00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:02.130
An intelligence section has

00:00:02.150 --> 00:00:04.910
just received an order.

00:00:04.930 --> 00:00:06.270
Doctrine gives it four steps

00:00:06.290 --> 00:00:08.070
to turn that order into

00:00:08.090 --> 00:00:09.930
the products the planners need.

00:00:10.390 --> 00:00:11.680
That is the agent

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:14.000
reading 2nd Brigade’s order,

00:00:14.020 --> 00:00:16.020
paragraph by paragraph.

00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:18.440
The section does this with a highlighter.

00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:19.930
Three of the five

00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:21.970
never reach the analyst:

00:00:21.990 --> 00:00:23.470
the validator rejects them,

00:00:23.490 --> 00:00:25.290
because each one cites the same

00:00:25.310 --> 00:00:28.230
passages as support and against itself.

00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:31.740
This one was executed on camera:

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.180
its own stream,

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:34.100
its own receipt.

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.120
One unit will not settle.

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:38.480
The analyst holds it open

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:40.580
and records why:

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.160
the section resolves it,

00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:45.340
or the senior analyst unresolved,

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:46.420
it goes to the planners

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:48.260
as an information requirement.

00:00:48.822 --> 00:00:51.774
Six products go to the planners:

00:00:51.794 --> 00:00:54.182
terrain and weather effects matrix,

00:00:54.202 --> 00:00:57.033
modified combined obstacle overlay,

00:00:57.053 --> 00:01:00.571
threat template, high-value target list,

00:01:00.591 --> 00:01:02.719
event template and matrix,

00:01:02.739 --> 00:01:04.811
and the enemy courses of action,

00:01:04.831 --> 00:01:06.601
most likely and most dangerous.

00:01:07.317 --> 00:01:10.593
Thirty-one agreed, twenty challenged just

00:01:10.613 --> 00:01:12.809
over seventy-six seconds of agent time.

00:01:13.004 --> 00:01:14.886
The same work by hand:

00:01:14.906 --> 00:01:17.277
eight to sixteen hours a Leidos

00:01:17.297 --> 00:01:19.273
subject-matter expert’s ballpark,

00:01:19.293 --> 00:01:21.447
assuming complete national-level data.

00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.580
Bring us your order,

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:26.260
your laydown, your planning tool.

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.430
We will run your scenario.
