  THOROUGHLY INTEGRATED PLANNING
  8-93. As much as possible, planning before deployment and at higher echelons reduces the pressure imposed
  on tactical units about to move to their first engagement. For the intelligence warfighting function, IPOE and
  participation in the MDMP are important, but there is more to intelligence planning than IPOE. Staff
  teamwork and collaboration are critical to intelligence planning, especially during this difficult phase of
  operations. Thoroughly integrated planning focuses on—
  ⚫ The tactical portion of the intelligence architecture.
  ⚫ IPOE and information requirements.
  ⚫ Target development.
  TACTICAL PORTION OF THE INTELLIGENCE ARCHITECTURE
  8-94. Conditions from RSOI through close combat degrade a Soldiers’ and units’ abilities to revise the
  existing intelligence architecture and extend the tactical portion of the architecture. The lethal, fluid, and
  chaotic nature of combat causes the greatest stress on the intelligence architecture. This level of stress cannot
  be replicated in training environments, CP exercises, or field training exercises; therefore, leaders and
  Soldiers must exercise flexibility, adaptability, and creativity to establish and revise the intelligence
  architecture during operations. These traits must be reflected in tactical intelligence architectures.
