  5-91. The CIP relies on constant intelligence synchronization and continuing assessments. Specifically, the
  CIP is based on—
  ⚫ Data, information, and intelligence from multiple echelons, organizations, and agencies.
  ⚫ Leveraging the intelligence enterprise.
  5-92. The commander often directs how information and intelligence should be displayed on the CIP; the
  G-2/S-2 and intelligence staff should ensure the information and intelligence are tailored to the commander’s
  requirements. The following include some key aspects of the CIP:
  ⚫ The CIP is derived from—
  ▪ All intelligence disciplines, complementary capabilities, and ancillary collection assets.
  ▪ Threat and civil considerations information across all domains and dimensions of the OE.
  ⚫ The CIP is driven by unit SOPs and collaboration up and down one echelon.
  5-93. G-2/S-2s must consider the following (not all-inclusive) when developing the CIP:
  ⚫ Commander’s requirements.
  ⚫ The unit’s mission.
  ⚫ CIP classification.
  ⚫ Echelon of CIP development.
  ⚫ CIP management procedures.
  ⚫ Available intelligence architecture and bandwidth.
  ⚫ Types of information to be displayed.
  ⚫ How information is to be displayed.
  ⚫ Dissemination and ingestion methods and procedures.
  ⚫ Reporting timelines.
  5-94. The CIP focuses on describing the OE, the threat, and threat COAs. This product should have both a
  visual and textual component. If organized appropriately, both components will convey a clear and relevant
  threat narrative consistent with operational terminology. Intelligence staffs must exercise high control over
  the threat narrative to ensure consistency, which supports the commander and staff’s situational
  understanding. Chapter 8 discusses developing the CIP during large-scale combat operations.
  INTELLIGENCE PORTION OF THE COMMON OPERATIONAL
  PICTURE
  5-95. The G-2/S-2 and intelligence staff carefully consider what aspects of the CIP to disseminate to the
  operations staff as the intelligence portion of the COP. The common operational picture is a display of
  relevant information within a commander’s area of interest tailored to the user’s requirements and based on
  common data and information shared by more than one command (ADP 6-0). Although the COP is ideally a
  single display, it may include more than one display and information in other forms, such as graphic
  representations or written reports, automatic updates, and overlays, often digitally stored in a common
  database. The intelligence portions of the COP are those messages and overlays relating to threats, terrain
  and weather, and civil considerations in the common database. The G-2/S-2 and intelligence staff ensure the
  common database reflects the most current information and intelligence available to maintain the timeliness,
  accuracy, and relevancy of the intelligence portion of the COP.
  5-96. The commander and staff must account for and mitigate any limitations in the COP based on the C2
  system and technology used to generate the COP. The threat situation and civil considerations portions of the
  COP, while updated by the intelligence staff regularly, are sometimes limited to displaying somewhat latent
  and composite locations and threat force dispositions. Somewhat latent indicates that in most situations, those
  locations were captured at a specific time and are not automatically updated. Composite indicates that in
  some situations, those locations were captured across multiple dates/times. The intelligence portion of the
  COP may also require further explanation from the intelligence staff or other intelligence products due to the
  complexity of the threat situation and mission variables.
