  Figure B-4. Conducting information collection
  COLLECTION MANAGEMENT (2.3.1)
  B-55. Collection management is, in intelligence usage, the process of converting intelligence requirements
  into collection requirements, establishing priorities, tasking or coordinating with appropriate collection
  sources or agencies, monitoring results, and retasking, as required (JP 2-0). Collection management is driven
  by the commander, coordinated by staff effort, and led by the G-2/S-2. The continuous functions of managing
  collection and identifying intelligence gaps identify the best way to satisfy the supported commander and
  staff’s requirements. These functions are not necessarily sequential. (See ATP 2-01.)
  B-56. The intelligence staff (in collaboration with the operations officer and the entire staff) receives and
  validates requirements for collection, prepares the collection management plan, recommends collection
  assets and capabilities to the operations staff, and maintains synchronization as operations progress.
  B-57. Collection management ensures information collection, intelligence reach, and RFIs successfully
  report, produce, and disseminate information, combat information, and intelligence to support decision
  making. Collection management includes the following tasks:
  ⚫ Develop requirements.
  ⚫ Develop the collection management plan.
  ⚫ Support tasking and directing.
  ⚫ Assess collection.
  ⚫ Update the collection management plan.
