text: Intelligence During Multinational Operations
  4-26. Cyber-enabled intelligence is produced by combining intelligence analysis with collaborated
  information concerning activity in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum. (Refer to JP 3-85 for
  electromagnetic spectrum operations.)
  4-27. Document and media exploitation is also known as DOMEX. Document and media exploitation is the
  processing, translation, analysis, and dissemination of collected hardcopy documents and electronic media
  that are under the U.S. government’s physical control and are not publicly available. Units can derive threat
  intent, capabilities, and limitations through the exploitation of captured materials. (Refer to DODD 3300.03
  for more on document and media exploitation.)
  4-28. Forensic-enabled intelligence is also known as FEI. Forensic-enabled intelligence is the intelligence
  resulting from the integration of scientifically examined materials and other information to establish full
  characterization, attribution, and the linkage of events, locations, items, signatures, nefarious intent, and
  persons of interest (JP 2-0). (Refer to JP 2-0 for details on forensic-enabled intelligence and ATP 3-39.21 for
  more on expeditionary forensics.)
  MULTINATIONAL INFORMATION SHARING TASKS
  4-29. Every multinational operation and all the tasks the force uses to collect and disseminate intelligence
  differs. Classification may present a challenge in sharing information, but keeping as much information at
  the lowest appropriate classification level as possible improves interoperability, trust, and operational
  effectiveness in the multinational force. Commanders know other nation’s positions on intelligence sharing
  and ensure that intelligence is shared as much as possible, especially if required for mission accomplishment
  and force protection. Early information sharing during planning ensures that multinational force requirements
  are clearly stated, guidance supports the commander’s intent, and the multinational force uses procedures
  supportable by other nations.
  4-30. The following tasks guide multinational intelligence operations:
  • Adjust for national differences in intelligence concepts.
  • Create an integrated multinational staff and intelligence fusion center with representatives from all
  participating nations within national limits on intelligence sharing.
  • View the mission from a multinational and national perspective; treat a threat to one member as a
  threat to all members.
  • Agree to and plan for multinational intelligence requirements in advance of the operation.
  • Plan complementary intelligence operations using all available multinational intelligence resources
  focusing on national strengths.
  • Exchange liaison officers to limit problems derived from culture, language, doctrine, and
  intelligence requirements.
  CONSIDERATIONS
  4-31. Commanders and their staffs participating in multinational operations consider and answer the
  following questions with respect to the intelligence portion of the operation:
  • Does the multinational force have an initial collection management working group? What are the
  positions in the deployment timetable?
  • Does the collection plan incorporate all collection assets available for tasking and account for
  differences in capabilities, limitations, and release authorities of the collecting nation?
  • Are there any specific cultural, historical, language, customs, or religious relationships between the
  multinational force partners and the adversary or the local population?
  • What is the intelligence architecture?
  • Does the intelligence architecture meet mission requirements? Are there any gaps in coverage?
  • Has the C2 system been established to disseminate time sensitive information for targeting or rapid
  reaction to all participants?
  • What are the procedures for sharing intelligence and information or releasing information policies?
  Are all multinational partners treated equally, considering compartmented and national sensitivities?
  • What are the levels of interoperability between different intelligence information systems including
  database compatibility?
