The Intelligence Officers Handbook

By: The Department of the Army



WHY YOU NEED THIS HANDBOOK: The G2/S2 must provide continuous intelligence and information for the commander to conduct operations and minimize risk. Intelligence is the commander's decision-making tool. The commander, who drives intelligence, does so for planning before deployment, while enroute, and during operations and redeployment. The S2/NCO-- *Provides the commander timely and accurate intelligence, IPB & I&W, and vulnerability assessments for force protection, targeting, and BDA. *Makes decisive predictions on when and where an action will take place. *Prioritizes IR. *Integrates with other staff elements on I&S issues. *Provides the commander with a view of all facets of the battlefield. *Ensures his staff is trained. PURPOSE OF THIS HANDBOOK: This manual does not replace the doctrine and TTP contained in the other FM 34-series manuals; it does, however, focus on their application. It also summarizes information that helps the S2 manage and coordinate the CCIR. It provides the S2 the roles and missions required for executing the intelligence support function. The G2/S2 is the "Top Down"/"Bottom Up" integrator of RISTA operations, which have always been performed at the brigade and battalion levels.
