2 SUMMARY OF CHANGES

AFSOCI14201 18 JULY 2011

This instruction has been substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Major changes include incorporating the role of the HQ AFSOC/A2O Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Operations Division and the 623rd Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) in the production and collection process for AFSOC. Additionally, Section C, PR Process, was broken out as a separate section for clarity. Section AGeneral 1. Applicability. This supplement applies to all Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) units and members including all AFSOC-gained Air National Guard (ANG) units, and all AFSOC-gained Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) units. 2. Background. In accordance with AFI 14201, AFSOC has several means of obtaining intelligence from the Defense Information Assurance Program (DIAP): 2.1. As a USAF MAJCOM, AFSOC may submit Requests for Information (RFI) or Production Requirements (PR) in support of Title X responsibilities (organize, train, and equip) to Air Force Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency (AFISRA)/ISR for validation. As the United States Air Force (USAF) Supporting Intelligence Center (SIC) (formerly known as the Validation Office (VO)), AFISRA/National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC)/XPR works with the requesting Major Command (MAJCOM) to clarify the RFI/PR. Once the RFI/PR is validated, NASIC assigns the task to the appropriate Intelligence Analysis Center (IAC) for production. 2.2. As the Air Force component of United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), HQ AFSOC submits operational, exercise, and other intelligence requirements directly supporting the unified command to USSOCOM, Intelligence Information Management Branch (J23 SCSO IIM), and RFIs directly supporting the theater command to the appropriate theater special operations command (TSOC). The SICs are responsible for validating RFIs and tasking IACs to satisfy RFIs. 2.3. For non-CONUS based/assigned AFSOC units, RFIs supporting theater commands are submitted by the units supporting intelligence element to the appropriate TSOC SIC. HQ AFSOC/A2O will be courtesy copied on all RFIs/PRs submitted by its subordinate units. Section BIntelligence Production and Dissemination Process 3. Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs). All military consumers of intelligence, from the smaller tactical unit to the largest military service, are responsible for requesting the specific operational intelligence that will meet its own intelligence requirements. PIRs are those intelligence requirements for which a commander has an anticipated and stated priority in the task of planning and decision making. There is no Department of Defense (DOD)established format for PIRs, as each command, service, or defense agency utilizes its own distinct format, albeit, with common data fields (i.e., who, what, where, etc.). AFSOC PIRs will be developed using USSOCOM PIRs (also referred to as the commanders top priorities) and the National Intelligence Priority Framework.

4. Request for Information (RFI). AFSOC units should use the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)developed Community OnLine Intelligence System for End Users and Managers (COLISEUM) as the primary tool to research, develop, review, validate, submit, and assign information requirements to production centers. Information requirements, sent as RFIs, should be submitted through COLISEUM following the originators chain of command for review and approval. Attachment 2 depicts an example RFI/PR form. Section CProduction Requirements (PR) Process 5. Production Process. If it is determined that new, finished intelligence derived from original research is required to satisfy all or a portion of the RFI, that need is expressed formally within the Department of Defense Intelligence Production Program (DODIPP) as a PR. Application centers produce or provide intelligence products, applications, and services based on validated/approved unit-level requirements. An application center is an organization that is not an officially recognized DODIPP producer of intelligence, but has the requisite expertise to provide the required intelligence/information to the requester/end user. AFSOC intelligence application centers include the Special Operations Support Squadron (SOSS) Intelligence Flight; the AOC ISRD and Analysis, Correlation, and Fusion (ACF); and the HQ AFSOC/A2O Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Operations Cell/Branch. 6. PR Timeline. In accordance with AFI 14201, Attachment 7, upon receipt of a validated RFI from a subordinate unit, the application center is required to send an initial response (IR) within five (5) working days upon receipt of the requirement back to the originator. To ensure expedient delivery of intelligence products, the originator determines the primary means of dissemination. This IR should be sent through COLISEUM and will include the designated point of contact for the RFI. The application center then generates a follow-up response (FR) within 20 working days of the RFI. Additionally, the application center generates a proposed product response (PPR) within 45 working days after receiving the RFI which represents a coordinated contract between the customer and the application center. The PPR contains sufficient detail to permit customer acceptance, rejection, or modification to include estimated production cost in the event additional funding is required. This negotiation process and any portion of the requirement not satisfied are documented in the Remarks section of COLISEUM PR record. 7. PR Process Flow. The diagram below highlights the AFSOC Continental United States (CONUS) unit PR process flow beginning with a unit-level request, through various application centers, culminating with a response back to the unit. Of note, the diagram depict close coordination between application centers, allows each level to provide the response, and, when needed, permits application centers to forward the request for supplementary detail to be applied.

Section DCM Requirements Submission Procedure 8. Background. Joint Pub 201 states that CM occurs at all levels of intelligence and converts validated intelligence requirements into collection requirements. Section B (above), or section B of Joint Pub 201 discusses the process for AFSOC assigned/gained units to submit intelligence requirements. This section will describe the AFSOC CM requirements submission procedure to include describing each unique intelligence discipline. 9. JCMRB. USSOCOM/SCSO J234 currently conducts the JCMRB to assess, synchronize, deconflict, and prioritize collection effects at the operational and strategic level. It identifies gaps/shortfalls, seams and friction points that remain unresolved following action officer working groups and strives to achieve synergy across the Geographic Combatant Commander (GCC) boundaries. 10. Human Intelligence (HUMINT). DOD HUMINT collection requirements formats (generally referred to as an Intelligence Collection Requirement (ICR)) are divided into four categories: HUMINT Collection Requirements (HCRs), ad-hoc HUMINT Requirements (AHRs), Time-Sensitive Collection Requirements (TSCRs), and Source Directed Requirements (SDRs). Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) HUMINT Manual (DIAM), Volume I (DIAM 3301.001) describes the format and tasking process for each category which are submitted via the HUMINT Online Tasking and Reporting System (HOTR). 11. Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). SIGINT requirements will be submitted via the National SIGINT Reporting System (NSRP). 12. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). The intelligence community is rapidly increasing capacity for OSINT collection and analysis to capture openly available data and fuse with traditional sources of intelligence data. OSINT requirements will be submitted via the Open Source Collection Acquisition RequirementManagement System (OSCARMS).
