Intelligence

ADP 2-0 is the Army's foundational publication for the intelligence warfighting function. It covers what intelligence is for, how the intelligence process supports the commander's decisions, and how intelligence work is organized at echelon. It is the parent publication for the rest of the 2-series.

What to take from it

  • Intelligence supports the commander's decisions; it is driven by the operation, not separate from it.
  • The intelligence process is continuous: plan and direct, collect, produce, disseminate, with analysis throughout.
  • Intelligence preparation of the operational environment is a staff product, not an intelligence-only product.
  • Defines the intelligence warfighting function and its relationship to the other warfighting functions.

These points are our summary, written for recall. They are not a substitute for the publication and they will not cover everything a board can ask. Read the source.
