Intelligence Support to Allied and Coalition Operations: 

Intelligence Support to Allied and Coalition Operations 16th Annual SO/LIC Symposium Strategic Environment for Coalition Warfare 3 Feb 2005

Questions In Today’s War: 

Questions In Today’s War When we conduct a combat operation (e.g. capture of an HVT) to gather intelligence… is that “intel” or “ops”? What’s the difference between a “Title 50” and “Title 10” Operation? Are we sharing information among Coalition partners as well as we should?

Key Issues: 

Key Issues If you want “Actionable Intelligence,” you must take “Action” first Future military conflicts will be a “Fight for Knowledge” for both General Purpose and Special Operations Forces. Everyone is an intelligence collector.

All-Source Analysis: 

All-Source Analysis The Intelligence Community is responsible for Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis depends on access to the same data Sharing “raw” data is our challenge Cold War model depends on “finished products” Today’s challenge requires access to raw data Tension between “need to know” and “need to share”

Slide5: 

IAW the President’s intent in E.O. 13356: DoD is aggressively pursuing mechanisms to share information and intelligence among all who need it, including Coalition partners The U.S. and Coalition partners have already made significant strides in sharing critical intelligence Current Coalition Sharing Capabilities: US LOCE (Linked Ops-Intel Centers – Europe) BICES (Multi-National Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System – NATO) CENTRIXS (Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System – Worldwide) Coalition Intelligence Information Sharing “Today”

Slide6: 

These systems provide a robust infrastructure for: e-mail and web services common intelligence picture (data bases/ imagery) common operational picture (track data) secure voice collaboration and chat These capabilities allow users to share critical information and intelligence on this robust architecture across: Combatant Commands Components Embassies Allies/Coalition forces They have been used and validated in real world operations to include: OEF, OIF, ISAF, and Tsunami relief Coalition Intelligence Information Sharing “Today”

Slide7: 

Support current Nation and NATO led operations Ensure new NATO Nations are connected Provide expanded connectivity to Non-NATO nations and organizations as required Support the transformation of NATO Where possible, ensure BICES capabilities are focused on deployability and usability The NATO BICES Agency is currently supporting multiple on-going NATO/EU operations

Improving Information Sharing : 

Improving Information Sharing Series of Demonstrations and Exercises Trial Hammer (Apr 05) First-ever NATO demonstration focused on Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) Demonstrates a new NATO ELINT standard based on a common format Empire Challenge (Oct 05) Coordinates and Demonstrates UK/AUS/US Airborne Imagery interoperability MAJIIC (Multi-Sensor Aerospace/Ground Joint ISR Interoperability – Coalition) April 05 - ACTD Sponsored by JFCOM Introduces the DCGS Integrated Backbone (DIB) architecture to key allies

NATO Intelligence Fusion Cell : 

NATO Intelligence Fusion Cell Organization capable of providing effective , fused Theater strategic and U.S. reinforcing operational intelligence support to NATO operations with: Flexibility and agility for immediate response to emerging missions and crises – Capable of supporting current NATO operations and expanding for a NRF deployment Standing reach-back within AOR and out of area Stay within existing agreements and treaties Create a core of allies experienced in common TTPs Focused allied integration with JAC to assist partners in sharing intelligence requirements Establish more responsive request for information (RFI) processes Develop new business process to create functional partnerships and maximize theater analytic capabilities

Operationalizing Intelligence: 

Operationalizing Intelligence Cold War Model: Intelligence is primarily a staff function Intelligence activities support Operations New Model: Where our main challenge is Finding the adversary Intelligence is a Warfighting function Intelligence activities are Operations We need Intelligence Components to parallel the Ground, Air, Maritime, and SOF Components

Intelligence Campaign Plans: 

Intelligence Campaign Plans Cold War Model: Warplans assign tasks and responsibilities to traditional maneuver forces only The C/J2 conducts necessary intelligence work New Model: Build Campaign Plans that synchronize and integrate all Intelligence Operations to achieve military objectives Win the Intelligence Fight long before and long after a military conflict Include Coalition numbers in the Campaign Plans
