text: Intelligence Warfighting Function Tasks
  Develop Requirements (2.3.1.1)
  B-58. The intelligence staff develops a prioritized list of requirements that focuses on what information it
  needs to collect to produce intelligence. Additionally, the intelligence staff dynamically updates and adjusts
  the requirements in response to mission adjustments and changes. Each requirement is assigned a latest time
  information is of value (also called LTIOV) to meet operational requirements.
  Develop the Collection Management Plan (2.3.1.2)
  B-59. Developing the collection management plan involves integrating and synchronizing collection assets
  and addressing intelligence requirements through proposed information collection tasks such as the concept
  of operations and scheme of maneuver. The entire staff must cooperate and collaborate. The collection
  management plan is the primary input in the development of the information collection plan, as captured in
  Annex L (Information Collection). The collection management plan is updated as planning changes or the
  operation evolves. Developing the collection management plan includes evaluating collection assets;
  developing a collection strategy; developing collection management tools, which graphically represent the
  collection strategy; and drafting partial Annex L (Information Collection) for staffing.
  Support Tasking and Directing (2.3.1.3)
  B-60. To support the G-3/S-3 in tasking and directing collection assets, the collection management team
  provides the collection management plan to the operations staff. The collection management plan is the basis
  (compiling all requirements and planning collection against those requirements) for the information
  collection plan. The collection management plan consists of the three collection management tools, at a
  minimum, and any other useful products, such as a collection emphasis message at higher echelons. The
  operations staff adds some details to the collection management plan and publishes the information collection
  plan within the order as Annex L (Information Collection). The collection management plan addresses all
  available assets and requests for collection from higher or adjacent units, as well as the coordinating
  mechanisms required to ensure collection coverage.
  Assess Collection (2.3.1.4)
  B-61. The commander and staff continuously evaluate the information collection plan based on the
  assessment of results from reconnaissance missions, surveillance tasks, intelligence operations, and security
  operations. Assessing collection is particularly important during execution because situations change rapidly;
  it identifies updates for information collection activities. Together, commanders and staffs determine if
  requirements have been satisfied or are still relevant:
  ⚫ If requirements have been satisfied or are no longer relevant, they are eliminated from the
  information collection plan.
  ⚫ If requirements have not been satisfied but are still relevant, the intelligence staff coordinates
  with the operations staff during the information collection working group for additional assets
  and/or recommends adjustments to the current coverage.
  Update the Collection Management Plan (2.3.1.5)
  B-62. Collection management is continuous, collaborative, and interactive. As such, updating the collection
  management plan as the situation changes keeps information collection synchronized with current operations,
  thus ensuring an effective information collection effort. Keeping the plan current requires constant
  coordination among all staff members. When the commander designates a requirement as satisfied, the
  collection management team deletes that requirement so that collectors remain focused on unanswered and
  new requirements. Success results in the collection and reporting of timely and relevant information to
  support the commander’s decisions.
