A successful information collection effort results in the timely collection and reporting of relevant and accurate information, which either supports the production of intelligence or is disseminated as combat information. The information collection effort includes organic units and capabilities and support from DOD intelligence assets, as well as nonintelligence sources, which provide civil considerations and sociocultural information.
