analysis
- Analyzes the friendly mission to identify specified, implied, and essential tasks.
- Considers constraints on military force application and restates the mission of the JFC.
- Aids in identifying possible follow-on missions.
Course of Action Development
- Considers factors like relative force ratios, initial force dispositions, and maneuver schemes.
- Develops a manageable number of friendly COAs while addressing adversary COAs.
- J-2 evaluates and prioritizes adversary COAs for integration with friendly COA development.
Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (JIPOE)
- Analytical process used by joint intelligence organizations to support JFC decision-making.
- Produces intelligence assessments, estimates, and other intelligence products.
JIPOE Process and Information Superiority
- Assists JFC in achieving information superiority through:
- Identification of adversary centers of gravity (COGs).
- Targeting intelligence collection effectively.
- Analyzing the operational environment's (OE) impacts on military operations.
Components of the Operational Environment
- Encompasses physical areas and factors.
- Includes the information environment: physical, informational, cognitive aspects, including cyberspace.
- Utilizes a systems perspective (PMESEII).
JIPOE Steps of Intelligence Process
- Intelligence Planning and Direction.
- Intelligence Collection.
- Processing and Exploitation.
- Analysis and Production.
- Dissemination and Integration.
- Evaluation and Feedback.
Defining the Operational Environment (Step 1)
- Identify the joint forces operational area.
- Analyze the mission and intent of the JFC.
- Determine significant characteristics of the OE.
- Outline limits of the Joint Force Area of Interest (AoI).
- Establish intelligence and information priorities, identifying gaps and shortfalls.
- Collect material and request information for further analysis.
Describing the Impact of the OE (Step 2)
- Develop a geospatial perspective of the OE and its systems.
- Evaluate how the OE affects adversary and friendly capabilities and broad courses of action.
Geospatial Perspective
- Analyzes physical, non-physical, and locational aspects relevant to the OE.
Methodology
- Defines a system as an interconnected network of elements that interact to form a cohesive whole.
Node
- Represents elements within a system that can be targeted for specific actions.
Link
- Represents relationships (technical, social, functional) between nodes.
Evaluating Adversary and Relevant Actors (Step 3)
- Update or create models of adversaries and relevant actors.
- Analyze the current situation of these actors, focusing on:
- Composition and disposition.
- Strength and training status.
- Tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP).
- Logistics and effectiveness.
Adversary/Relevant Actor Models
- Provide graphical depictions of adversary operations and preferred tactics.
- Identify high-value targets (HVTs).
Current Adversary Situation (Step 3 Substep 2)
- Utilizes intel sources to analyze composition, strength, and effectiveness of adversaries.
- Considers logistics and electronic tech data for comprehensive understanding.
Determining Adversary COAs (Step 4)
- Identifies adversary objectives and desired end states.
- Evaluates and prioritizes a complete set of potential COAs.
- Develops COAs to the extent feasible within available time.
- Establishes initial collection requirements for intelligence.
COA Criteria
- Suitability: potential effectiveness in achieving objectives.
- Feasibility: availability of time, space, and resources.
- Acceptability: risk levels aligned with adversary capabilities.
- Uniqueness: distinctiveness from other available adversary COAs.
- Consistency: aligned with established doctrines and observed practices.
Army Doctrine Publications
- Outline fundamental military principles guiding forces in support of national objectives.
Joint Operation Phasing Model
- Phase 0: Shape.
- Phase 1: Deter.
- Phase 2: Seize Initiative.
- Phase 3: Dominate.
- Phase 4: Stabilize.
- Phase 5: Enable Civil Authority.
