  Mission Analysis
  5-16. Commanders and staffs perform mission analysis to better understand the situation and problem,
  identify what the command must accomplish, when and where it must be done, and why. Space planners and
  staff members responsible for planning and integrating space capabilities gather, analyze, and synthesize
  information on current conditions of the OE with an emphasis on the space domain.
  5-17. In addition to the four major activities of the operations process, commanders and staffs use several
  integrating processes to synchronize specific functions throughout the operations process. The integrating
  processes—IPB, targeting, and risk management—provide an avenue to obtain the space-related threats and
  hazards to be reviewed and refined. Threat and hazard assessments are continuously reviewed and updated
  as the OE changes.
  5-18. The space planners conduct threat and hazard analysis of space-based resources at Army, corps, and
  division echelons. This analysis comprises a thorough, in-depth compilation and examination of information
  and intelligence that address potential threats and hazards in the area of operations.
  5-19. The space planner begins mission analysis with the systematic process of analyzing the mission
  variables in an area of interest to determine the effect on operations. Space planners coordinate with the
  intelligence staff to identify enemy and adversary capabilities and their use of the space domain to assist in
  the development of models, situation templates, event templates, high-value targets, named areas of interest,
  and other intelligence products. Space specific mission analysis planning considerations are in table 5-2
  (pages 5-5 and 5-6).
