KNOWLEDGE vs INTELLIGENCE MILITARY INTELLIGENCE KNOWLEDGEDEVELOPMENT • Focused on adversaries (actual or potential). • Refers to the Area of Ops. • J2/G2 responsibility. • Examines the Military domain. • Sources are primarily military. • Analysts are from the military. • Product: IPB – Intelligence Preparation of the Battle Space. • Focused on adversaries, potential adversaries, neutral and friendly nations or entities, plus their environments. • Refers to the entire Operational Environment. • Cross-functional endeavor and responsibility. • Examines all PMESII domains. • Encompasses the deliberate use of non-military sources. • Analysts are SMEs from both inside and outside the military. • Product: CPOE – Comprehensive Preparation of the Operational Environment.

5. KD MAIN CHARACTERISTICS • Holistic view. • Situational awareness. • Continuous, Adaptive, Networked. • From Global to Local. • Usable, Functional, Timely. • Common Pool of Information. • Contributors and Users. • Integrates results from other operational activities. • Level of Details differs at Different Levels.

6. LEVEL OF DETAILS EXAMPLE of Level of Detail and Granularity Required at Different Levels Topic: Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)

They do NOT have much time (be prepared to provide details) • YES Diagrams. • YES Pictures or Maps. • YES Notes. • YES Assessments. • YES “So What?”. BE CONCISE AND PRECISE! They need to make a TIMELY & RIGHT decision
