scope:

Purpose . The purpose of this instruction is to establish policy and procedures for improving the horizontal integration (HI) of warfighter intelligence data.

a. HI is the set of processes and capabilities to acquire, synchronize, correlate, and deliver national security community data with responsiveness to ensure success across all policy and operational missions.

b. Horizontally integrating warfighter intelligence data improves the consumers' production, analysis and dissemination capabilities. HI requires access (including discovery, search, retrieval, and display) to intelligence data among the warfighters and other producers and consumers via standardized services and architectures. These consumers include, but are not limited to, the combatant commands, Services, Defense agencies, and the Intelligence Community.

Applicability . This instruction applies to:

a. The Services (including the Service intelligence centers), combatant commands, and the Joint Staff.

b. The collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and production, and dissemination activities conducted or governed by DOD intelligence agencies. The DOD intelligence agencies are the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the National Security Agency/Central Security Service (NSA/CSS), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

c. All counterintelligence (CI) activities/agencies within the DOD.

d. Warfighter intelligence data, defined as intelligence data collected by assets (overhead, airborne, terrestrial, sea-based, undersea and human) at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels; and the products resulting from analysis and fusion of collected intelligence data.
