BASIC INTELLIGENCE

INTELLIGENCE – IS THE PRODUCT COMBAT INTELLIGENCE – IS THAT

RESULTING FROM THE COLELCTION,
EVALUATION, ANALYSIS, INTEGRATION &
ITERPRETATION OF ALL AVAILABLE
INFORMATION, WHICH CONCERNS A
FOREIGN NATION, OR AN AREA OF
OPERATION.
MILITARY INFORMATION – MEANS ALL
FACTS, DOCUMENTS, MATERIALS,
PHOTOGRAPH, DIAGRAM, MAPS & REPORTS
OF OBSERVATION OF ANY KIND WHICH
INCREASES OUR KNOWLEDGE OF A
POSSIBLE OR ACTUAL ENEMY OR AREA OF
OPERATIONS.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE – IS A
KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED THROGUH THE
COLLECTION, EVALUATION, &
INTERPRETATION OF ALL INFORMATION
CONCERNING A POSSIBLE OR ACTUAL
ENEMY OR AREA OF OPERATIONS,
INCLUDING THE WEATHER & TERRAIN.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENEMY, WEATHER &
TERRAIN REQUIRED BY A COMDR IN
PLANNING & CONDUCTING TACTICAL
OPERATION. IT IS DEVELOPED DURING
THE CONDUCT OF THE OPERATIONS
MODIFICATION OF THE ORIGINAL
OPERATION PLAN WHICH MAY BE
APPRCIATED.
COUNTER INTELLIGENCE – IS AN
ASPECT WHICH COMPRISES CIVIL &
MILITARY MEASURES, INCLUDING THE
COLLECTION, RPOCESSING &
DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION, &
EXECUTIVE ACTIONS, DESIGNED TO
COUNTER ENEMY OR TO PREVENT
SABOTAGE OR SUBVERSION ACTIVITIES.
INTELLIGENCE AXIOM – ARE FACTS
THAT REQUIRED NO DOUBT BECAUSE THE
TRUTHS OF THESE STATEMENTS ARE
OBIOUS.

PRINCIPLES OF INTELLIGENCE

1. INTELLIGENCE IS CONTINUES. CERTAIN INTELLIGENCE REQUIREMENT OF A

ALL INTTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES COMDR OR HIS OPERATING TROOPS.
FOLLOW A FOUR (4) STAGE CYCLE: PLANING, THE INTELLIGENCE OPERATION IS NOT
COLLECTION, EVALUATION & TERMINATED, UNTIL POSITIVE RESULTS
DISSEMINATION. COME OUT.
THE CYCLE IS CONTINOUOS & ALL
STEPS ARE CARRIED OUT IN AN ORDERLY 4. INTELLIGENCE MUST BE TIMELY.
FASHION. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE BEST INTELLIGENCE IS
UNSYSTEMATIC & INEFFICIENT OF WORTHLESS IF IT DOES NOT REACH THE
INFORMATION. ANY LEAD MUS BE USER IN TIME FOR APPROPRIATE ACTION.
FOLLOWED VIGOROUSLY. THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AN
CHECK THE RELIABILITY OF THE EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF DESSIMINATING
SOURCE TO VERIFY THE RAW OF INTELLIGENCE, AS THE TIMELESS OF EACH
INFORMATION. DO ANYTHING TO MAKE BIT OF INFORMATION MUST BE EXPLOITED.
THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE IS USEFUL
FORM. 5. INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS MUST BE
FLEXIBLE.
2. INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES ARE
TACTICAL OPERATIONS ARE ALWAYS BASED ON LOGICAL STEPS.
INTERDEPENDENT. STANDARD INTELLIGENCE PROCEDURES
MAKE INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS
3. INTELLIGENCE MUST BE USEFUL. EFFECTIVE, BUT MUST NOT BE FOLLOWED
OTHERWISE, WHAT DO OPERATING BLINDLY. PROCEDURES CAN BE CHANGED
TROOPS NEED IT FOR? IT FOCUS ON A TO MEET REQUIREMENTS.
 INTELLIGENCE AXIOM

A. AXIOM NR 1 – INTELLIGENCE IS CRUCIAL TO INTERNAL SECURITY.

B. AXIOM NR 2 – INTELLIGENCE IS ESSENTIAL TO ALL TYPS OF OPNS.
1) INTERNAL DEFENSE OPERATIONS.
2) INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS.
3) PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS.
C. AXIOM NR 3 – INTELLIGENCE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL GOVT AGENCIES.
D. AXIOM NR 4 – INTELLIGENCE OF THE GOVT MUST BE SUPERIOR TO THAT OF THE ENEMY.

INTELLIGENCE CYCLE

IN THE STUDY OF INTEL CYCLE IT IS NOT IMPORTANT WHICH PHASES IS CONISDERED

FIRST INFORMATION OF INTELLIGENCE CAN BE INSERTED IN ANY PHASES AS APPROPRIATE.
THE INTEL CYCLE HAS NO BEGINNING AND NO END. ANY SEQUENCE WHICH LOGICALLY
ORGANIZE THROUGH PROCESSES IS WORKABLE.

