Adaptive Intelligence Planning: The Combatant Command J2 Fulcrum for Leveraging National Intelligence Support and Resources Today and Tomorrow

摘要

The development of national Intelligence Campaign Plans (ICP), recently changed to Adaptive Intelligence Planning (AIP), was an Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)) initiative in response to perceived intelligence failures surrounding the events on 11 September 2001, and part of an overall plan to transform US defense intelligence. AIP would define, link and integrate defense intelligence support to Geographic Combatant Command/Functional Combatant Command (GCC/FCC) requirements in their Operation Plans (OPLAN). Given the amount of attention on viewed disconnects between the IC and the warfighter, it may come as a surprise that some GCC/FCCs remain reluctant to invest time and attention to AIP. But is this reluctance warranted. The answer is no.
