  ⚫ Assess collection.
  ⚫ Update the collection management plan.
  The collection management tasks are continuous but not necessarily sequential; they are the basis for
  creating, tasking, and executing the information collection plan. (See figure 5-5.) This is accomplished
  through the challenging balance of—
  ⚫ Developing requirements that effectively support operations during requirements management.
  ⚫ Developing recommendations to task collection assets, including associated details such as the where,
  when, and how for that collection, and coordinating with those assets or their C2 element to ensure an
  effective information collection effort throughout the entire operation during mission management.
  ⚫ Ensuring a continuous integrated and synchronized information collection effort through timely
  and flexible adjustments to collection throughout the operation during execution management.
  Figure 5-5. The collection management process
  Effective collection management focuses on answering intelligence requirements by analyzing these
  requirements, planning collection based on tasks to collection assets, and then assigning these tasks in an
  order. The collection management plan synchronizes and coordinates collection assets and PED in the overall
  concept of operations, and positions and tasks collection assets so they can collect the right information, shift
  priorities as the situation develops, or execute a branch or sequel.
  Note. Concept of operations is a statement that directs the manner in which subordinate units
  cooperate to accomplish the mission and establishes the sequence of actions the force will use to
  achieve the end state (ADP 5-0).
  THE INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS CONTINUUM
  5-31. There is far more to intelligence analysis than simply IPOE. Intelligence analysis must support the
  commander’s decisions, situational understanding, ADM, the MDMP, information advantage activities,
  targeting, planning and executing deception operations, force protection considerations, and continuous
  operational assessments. In any operation, friendly and enemy forces will endeavor to set conditions to
  develop positions of relative advantage. Setting these conditions begins with pre-mission analysis of the OE,
  which provides relevant knowledge about the OE that is incorporated into the ADM and then used later
  during other intelligence analysis tasks. (See figure 5-6 on page 5-12.)
