Study Notes

Intelligence Production and Analysis

Intelligence is the product of collecting, evaluating, analyzing, integrating, and interpreting all available information.
There are three levels of intelligence: tactical, operational, and strategic.

The intelligence cycle consists of planning and direction, collection, analysis, and intelligence.
The Admiralty Scale is used to evaluate the reliability of sources and the validity of information.
Logic is the process of reasoning, and it influences the information known to draw conclusions.
The Periodic Status Report (PSR) includes evaluated information and accepted data regarding the composition, disposition, strength, training, tactics, logistics, combat efficiency, and miscellaneous data applicable to an enemy force.
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data.
PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environment, Legal) is a format set by the Directorate for Intelligence for the conduct of an area study.
Environmental Scan is a process of collecting, analyzing, and distributing information for tactical, operational, and strategic purposes, which shall also include an assessment.
