  Joint Task Force and Multinational Intelligence
  Considerations
  JOINT TASK FORCE HEADQUARTERS
  A-1. When a corps or division is designated to function as a JTF headquarters, it requires significant
  augmentation to fulfill the associated tasks. An Army unit designated as a JTF headquarters follows joint
  doctrine. (See JP 3-33.) The Army intelligence staff assumes the role of the J-2, whose primary function is
  providing information and analysis to facilitate accomplishing the mission. (See JP 2-0.)
  A-2. The primary function of the Army intelligence staff when employed as a JTF intelligence staff does
  not change; however, this function becomes more complex. The amount of available information often
  exceeds the staff’s ability to manage, fully understand, and leverage it. There is a high demand for
  information from national leaders, the media, and higher headquarters. This demand has the potential to
  overwhelm the staff unless additional resources are allocated. There are also complex multinational and
  interagency considerations for conducting intelligence operations, the intelligence architecture, liaison, and
  intelligence sharing.
  A-3. The primary tasks of the joint intelligence staff include—
  ⚫ Facilitating an understanding of the OE and supporting decision making.
  ⚫ Tailoring and distributing intelligence operations, if necessary, implementing a federated
  structure across multiple echelons. When appropriate, the joint force intelligence staff must also
  place analysis assets in forward locations to better support lower-echelon requirements.
  ⚫ Ensuring availability of intelligence.
  ⚫ Prioritizing collection and allocating analysis resources.
  ⚫ Integrating threat assessments developed by the combatant command intelligence organization to
  provide the JTF commander, staff, components, and subordinate units with the complete air,
  land, maritime, space, and cyberspace threat situation.
  A-4. The joint force intelligence staff uses the joint IPOE process to analyze the relevant aspects of the
  environment, including the physical domains of air, land, maritime, and space; the information environment,
  which includes cyberspace and the electromagnetic OE; and the political, military, economic, social,
  information, and infrastructure system and subsystems. This analysis allows the joint staff to develop a COP
  and the joint force intelligence staff to provide other intelligence support products.
  A-5. Joint ISR and Army information collection both share the purpose of integrating and synchronizing
  the planning and operation of sensors, assets, and PED systems in DS of current and future operations. In
  both joint and Army doctrine, this activity is an integrated operations and intelligence function.
  A-6. Army information collection doctrine expanded the joint doctrinal concept of ISR by better accounting
  for the role of ground reconnaissance and surveillance operations. (See FM 3-55.) Information collection
  activities are a synergistic whole, with emphasis on integrating and synchronizing all components and systems.
  Commanders and staffs have vital responsibilities in information collection planning, preparation, execution,
  and assessment. Commanders’ involvement is particularly important. The success of information collection is
  measured by its contributions to the commander’s understanding, visualization, and decision making.
