The Role of Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operating Environment in Support of Future Military Operations

Original language description

Contemporary and emerging security threats as well as lessons learned from recent military operations have already proved that in order to achieve operational objectives in the traditional physical domains (land, air, maritime, space) it is crucial to ensure dominance in the non-physical domains, i.e. the cyberspace, electromagnetic environment (EME) and information environment. Therefore, besides the physical operating domains, the ability to achieve dominance in the non-physical domains will be decisive for achievement of both military and non-military objectives of the campaign. The operational battle staff will be challenged to deconflict, coordinate, synchronize and integrate their operations in order to enable and deliver the synergic effect to confront multiple threats which may also include operations below the threshold of armed conflict from adversaries in every operating domain, including the non-physical ones. The article examines the role and significance of Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operating Environment (JIPOE) as one of the primary tools used to support joint operation planning, execution and assessment, thus contributing to synchronization and orchestration of multi-domain operations (MDO). In this respect, it is not possible to limit the analysis of the contemporary operating environment (OE), based on the Political, Military, Economic, Information, Infrastructure-Physical, Time (PMESII-PT) approach, only to the physical domains and their relationship to the non-physical ones. On the contrary, the authors are convinced that identification of a suitable method focused on effects of activities conducted either individually or jointly in the non-physical domains, their mutual convergence and relevance to the physical operating domains across all PMESII-PT areas will significantly contribute to the friendly forces’ ability to identify and assess the adversary’s centre of gravity (COG), critical vulnerabilities, intentions and courses of action (COAs), including respective indicators Thus, JIPOE products will provide the Joint Force Commander (JFC) with a holistic view of the OE which will be shared and developed in close cooperation with tactical level which should be able to overwhelm an adversary’s forces by combining capabilities across different domains. This centralized control and decentralized execution approach will be instrumental for creation of synergy of effects between the operational and tactical levels.
