Particular attention should be given to the chapters dealing with Operations Other Than War (OOTW) and Information Operations.

The focus is on intelligence production at corps-level and below, and it applies to tasks assigned to intelligence officers, warrant officers, NCO's and analysts at various skill levels. As such, this is the Army's principal publication on intelligence analysis.
