text: Preface
  FM 2-0 represents an important step toward changing the Army culture and improving Army readiness by
  addressing the fundamentals and tactics associated with intelligence across the Army strategic contexts, within
  multidomain operations—the Army’s operational concept. This publication describes the role of the commander
  and staff in intelligence, intelligence staff activities, and how military intelligence (MI) units conduct
  intelligence operations as part of information collection. FM 2-0 also contains descriptions of the intelligence
  warfighting function tasks as well as doctrine on force projection and language support. This manual is designed
  to be used with ADP 2-0, ADP 3-0, ADP 3-07, ADP 3-19, ADP 3-28, ADP 3-90, and ADP 5-0, and with
  FM 3-0, FM 3-55, FM 3-60, FM 3-90, FM 3-94, FM 3-96, FM 5-0, FM 6-0, and FM 6-27.
  The principal audience for FM 2-0 is every Soldier, Army Civilian, and Army contractor participating in or with
  the intelligence warfighting function. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force
  or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning joint
  intelligence. FM 2-0 also serves as a reference for personnel who are developing doctrine, leader development,
  material and force structure, and institutional and unit training for intelligence operations.
  Commanders, staffs, and subordinates, with assistance from their servicing judge advocates, ensure their
  decisions and actions comply with applicable United States (U.S.) laws and policy, to include but not limited to
  Executive Order 12333 as amended; relevant DOD instructions; DOD 5240.1-R; DODD 2310.01E; DODD
  3115.09; DODD 5240.01, DODM 5240.01; AR 381-10; FM 2-22.3; FM 6-27, the Uniform Code of Military
  Justice; military orders, including fragmentary orders; and international treaties. Commanders at all levels
  ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of armed conflict and the rules of engagement. (See
  FM 6-27.)
  FM 2-0’s chapter 2 contains blue boxes throughout that follow operational concepts discussed in FM 3 0. The
  blue boxes address different aspects of intelligence related to those FM 3-0 operational concepts.
