About

Intelligence is knowledge of the battlespace and of the threat forces in that battlespace. Knowledge is generated in support of the commander's decisionmaking process and is the result of the collection, processing, exploitation, evaluation, integration, analysis, and interpretation of available information about the battlespace and threat. Intelligence Objectives Intelligence has two objectives: to reduce uncertainty by providing accurate, timely, and relevant knowledge about the threat and the surrounding environment, and to assist in protecting friendly forces (to include Department of Defense personnel, family members, resources, facilities and critical information) through counterintelligence (CI). Uncertainty pervades the battlespace—it is a fundamental attribute of war.
