Questions and answers
What is geospatial intelligence?
Geospatial intelligence is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on or about the Earth. (paragraph 1-1)
What does GEOINT support in Army operations?
GEOINT is one of the single-source intelligence disciplines nested within the intelligence process (plan and direct, collect and process, produce, and disseminate and integrate), which generates information, products, and knowledge about threats, terrain and weather, and civil considerations. (paragraph 1-2)
How is a GEOINT collection asset selected?
The collection manager matches GEOINT collection asset capabilities and limitations to collection and exploitation requirements and determines which GEOINT collection asset best satisfies the requirements. (paragraph 4-48)
When is a domestic imagery release document required?
A domestic imagery release document is required when Army intelligence functions obtain imagery of private property. (paragraph 7-23)
What must GEOINT imagery analysts do with disseminated products?
Archive all products and data to reference or re-disseminate later. (paragraph 5-19)
