Questions and answers
What data is required for historic analysis?
To have historic data for analysis, there must be persistent, broad-scale logging on the network. (paragraph 1-4)
What is an analytic scheme of maneuver?
The analytic scheme of maneuver is the plan to collect and analyze technical data to meet specific information requirements. (paragraph 2-1)
What must an analytic scheme of maneuver include?
The analytic scheme of maneuver must include sufficient information to direct subordinate units, such as who performs the analysis, data transport and storage, the systems used for collection or analysis, and reporting or follow-on actions required. (paragraph 2-5)
How should units select analytic capabilities and data?
Units must select these carefully, based on their operational context. (paragraph 1-18)
What are the major enduring analytic support tasks?
The major analytic support tasks are Training. Capability posturing. Knowledge management. Enduring priorities. (paragraph 5-2)
