  CIVIL KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION IN THE INTEGRATING PROCESSES OF THE ARMY
  4-7. CKI is executed by performing analysis and evaluation of civil information and data for operational
  relevance and integrating the resulting actionable civil knowledge into the Army’s integrating processes.
  These integrating processes include—
  * IPB.
  * Information collection.
  * Targeting.
  * RM.
  * Knowledge management.
