text: Intelligence Warfighting Function Tasks
  Revise an Intelligence Architecture (2.1.2.3)
  B-13. The intelligence architecture is developed well before deployment based on future planning and
  assumptions on the employment of intelligence capabilities. Periodically, units will revise the intelligence
  architecture based on new planning factors and assumptions, as well as the addition of new capabilities.
  Before deployment, units task-organize information collection capabilities based on the intelligence
  architecture and other factors such as the command post structure and other key C2 nodes.
  Develop and Maintain Automated Intelligence Networks (2.1.2.4)
  B-14. Developing and maintaining automated intelligence networks entail providing information systems
  that connect unique assets, units, echelons, agencies, and multinational partners for intelligence, collaborative
  analysis and production, dissemination, and intelligence reach. They use existing automated information
  systems and, when necessary, create operationally specific networks. In either case, these networks allow
  access to unclassified and classified means and interoperability across the area of operations—an operational
  area defined by the commander for the land or maritime force commander to accomplish their missions and
  protect their forces (JP 3-0). This task includes identifying deficiencies in the systems or networks, Service
  procedures, system administration procedures, security procedures, alternate power plans, redundancy,
  system backups, and update procedures.
  Establish and Maintain Access (2.1.2.5)
  B-15. The establish and maintain access task entails establishing and providing access to classified and
  unclassified programs, databases, networks, systems, and other web-based collaborative environments for
  Army and multinational organizations to facilitate intelligence reporting, production, dissemination,
  sustainment, and intelligence reach. This task also includes establishing access with joint forces and national
  agencies to facilitate a multilevel collaborative information dimension.
  PROVIDE INTELLIGENCE OVERWATCH (2.1.3)
  B-16. Intelligence overwatch is creating standing fixed analytical intelligence capabilities that provide
  dedicated intelligence support to committed maneuver units. The overwatch element is connected through a
  shared intelligence network that can extract information from multiple sources and provide succinct answers
  (vice megabytes of information) directly to supported units when time is critical.
  TAILOR THE INTELLIGENCE FORCE (2.1.4)
  B-17. The generating force uses mission analysis to focus the allocation of intelligence resources for use by
  a joint task force or combatant commander as well as to support strategic objectives, the Army’s mission,
  and operations at each echelon. Based on its own mission analysis, the staff at each echelon allocates
  intelligence resources obtained through the generating force according to the commander’s guidance, intent,
  and mission objectives.
  PROVIDE SUPPORT TO SITUATIONAL UNDERSTANDING (2.2)
  B-18. Situational understanding is the product of applying analysis and judgment to relevant information to
  determine the relationship among the operational and mission variables (ADP 6-0). This task provides
  information and intelligence to commanders so they can clearly understand the force’s current state in relation
  to the threat and other aspects of the OE. It supports the commander’s ability to make sound decisions.
  Provide support to situational understanding consists of six tasks, as shown in figure B-3 on page B-6.
