  Figure 5-6. The intelligence analysis continuum
  5-32. During the MDMP, the intelligence staff leads IPOE and conducts continuous intelligence analysis to
  understand the OE and the options it presents to friendly and threat capabilities. For example, threat databases
  and signatures developed during pre-mission analysis of the OE assist in assessing threat capabilities and
  vulnerabilities during IPOE. This information facilitates decision making during the MDMP and provides a
  common understanding on how friendly forces may gain positions of relative advantage across multiple
  domains and dimensions. This is essential when determining how best to mitigate sophisticated threat A2
  and AD systems, IADSs, deception, information warfare, systems warfare, the EMS and EW, UASs, robotic
  capabilities, and long-range fires capabilities, as well as accounting for civil considerations in the OE.
  5-33. Based on relevant aspects of the OE (determined during IPOE), including the domains and dimensions,
  the commander and staff continuously assess information, operations, and changes in the OE. Warnings
  intelligence, situation development, intelligence support to targeting, and intelligence support to information
  advantage activities assist the commander and staff in further shaping the OE to facilitate mission success.
  The continuous assessment of collected information also mitigates risk to friendly forces while identifying
  opportunities to leverage friendly capabilities to open a window of opportunity.
