About

The purpose of this publication is to emphasize the vital role that intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) plays in preparing for the next battle. It focuses on specific IPB requirements that have developed as a result of the AirLand Battle Doctrine and previous detailed instructions on how to apply IPB in previously unconsidered areas. The concepts presented in this publication are not radically new. However, as doctrine has shifted, these concepts have moved to the forefront of our concern and must be given in-depth consideration. The primary function of this publication is to provide the commander with the latest IPB doctrine. It also provides guidelines on how the commander may apply IPB in specific situations.
