text: Intelligence at and Across Echelons
  7-29. The theater army G-2 and its supporting ACE provide regionally focused intelligence overwatch.
  Regionally aligned, assigned, and designated forces must thoroughly coordinate with the supporting MIB-T.
  This allows regional forces to access theater intelligence, infrastructure, and training opportunities, as well as
  leverage expertise resident in the theater. Organizations can also interact with INSCOM functional commands
  to focus organic intelligence capabilities and enhance situational awareness and mission readiness.
  7-30. The theater G-2 coordinates with the USAF SWO to—
  ⚫ Provide weather forecasts and effects on operations and capabilities (friendly and threat).
  ⚫ Ensure the weather portion of the running estimate remains current.
  ⚫ Ensure weather products are published according to the commander’s stated requirements and
  the command’s battle rhythm.
  ⚫ Ensure weather products are tailored for the area and include specific weather forecasts for
  specific theater weather conditions.
  THEATER ARMY INTELLIGENCE CELL
  7-31. The theater army intelligence cell is responsible for integrating and synchronizing Army intelligence
  operations throughout the combatant command’s AOR. The cell’s staff elements either embed or coordinate
  with other CP cells to facilitate this synchronization. Specifically, the theater army intelligence cell performs
  the following tasks:
  ⚫ Provides recommendations to the theater army commander regarding the theater intelligence
  collection posture and task organization.
  ⚫ Plans, programs, manages, evaluates, oversees, and integrates all intelligence activities.
  ⚫ Provides functional oversight of assigned or attached intelligence personnel and units.
  ⚫ Establishes the theater intelligence architecture.
  ⚫ Manages theater army intelligence collection, production, dissemination, disclosure, and CI
  requirements.
  ⚫ Coordinates for national intelligence support and executes intelligence engagement and theater
  security cooperation, as required.
  ⚫ Provides intelligence support to land-based air and missile defense.
  ⚫ Distributes established transliteration guidance for intelligence and operational consistency.
  Building a Collaborative Environment
  The theater army G-2 and intelligence cell provide the guidance, resources, and access to
  the intelligence enterprise that, in turn, promotes a collaborative and flexible environment to
  ensure effective collection management and intelligence operations from theater army to
  battalion levels. A top-down collaborative approach assists each successive echelon in
  dealing with the dynamic challenges that the threat presents to friendly forces. This
  publication has previously emphasized the importance of close collaboration between
  echelons as well as between the G-3/S-3, G-2/S-2, collection manager, and MI unit
  commander. The theater army has an important role in promoting that collaboration.
  7-32. The intelligence cell in the theater army CP provides regionally focused intelligence support to Army
  and joint forces operating in the combatant command’s AOR. It is organized as a planning staff that assists
  the theater army commander in developing the plans required to support the combatant command’s
  operations.
  7-33. The theater army intelligence cell depends on the MIB-T for intelligence collection, single-source
  analysis, and all-source intelligence to meet the theater army’s intelligence needs. Additionally, the theater
  army intelligence cell depends on the JFC information planning cell for analysis and intelligence about the
  cyberspace domain and information dimension. With augmentation, the intelligence cell can conduct
  operational intelligence collection and analysis to support theater army operations or operate in DS of a corps
  or other subordinate headquarters.
