- Supports campaign plan development, crisis management, deliberate planning, contingency planning, and time-sensitive planning using JPP and APEX processes.
- Produces intelligence operations supportability assessments and supports red-teaming functions to challenge assumptions and improve plan rigor.
Collaboration & Relationship Management
- Maintains effective working relationships with IC partners, DoD stakeholders, policy committees, and law enforcement organizations to advance intelligence planning.
- Coordinates intelligence support across USINDOPACOM components, Service elements, JS J2, ODNI, and national-level intelligence stakeholders.
Defense Intelligence Capability Integration
- Integrates and prioritizes Defense Intelligence capabilities to meet CCDR requirements across all phases of operation.
- Supports the development of intelligence inputs for Joint Operational Planning, including phase lines, operational objectives, and collection strategies.
- Identifies intelligence gaps and capability shortfalls to inform JSPS, ODNI Unifying Intelligence Strategies (UIS), and intelligence modernization needs.
Production & Collection Requirements Alignment
- Collaborates with Analytic and Collections Division staff to evaluate capability gaps and operational requirements.
- Plans intelligence operations to enable optimized employment of GEOINT, SIGNINT, MASINT, HUMINT, CI, OSINT, and other capabilities.
- Helps synchronize collection posture across theater to satisfy analytic and operational shortfalls.
Boards, Centers, Working Groups (B2C2WGs)
- Participates in Intelligence Planning Boards, Centers, Cells, and Working Groups.
- Provides intelligence planning insights to support global integration through JS J2 and ODNI.
- Supports NISP development, staffing, and associated J2/J3 processes.
Situational Awareness & Threat Assessment
- Maintains global situational awareness, identifying emerging threats to national security to inform planning activities.
- Updates intelligence assessments and contributes to rapid revisions during crisis-action planning or new threat developments.
Plan Development & APEX/JPP Execution
- Translates strategic guidance (NSS, NDS, JSCP, CPG, theater guidance) into campaign plans, contingency plans, and EXORD support.
- Prepares, updates, and refines Annex B, NISP products, intelligence estimates, and planning appendices.
- Upon Presidential or SECDEF direction, supports execution of NISPs and provides inputs to execute orders.
IPT Leadership & Intelligence Architecture Development
- Leads or supports Intelligence Planning Teams (IPTs) consisting of all-source analysts, targeteers, collection managers, system architects, and SMEs across disciplines.
- Develops IP timelines synchronized to JPP/APEX milestones, ensuring tailored JIPOE products, Staff Estimates, and intelligence baselines are incorporated.
- Incorporates IPT outputs into annexes, appendices, and final planning documentation.
JIPOE Lead Responsibilities
- Orchestrates JIPOE support to provide detailed assessments of the operational environment, adversary capabilities, COG analysis, vulnerabilities, targeting information, and likely adversary COAs.
- Coordinates across CCMD JIOCs to evaluate databases, holdings, and gaps relevant to planning.
Red Team Coordination
- Works with the USINDOPACOM Red Team to evaluate intelligence assumptions, challenge biases, and validate feasibility of IP products.
Operational Objectives & Measures of Effectiveness
- Nominates operational objectives, desired effects, and mission success criteria.
- Ensures intelligence capabilities are aligned to measure performance, assess risk, and inform readiness to meet prescribed intelligence battle tasks.
Exercise, Working Group, & Conference Support
- Supports planning conferences, exercises, war games, and execution events across the AOR—may require periodic international travel.
- Facilitates IP B2C2WGs (e.g., IPTs, Planning Groups, Executive Steering Boards), drafting executive-level summaries.
Readiness Reporting
- Manages intelligence planning goals and readiness indicators within the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS).
- Consolidates inputs to produce quarterly CCMD readiness reporting.
