  8-81. The G-2 identifies threats to corps and division support and rear areas, such as enemy special purpose
  forces, enemy bypassed conventional forces, and irregular activities that may interfere with corps or division
  support and rear activities.
  8-82. The G-2 integrates and synchronizes unified action partner capabilities into the collection effort. The
  G-2 recommends specific reconnaissance tasks for corps- or division-controlled reconnaissance forces,
  realizing the commander may task these forces to conduct offensive operations or other tactical enabling
  tasks. A focused approach to allocating collection assets maximizes the capability of the limited number of
  assets available to corps or divisions.
  8-83. The G-3 synchronizes information collection operations with combat operations to ensure all corps
  and division information collection provides timely information to support operations. The G-3 tasks
  collection assets to support the targeting process. Collection assets locate targets identified in the AGM and
  call for fires. The fires cell may engage targets to achieve lethal and nonlethal effects.
  8-84. MI units and systems conduct intelligence operations to locate enemy units and systems. SIGINT and
  EW systems usually operate with the covering force and flank guard. The covering force commander directs
  EW against enemy C2 and fire support networks. The commander may use electromagnetic deception to
  deceive the enemy as to the location of the main body. Space-based and cyberspace systems and activities
  also support the security force in locating and determining the presence of enemy disruption forces, contact
  forces, and shielding forces.
  8-85. Intelligence identifies when and where the enemy will concentrate combat power, find gaps and
  vulnerabilities in enemy defenses, and predict how the enemy will conduct counterattacks and other tactics
  across the domains and dimensions. This intelligence supports decisions on conducting information
  collection, executing long-range fires, penetrating enemy security areas, overcoming obstacles, avoiding
  enemy strengths, defeating enemy counterattacks, and when possible, transitioning to exploitation or pursuit.
