About

MCWP 2-10 Intelligence Operations 1-2 Intelligence has two basic complementary objectives. First, intelligence provides accurate, timely, and relevant knowledge about the enemy (or potential enemy) and the surrounding environment. In other words, the primary objective of intelligence is to support decision making by reducing uncertainty about the hostile situation to a reasonable level—recognizing, of course, that the fog of war renders anything close to absolute certainty impossible. The second intelligence objective is "protecting friendly forces through counterintelligence (Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication [MCDP] 2, Intelligence). Uncertainty permeates the battlespace and is an attribute of all military activities.
