BLUF

Operational commanders must actively own their intelligence programs by guiding priorities and engaging analysts. Success requires commanders to act as both consumers and contributors, shaping intelligence into a decision-making tool, rather than a detached product.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Apply lessons from U.S. practice to enhance ADF commanders’ engagement with intelligence teams.
  • Assess how Australian commanders can shape priority intelligence requirements to align with national intelligence assets and coalition partners.
  • Develop approaches for RAAF and ADF leaders to balance trust and effective use of intelligence analysts in support of joint and coalition operations.
