About

Intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB) is the "systematic, continuous process of analyzing the threat and environment in a specific geographic area" (Marine Corps Supplement to the DoD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, hereafter referred to as USMC Dictionary). This is done to determine and evaluate adversary or enemy capabilities, vulnerabilities, and probable courses of action (COAs). The IPB process allows commanders and staffs to take a holistic approach to analyzing the operational environment. A holistic approach— • Describes the relevant aspects of the operational environment that can impact friendly, adversary, enemy, and neutral forces. • Accounts for all relevant domains that can affect friendly, adversary, and enemy operations.
