Purpose.

This instruction establishes policy and procedures to improve the integration of warfighter intelligence data across the Intelligence Community (IC).

a. The goal of joint enterprise integration (JEI) is the universal application of a common framework of interoperability standards for information processing networks, systems, applications, and databases at the Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Services, and Department of Defense (DoD) Intelligence Agencies. This common framework is intended to allow authorized users at all levels seamless access to and utility of data pertaining to their particular mission areas.

b. JEI is the set of processes and actions undertaken to synchronize, correlate, and deliver national security community data across intelligence enterprise architectures, enabling responsive access, configuration, manipulation, and employment of operational systems benefiting the execution of the National Military Strategy.

c. Integrating warfighter intelligence data improves users' production, analysis, and dissemination capabilities. JEI requires access (including discovery, search, retrieval, and display) to intelligence data among the warfighters, and other producers and users via standardized services and architectures. These users include, but are not limited to, the CCMDs, Services, Defense Agencies, the IC, and key partner and coalition nations.

Applicability. This instruction applies to:

a. The CCMDs, Services (including the Service Intelligence Centers), Joint Task Forces, and the Joint Staff (JS).

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. Warfighter intelligence is defined as intelligence and counterintelligence (CI) data collected using multiple domains and collection disciplines at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels, and the products resulting from analysis and fusion of collected intelligence data.
