  Integrating the Intelligence Warfighting Function
  SECTION I – INTEGRATING AND SYNCHRONIZING INTELLIGENCE
  3-1. Leadership is the most essential dynamic of combat power, and it is the commander who provides
  purpose, direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the unit or organization. Leaders
  must be able to thoroughly understand the given mission, current situation, and how the OE may impact the
  mission. Therefore, leaders must integrate and synchronize intelligence into operations. This facilitates
  understanding an OE and assists in determining when and where to employ capabilities against adversaries
  and enemies.
  3-2. Leaders must provide their formations, including the intelligence warfighting function, direction,
  guidance, and a sense of purpose. To do this, leaders must be knowledgeable of intelligence fundamentals,
  the intelligence process, the intelligence warfighting function, intelligence capabilities, the intelligence
  architecture, and how they can be leveraged to support the operations process.
  3-3. Commanders and staffs at all levels synchronize intelligence with the other warfighting functions to
  maximize their ability to simultaneously visualize the OE and accomplish the required tasks and activities.
  The effective use of intelligence capabilities enhances the capability of the combined arms team to create and
  concentrate combat power and minimize risk.
  3-4. The integration and synchronization of the warfighting functions, including the intelligence
  warfighting function, are important for mission success. While the intelligence warfighting function is
  somewhat complex, its integration is doctrinally no different than the integration of the other warfighting
  functions and no less important. Figure 3-1 illustrates the integration of the intelligence warfighting function,
  accomplished through planning methodologies, integrating processes, and a unit’s battle rhythm.
