  PART FOUR
  Analysis and Tools
  Part Four discusses HUMINT analysis and the automation and communication tools
  needed to support the HUMINT collection effort.
  HUMINT analysis supports operational planning and provides direction to HUMINT
  collection operations. Analysts determine if information from a single human source
  is internally consistent based on factors such as placement and access of source,
  prior information from the source, and existing holdings. Source analysis is used to
  determine if the information from a source is complete, truthful, and responsive to
  collection requirements. Operational analysis consists of those actions taken to
  determine how to best meet requirements.
  Modern automation and communications systems are vital to HUMINT collection.
  Real-time collaboration, detailed operational planning and ISR integration, as well as
  enhanced collection and source exploitation tools, must support team efforts.
  Emerging technology continues to allow the entire HUMINT collection system to
  operate more effectively. Commanders must be prepared to supply their HUMINT
  collection assets with the best possible technology.

  Chapter 12
  HUMINT Analysis and Production
  12-1. Analytical processes provide information to support the commander,
  his staff, and his unit. Analysis is an integral part of HUMINT collection.
  Analysis occurs throughout the HUMINT collection process but can be
  divided into four primary categories: analytical support to operational
  planning and targeting, operational analysis and assessment, source
  analysis, and single-discipline HUMINT analysis and production.
  ANALYTICAL SUPPORT TO OPERATIONAL PLANNING
  12-2. Several elements provide analytical support at various echelons,
  including the following:
  • The HAT is subordinate to the G2 ACE. The HAT supports the G2 in
  developing IPB products and in developing and tailoring SIRs to
  match HUMINT collection capabilities.
