    Study Notes

    Joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

    • The Army conducts operations within a joint force, focusing on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) as part of unified action.
    • Joint ISR incorporates concepts, doctrine, resources, and planning systems.
    • National intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) resources and guidelines are also discussed alongside joint considerations and organization.

    Joint ISR and Unified Action

    • Unified action synchronizes, coordinates, or integrates governmental and non-governmental activities with military operations.
    • Army forces work with multinational formations, host-nation forces, other governmental agencies, contractors, and non-governmental organizations in the operational area.
    • Information collection supports answering a commander's critical information requirements (CCIRs).

    Joint ISR Concepts

    • Joint ISR is an intelligence function, controlled by the J-2.
    • It involves intelligence assets and resources, distinct from Army information collection.
    • Reconnaissance and surveillance units aren’t part of Joint ISR but can be used in joint operations.
    • Integration and interdependence are crucial concepts for joint ISR operations.

    Integration

    • The Army integrates operations with other services for enhanced combat power.
    • Interdependence is the reliance on other services' capabilities to maximize complementary effects.
    • Joint command and control, intelligence, and information sharing support joint operational effectiveness.

    Joint ISR Doctrine

    • JP 2-01 governs joint ISR doctrine with force headquarters managing operational policies and procedures.
    • Commander and staff interaction regarding joint operation planning and processes is key.

    Joint ISR Resources

    • Army commanders must access joint resources when organic assets are insufficient.
    • The joint force collection manager handles validated resource requests.
    • Information requests are handled through designated channels and prioritization.
    • Air support is another possible resource for joint ISR operations which are requested by supporting air components.

    Joint ISR Planning Systems

    • Two joint ISR planning systems (collection management and PRISM) facilitate joint resource access.
    • PRISM, a Web-based tool, optimizes resource use and collaboration.

    Joint Air Planning Process

    • The combatant commander's air component (with air and space operations center) manages airspace and air activity.
    • Joint ISR plans involving airborne assets must consider the joint air planning process.
    • Liaison officers at Army headquarters enhance tactical commander integration of theater ISR assets.

    National ISR Resources and Guidelines

    • National ISR utilizes the National Intelligence Priority Framework to prioritize requests.
    • National intelligence support teams (NISTs) support joint force commanders.
    • Planning and information systems leverage national databases and Intelink Web sites for IPB preparation.

    Requirements Management System

    • The system provides uniform automated collection management supporting national and Defense imagery communities.
    • National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency manages the system.
    • Imagery and geospatial information management is essential for this system.

    National Signals Intelligence Requirements Process (NSRP)

    • NSRP integrates elements, policies, procedures, and technology to manage requests for signals intelligence.
    • It replaces the previous system.
    • Information needs guide collector actions in the NSRP system.

    Joint ISR Considerations

    • Communication and cooperation with other agencies and organizations are essential aspects.
    • Cultural sensitivity is critical.
    • Relationship-building, reciprocity, mutual interests, and mutual trust are key consideration aspects in these joint operations.

    Joint ISR Organization

    • The Joint Task Force (JTF) is the primary organization for joint operations.
    • Joint components (J-2, etc) influence lower echelons' ISR plans and resource use.
    • Key organizations include the joint intelligence support element, air and space operations center, and others involving international/intergovernmental/nongovernmental organizations.

    Joint Intelligence Support Element

    • Dynamic retasking of joint ISR resources requires coordination with the joint intelligence support element.

    Air and Space Operations Center (or Combined Air and Space Operations Center)

    • Air tasking orders, airspace control orders, and special instructions are produced.
    • Essential for aerial assets and mission management.
    • Army intelligence staffs coordinate with the center through battlefield coordination detachments.

    Intergovernmental and Nongovernmental Organizations

    • Cooperation with these organizations enhances ISR, offering valuable insights and access to local detail.
    • It's important to develop a relationship to exchange information.

    Multinational Operations

    • Requires intensive coordination, training, and liaison among participating nations' forces.
    • Command and control of ISR resources may vary, potentially utilizing a combined command and control structure.
    • Early, concurrent planning is critical for success.
    • Cultural/religious sensitivity is important for mutual operation success.
