  COMPLEMENTARY CAPABILITIES
  1-92. JP 2-0 recognizes the following intelligence applications: identity intelligence (I2), biometrics,
  forensics, and DOMEX. The Army also recognizes various specialized capabilities that can contribute to all-
  source or single-source intelligence through intelligence coordination with other warfighting functions and
  branches. These specialized and technical capabilities, many of which are not typically conducted by MI
  units, can provide valuable insight into threat activities and intentions and can fill intelligence gaps. In some
  instances, they can provide critical information that supports security, consolidating gains, and rear area
  operations. These capabilities include but are not limited to the following:
  ⚫ Biometrics. ⚫ Forensics.
  ⚫ Cyberspace. ⚫ Identity activities.
  ⚫ DOMEX. ⚫ Space.
  ⚫ EW.
  Biometrics
  1-93. Biometrics is the process of recognizing an individual based on measurable anatomical, physiological,
  and behavioral characteristics (JP 2-0). According to DODD 8521.01E, the Secretary of the Army is the DOD
  executive agent for biometrics. A biometric refers to a measurable physical characteristic or personal
  behavior trait used to recognize the identity or verify the claimed identity of an individual. The term
  biometrics designates characteristics of an individual and a process. As a process, biometrics consists of the
  automated methods used to recognize an individual based on measurable biometric characteristics.
  1-94. The collecting, processing, matching, and intelligence analysis of biometric data support the positive
  identification and characterization of individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. They
  provide a powerful capability for DOD to identify and respond to threat personnel, protect friendly forces,
  and defend national interests. The success of DOD and DOD’s partners in identifying such threats is further
  improved by sharing biometric data with interagency and international partners. Therefore, it is important to
  employ a comprehensive, coordinated approach for biometric data collection as well as foster sharing
  agreements with interagency and foreign partners.
  1-95. Incorporating biometric information into all-source intelligence analysis is a highly successful
  technique for enabling U.S. forces to strip away the anonymity of threat fighters. Biometric information is
  one of the identity attributes that contributes to I2. With an extraordinary degree of confidence, U.S. forces
  can link enemy activity to previously unidentified threat personnel using biometric technology.
  Cyberspace
  1-96. A cyberspace capability is a device or computer program, including any combination of software,
  firmware, or hardware, designed to create an effect in or through cyberspace (JP 3-12). The use of cyberspace
  capabilities facilitates understanding the threat’s cyberspace capabilities, intentions, potential actions, and
  vulnerabilities, as well as their impacts on the environment, friendly operations, and the local populace.
  Cyberspace capabilities depend on an established technical architecture. Intelligence produced using
  cyberspace capabilities facilitates decision making at all levels through the analysis and production of
  relevant and tailored intelligence on activities in the cyberspace domain that may affect a unit’s ability to
  conduct operations. The intelligence can range from broadly disseminated products focused on general users
  to very specific and narrowly focused analysis and reports distributed via classified channels.
  1-97. Due to its very nature, intelligence operations in the cyberspace domain require significant lead time
  to accomplish. Intelligence operations and analysis in the cyberspace domain also require additional and
  specific authorities, oversight, training, and specialized equipment. For example, the use of computers,
  technology, and networks facilitates all-source intelligence, the intelligence disciplines, and other intelligence
  capabilities. However, intelligence professionals’ use of computers, technology, and networks does not mean
  they are conducting cyberspace operations. The authority for each discipline or capability governs the guiding
  methods and regulations for the conduct of each intelligence discipline or intelligence capability.
