3-33. Determining what information or intelligence may be disclosed is based on the policies, directives, and laws that govern national disclosure policy and the release of classified information. While conducting operations, commanders and staffs ensure they know other nations’ positions on intelligence sharing and ensure that intelligence is shared to the degree possible, especially if required for mission accomplishment and force protection. Early information sharing during planning ensures that unified action partner requirements are clearly stated, guidance supports the commander’s intent, and the force uses procedures supportable by other nations. (See AR 380-10 for more discussions on foreign disclosure.)
