other, the degree of experience in working
together, and the level of standardization of
equipment, supplies, and operational
procedures all impact on the effectiveness of

d. Intelligence used in multinational
operations must be written simply, formatted
clearly, and be classified properly to ensure
its releasability to all operational forces
involved.
e. Sharing and mutual support are essential
to integrating all resources and capabilities
into a unified system that best fulfills the
prioritized intelligence needs for joint
operations.
f. Concepts and considerations applicable
to establishing JTF intelligence support for
multinational operations include the
following.
• Providing to the supported combatant
commander details on JTF multinational
intelligence architecture, organization,
collection, and dissemination plans.
• Adjusting for national differences. The
JTF J-2 should be flexible enough to
adjust to national concepts for
intelligence support in order to make
multinational action effective. For
example, a single director of
intelligence should be designated in the
JOA with intelligence and information
being exchanged.
• Striving for unity of effort to achieve a
common mission. The mission should
be viewed from a national as well as a
multinational perspective; a threat to one
element of the force by a common
adversary should be considered a threat
to all members.
• Determining and planning for
multinational intelligence. When
possible, multinational intelligence
requirements should be agreed upon,
