ADP 3-5

5-17. Special Forces Groups and the 75th Ranger Regiment have organic collection capabilities organized into Military Intelligence companies and detachments. These multidiscipline collection capabilities enable organic collection, when task organized and deployed, in support of special operations. In support of this mission, special operations intelligence staffs process requests for information, tailor, and disseminate products produced at the joint force, combatant command, and national levels for special operations. They combine this tailored intelligence with organic intelligence collection and tactical information collected by subordinates to develop all-source intelligence and products for the commander, staff, and operators. Critical to this process is the translation of operational requirements, articulated by tactical subordinates, into the information collection plan. Joint and Service component interoperability of intelligence systems is critical to successful information sharing and collaboration across the intelligence enterprise. Army special operations forces intelligence elements typically have a mix of Army and special operations-specific intelligence systems to enable this collaboration. Detailed theater intelligence architecture planning and coordination, for each deployment or operation, is essential for success.
