  THE INTELLIGENCE ENTERPRISE
  1-11. Multinational, interagency, intergovernmental (to the national level), and joint intelligence are crucial
  for Army intelligence activities. Multinational, national, and joint intelligence form the basis and set the
  context for more specific Army operational and tactical intelligence. This national to tactical aspect of
  intelligence explains why the intelligence enterprise is essential to Army intelligence activities as it provides
  certain intelligence, capabilities, broadcast downlinks, and other services.
  Note. The Army Intelligence and Security Enterprise (AISE) provides capabilities to the larger
  intelligence enterprise. The enterprise provides important support to joint, multinational, and
  combined organizations and intelligence activities, including DOD combat support agencies. (See
  paragraph 7-15 for the specific AISE offices.)
  1-12. Higher-level intelligence is key to the depth and quality of the intelligence disseminated to Army
  commanders and staffs, and it provides some forms of intelligence the Army cannot produce that are
  important to Army multidomain operations. From an overarching perspective, every aspect of intelligence is
  synchronized, federated, databased, networked, and, to some extent, collaborative across all unified action
  partners. This synchronization (including the provision of certain authorities) occurs through national to
  tactical support across the intelligence enterprise. Intelligence enterprise assets include all U.S. intelligence
  professionals, sensors, systems, federated organizations, information, and processes supported by a network-
  enabled architecture. The most important element is the people who make it work.
  1-13. Not all echelons have the same degree of activity with other members of the intelligence enterprise,
  but Army intelligence professionals should understand what they receive or can access from the intelligence
  enterprise. The main value provided to the commander is the ability to leverage—
  ⚫ Specialized collection capabilities.
  ⚫ Large volumes of OE-related information.
  ⚫ Unique intelligence databases.
  ⚫ Specialized analysis and analytic products.
  1-14. Analysts leverage higher-level intelligence organizations and databases to create a more
  comprehensive and detailed assessment of threats and other relevant aspects of the OE (such as deep analysis
  across each domain and the human and information dimensions) to facilitate situational understanding and
  visualization of the AO. The effectiveness of Army intelligence hinges directly on the ability to collaborate
  and share within the intelligence enterprise.
  1-15. Collaboration is the central principle of conducting analysis across intelligence organizations. Army
  tactical units provide accurate and detailed intelligence about the threat and other relevant aspects of the OE
  (especially those related to Army activities) through the intelligence enterprise, while other intelligence
  organizations provide expertise and access not readily available to the Army at the tactical level.
  1-16. United States (U.S.) Government members of the larger intelligence enterprise are referred to as the
  intelligence community (IC), which is under the purview of the Office of the Director of National
  Intelligence. Intelligence community is all departments or agencies of a government that are concerned with
  intelligence activity, either in an oversight, managerial, support, or participatory role (JP 2-0). While
  multinational and nongovernmental partners are important, the U.S. IC forms a major portion of the
  intelligence enterprise. Numerous DOD and non-DOD agencies and organizations in the IC support Army
  operations by providing specific intelligence products and services. Additionally, national-level intelligence
  organizations provide governance and standards over certain intelligence methods and activities. Cooperation
  can benefit every echelon. (See appendix A for JTF and unified action partner considerations.)
  1-17. The U.S. IC is increasingly important as new technologies facilitate collaborative analysis and
  production. Effective intelligence operations must include familiarity with the IC and methods to obtain
  information, intelligence, and services from the various members, as necessary. Table 1-1 on page 1-6 lists
  DOD and non-DOD IC members.
