  ⚫ IPOE.
  ⚫ Situation development.
  ⚫ Collection management.
  ⚫ Support to all information aspects of targeting.
  ⚫ Support to countering misinformation and disinformation efforts, including OSINT support.
  ⚫ Support to determining protection and security activities to mitigate threat activities.
  ⚫ Many aspects of CI, including technology protection.
  FM 2-0 modified the IWFTs to support information
  advantage:
  • ART 2.4.2, Provide Intelligence Support to Information Operations,
  from FM 2-0, dated 06 July 2018, has been deleted.
  • ART 2.4.2, Provide Intelligence Support to Information Operations,
  subtasks have been captured under IWFT 2.2.5, Provide Intelligence
  Support to Unique Missions. Some of the subtasks include—provide
  intelligence support to public affairs, military information support
  operations, CEMA, cybersecurity, OPSEC, and military deception.
  (See appendix B.) (ART Army tactical task)
  PERFORM SITUATION DEVELOPMENT
  5-82. The intelligence staff performs continual situation development once IPOE is completed to support the
  unit’s MDMP. Situation development involves the logical next steps of taking IPOE and MDMP results and
  continuing to support the commander and staff in terms of understanding, visualizing, and decision making—
  except for support to targeting, which is a separate task. IPOE products are converted into threat-tracking
  intelligence products as well as into the development of standard intelligence products that support situational
  understanding and a unit/organization’s battle rhythm. Analysts continually produce current intelligence to
  answer the commander’s requirements; update and refine IPOE products, as needed; and support transitions
  to the next phase of an operation, branch, or sequel.
  5-83. While IPOE initially shapes the development of situation development products, performing situation
  development is different from performing IPOE. Situation development products are more useful when key
  staff members collaborate with the intelligence staff. There are several standard doctrinal intelligence
  products associated with this task. Different units should freely modify these doctrinal products or develop
  their own, as long as they meet the doctrinal intent of providing relevant and timely support to the commander
  and staff. Some of these intelligence products include—
  ⚫ Event templates and associated event matrices. (See ATP 2-01.3.)
  ⚫ Intelligence estimates. (See ATP 2-33.4.)
  ⚫ Intelligence running estimates. (See ATP 2-33.4.)
  ⚫ INTSUMs. (See ATP 2-33.4.)
  ⚫ Graphic INTSUMs. (See ATP 2-33.4.)
  ⚫ Intelligence reports. (See ATP 2-33.4.)
  ⚫ Periodic intelligence reports. (See ATP 2-33.4.)
  ⚫ BDA charts.
  ⚫ Visualization products (according to the commander’s preference).
  5-84. The intelligence staff can develop these products in digital, hardcopy, and/or acetate formats,
  depending on the echelon; various C2 and intelligence systems; DDIL communications environments; and
  the unit’s PACE plan. Performing situation development at any echelon also depends on how commanders
  and staffs decide to share, integrate, and synchronize the CIP and COP across echelons.
