  COLLECTION MANAGEMENT
  Collection management is, in intelligence usage, the process of converting intelligence requirements
  into collection requirements, establishing priorities, tasking or coordinating with appropriate collection
  sources or agencies, monitoring results, and retasking, as required (JP 2-0). Collection management includes
  ensuring information collection, intelligence reach, RFIs, and requests for collection result in adequate
  information, combat information, and intelligence to support operations. (See ATP 2-01.)
  Note. In the Army, tasking authority derives from the commander and resides with the G-3/S-3.
  Within Army operations, neither the collection manager, G-2/S-2, nor intelligence staff members
  have tasking authority. To retask an asset, the G-2/S-2 must closely collaborate with the G-3/S-3,
  as well as address information collection issues within the COIC so intelligence is continually
  ready to support decision making, targeting, and other aspects of operations. It is important for the
  collection manager, ACE or BISE chief, and the appropriate G-3/S-3 representative to quickly
  work through information collection issues.
  Collection management is the primary driver for overall information collection planning, as discussed
  in paragraph 3-30. The overlap of collection management and information collection planning occurs in the—
  ⚫ Development of the collection management plan.
  ⚫ Use of intelligence handover lines and other graphic measures.
  ⚫ Feasibility and details of employing ground reconnaissance.
  ⚫ Planning of fires and sustainment to support the information collection effort.
  The following are inherent in conducting collection management:
  ⚫ Intelligence reach and RFIs.
  ⚫ Monitoring available collection assets and assessing their ability to provide the required
  information.
  ⚫ Recommending adjustments to new requirements or locations of collection assets, if required.
  ⚫ Collection orchestration, as part of the operational-level model.
  COLLECTION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS
  5-20. During any phase of military operations, CCIRs are critical to the commander’s decisions and staff
  control. The intelligence warfighting function focuses on answering intelligence requirements. Both collection
  management and intelligence analysis are driven by PIRs, targeting intelligence requirements, and other
  intelligence requirements that subsequently drive the development of specific information requirements (SIRs).
  SIRs assist in tasking or requesting collection assets to collect information that results in effective intelligence
  that answers the commander’s requirements.
  5-21. Collection management supports the intelligence analysis process and intelligence analysis supports
  the collection management process and both must account for PED activities. These activities must be
  synchronized, and analysts within both activities must collaborate closely to enable the intelligence
  warfighting function. Intelligence analysis sets the stage for collection management, which includes
  developing information requirements that later result in intelligence requirements that drive effective
  information collection. This enables intelligence analysts to answer the commander’s intelligence
  requirements. The intelligence staff conducts collection management in collaboration with the operations
  staff to collect, process, and analyze information that affects operations. (See ATP 2-33.4 for doctrine on
  intelligence analysis.)