4 PHASES OF INTELLIGENCE CYCLE

1. PLANNING OF THE COLLECTION AREA OF OPN WHICH WOULD INDICATE THE

EFFORT. ANSWER TO THE INTEL REQUIREMETNS.
4) SELECTION OF COLLECTION AGENCIES TO
THE COMDR MUST MAKE CERTAIN THAT HE BE EMPLOYED AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE
HAS NEEDS, WHEN HE NEEDS IT. HE IS NECESSARY ORDERS AND REQUEST FOR
CONTINUALLY WONDERING WHAT THE ENEMY IFNORMATION.
IS DOING, THINKING, & PLANNING FOR THE 5) SUPERVISING THE EXECUTION OF ORDER
FUTURE OPERATIONS, & ABOUT THE NATURE AND REQUEST.
OF THE TERRAIN NOT UNDER HIS CONTROL.
2. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.
5 STEPS IN COLLECTION EFFORTS
1) DETERMINATION OF INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION – IS THE SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS. EXPLOITATION OF SOURCES OF
2) DERTIMINATION OF INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION BY COLLECTION AGENCIES &
PRIORITIES. THE DELIVERY OF THE INFORMATION
3) DETERMINATION OF THOSE ENEMY OBTAINED TO THE PROPER INTELLIGENCE
ACTIVITIES OF CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SECTION.
 INTEL OFFR MUST BE ENSURE OF A
CONTINUOUS INPUT OF RELIABLE INFO
CONCERNING THE DIPOSITION, STRENGTH,
COMPOSITION & MOVEMENT OF THE
HOSTILE FORCES, AS WELL AS INFO
CONCERNING WEAHTER & TERRAIN.
HE MUST USE EVRY MEANS OF HIS
DISPOSAL TO GAIN INFO ON THE ENEMY
FORCES WITHIN THE OF INTEREST WHICH
MAY AFFACT THE PREPARATION & DETERMINING ITS SIGNIFICANCE WITH
EXECUTION OF HIS PLANS.
FAILURE TO EXPLOIT EVERY SOURCE
OF INFORMATION MAY DENY IMPORTANT
INFO OF HOSTILE CAPABILITIES,
VULNERABILITIES & PROBALE COURSES OF
ACTION.
INTEL OFFR PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO
KEEP THE COMDR, STAFF, HIGHER &
SUBORDINATE UNITS INFORMED OF THE
ENEMY & THE AREAS OF OPERATIONS.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION - ARE PERSONS,
THINGS, OR ACTIONS FROM WHICH
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENEMY, WEATHER
OR TERRRAIN IS DERIVED.
COLLECTION AGENCY – IS NAVY PERSON,
UNIT OR ACTIVITY THAT COLLECT AND/OR
PROCESSES INFORMATION BY RESEARCH,
SURVEILLANCE, INTERROGATION OR OTHER
EXPLOITATION OF RESOURCES.
3. PROCESSING OF INFORMATION.
PROCESSING – IS THE STEP WHICH INTEL IS
CREATED FROM THE RAW MATERIAL OF
INFO. IT CONSIST OF THREE (3) STEPS:
1) THE RECORDING OF INFO SO THAT IT CAN
BE COMPARED WITH OTHER ITEMS ON HAND.
2) THE EVALUATION OF INFO OR ORDER TO
DETERMINE ITS INTELLIGENCE VALUE.
3) THE INTERPRETATION OF THE INFO IN
RELATION TO OTHER INFO & INTEL ON HAND
IN ORDER TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS
REGARDING ITS MEANING.
IN A TACTICAL SITUATION THE COMDR WANTS
INTEL, NOT JUST INFORMATION, WHICH TO
BASE HIS DECISION OR PLANS. THE INTEL
OFFR IS NOT PERFORMING HIS JOB IF HE
MERELY PRESENTS HIS COMDR WITH A
COMPILATION OF INFO WITHOUT
DETERMINING ITS SIGNIFICANCE.
EVALUATION – INTEL OFFR MUST EXAMINE
EACH ITEM OF INFORMATION AS SOON AS IT
IS RECEIVED TO DETERMINE ITS INTEL
VALUE.
INTERPRETATION OF INFO – CONSIST OF
RESPECT TO OTHER INFO OR PREVIOUSLY
COLLECTED & PROCESSED INTEL & FINALLY
DRAWING CONCLUSIONS AS THE PROBABLE
MEANING OF THE INFO.
EVALUATION & INTERPRETATION TOGETHER
ARE THE ESSENTIAL STEPS IN PROCESSING.
KEEP IN MINE THAT THE COMDR WANTS INTEL
& NOT MERELY A COMPILATION OF INFO.
4. DISSEMINATION AND USE OF
INTELLIGENCE.
DISSEMINATION AND USE OF INTEL –
INTELLIGENCE IS THE END PRODUCT OF ALL
INTEL ACTIVETIES. TO BE USED IT MUST BE
DISSEMINATED TO THE COMDR, HIS STRAFF,
AND OTHER WHO REQUIRE IT IN PROPER
FORM & IN TIME SERVE THE PURPOSE.
THE COMDR RECEIVED INTEL FROM INTEL
OFFR IN THE FORM OF INTEL ESTIMATE. THE
INTEL ESTIMATES GIVES THE COMDR THE
BEST POSSIBLE PICTURE OF THE AREA OF
OPERATION AND THE ENEMY WITHOUT
IRRELEVANT DETAILS.
THE INTEL ESTIMATE BRINGS TOGETHER
SIGNIFICANT ASPECT OF THE WEATHER,
TERRAIN & THE ENEMY. IT ENUMERATES &
DISCUSSES THE ENEMY’S CAPABILITIES, HIS
WEAKNESS AS WELLS AS HIS FAVORABLE
QUALITIES & THEIR EFFECT ON OUR MISSION.
DISSEMINATION TO OTHER USER ARE
ACCOMPLISHED BY MEANS OF RADIO
MESSAGE, MESSENGER, OR BY ANY RAPID
MEANS OF SIGNAL COMMUNICATION &
PERSONAL CONTACT (TELEPHONE,
PERSONAL REPORTS, INTEGRATING REPORT,
OPERATING ORDERS, & OTHER SPECIAL
REPORTS.
