  DETECT
  5-70. The COIC is primarily responsible for directing the execution of the information collection effort to
  detect HPTs identified during the decide function. The intelligence cell (with the COIC) must focus its
  intelligence analysis efforts to support both situation development and the targeting effort. Therefore, close
  coordination between the intelligence cell and the FSE is critical. Key staff members in this effort include
  the G-3/S-3, G-2/S-2, information operations officer, FAIO, targeting officer, fire support coordinator, and
  fire support officer.
  5-71. The collection manager directs the information collection synchronization effort, focusing on PIRs and
  target intelligence requirements. The collection manager ensures the information collection plan supports the
  finalized targeting plan. The collection management team, in coordination with the targeting team (or
  intelligence targeting officer), develops collection strategies to satisfy PIRs and targeting intelligence
  requirements. The collection management team may have to differentiate collection tasks to support the
  acquire and identify or track collection function when a collection asset cannot perform both collection
  functions. This is a major challenge during large-scale combat operations at which time the concept of
  persistent surveillance is often not possible. National technical means may have to serve as an intermittent
  form of surveillance, in conjunction with Army collection assets, to acquire and identify and track HPTs and
  may be one of the primary means to detect targets in the space and cyberspace domains. Some collection
  assets provide actual targetable information while information from other collection assets requires PED to
  produce valid targets.
  5-72. The target priorities developed in the decide function are used to expedite the processing of targets.
  The collection management team—
  ⚫ Plans for synchronized collection, focusing on the proper HPT at each phase in the COA.
  ⚫ Plans collection to satisfy that set of SIRs, if BDA is required to support the COA.
  ⚫ Plans and arranges, when possible, direct dissemination of targeting intelligence from the
  collector to the targeting cell or the appropriate fires element.
  5-73. During operations, the collection management team—
  ⚫ Monitors the execution of the collection management plan.
  ⚫ Uses the information collection matrix to ensure collection assets focus on the proper HPTs (and
  their associated NAIs and TAIs).
  ⚫ Alerts the appropriate fires element as targets of opportunity present themselves.
  ⚫ Cross-cues collection assets to support the targeting effort.
  5-74. When detecting an HPT, the information is quickly disseminated to the FAIO to determine if the target
  meets the commander’s attack guidance, the target’s priority, and if the target complies with TSS. To ensure
  target-related intelligence is disseminated quickly, the FAIO is normally collocated in the intelligence cell
  with communications to the FSE/fires cell. The intelligence cell also supports targeting through other means
  in conjunction with the CEMA cell, space operations officer, and the rest of the staff. The FAIO coordinates
  with the intelligence cell and disseminates target-related intelligence directly to the FSE/fires cell. If the
  target meets the commander’s attack guidance and targeting priorities, it is actioned in accordance with the
  commander’s intent. In those instances when the situation dictates developing a new HPT, or when the staff
  assesses a significant change to an existing HPT, subsequent target development must occur. HPTs have the
  potential to change by targeting cycle, phase, activating event, or other criteria directed by the commander.
  When subsequent target development is necessary, the targeting information is forwarded for intelligence
  analysis and the target development process must occur quickly. Upon identifying a target specified for
  attack, analysts pass the target to the FSE/fires cell or the appropriate staff proponent, who directs the desired
  prosecution of effects against the target. (See ATP 2-01, ATP 2-01.3, and ATP 2-33.4.)
  DELIVER
  5-75. During the deliver function, the intelligence staff analyzes threat systems and their components to make
  a recommendation for generating the commander’s intended effect on the target although the fire support
  officer, in collaboration with the G-3/S-3, makes the final decision. The intelligence input is based primarily
  on the AGM—determining the most effective friendly means available to produce the commander’s desired
