  PLAN, ESTABLISH, AND REVISE AN INTELLIGENCE ARCHITECTURE (2.1.2)
  B-10. The plan, establish, and revise an intelligence architecture task supports the intelligence enterprise. It
  has five tasks:
  ⚫ Plan an intelligence architecture.
  ⚫ Establish an intelligence architecture.
  ⚫ Revise an intelligence architecture.
  ⚫ Develop and maintain automated intelligence networks.
  ⚫ Establish and maintain access.
  Note. The Ground Intelligence Support Activity serves as the Army service provider for sensitive
  compartmented information systems, the single Army JWICS Internet Protocol registration
  authority, and the responsible organization for implementing Army JWICS Internet Protocol
  policy.
  Successfully Planning, Establishing, and Revising an Intelligence
  Architecture
  A successful technique for dealing with the complexities of planning, establishing, and
  revising an intelligence architecture is using Digital Intelligence Systems Master Gunner (also
  known as DISMG) course graduates. The course informs leaders of integration factors with
  joint and mission partner networks to enable OE visualization as well as informs and advises
  unit leaders on current digital MI capabilities. The Foundry Intelligence Training Program
  offers the Digital Intelligence Systems Master Gunner course under the direction of the U.S.
  Army Forces Command G-2.
  Plan an Intelligence Architecture (2.1.2.1)
  B-11. Developing an intelligence architecture plan requires planners to understand the mission and OE where
  the military operation will occur in order to determine intelligence architecture requirements. To do this,
  planners must evaluate the OE by using the operational variables (political, military, economic, social,
  information, infrastructure, physical environment, and time [PMESII-PT]) and mission variables (mission,
  enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available, time available, civil considerations, and
  informational considerations [METT-TC (I)]). Planners must consider the intelligence disciplines, joint and
  multinational partners/equipment, complementary capabilities, systems interoperability, intelligence and
  other communications, foreseeable/unforeseeable physical locations of intelligence elements/assets, and
  system capabilities to support intelligence reach, processing, exploitation, analysis, federated analysis, data
  storage, and intelligence production. As much as is feasible, the intelligence architecture should be resilient
  and effective even in degraded, intermittent, and limited communications environments.
  Establish an Intelligence Architecture (2.1.2.2)
  B-12. Establishing an intelligence architecture encompasses complex and technical issues such as sensors,
  data flow, hardware, software, communications, communications security materials, network classifications,
  technicians, database access, liaison officers, training, and funding. A well-defined and well-designed
  intelligence architecture can offset or mitigate structural, organizational, or personnel limitations. This
  architecture provides the best possible understanding of all relevant aspects of the OE.
