ATP 2-01.3 constitutes current doctrine on how to systematically evaluate the effects of significant characteristics of the operational environment (OE) for specific missions. This publication—
– Describes how the commander and staff examine mission variables to understand how these variables may affect operations.
– Discusses intelligence preparation of the operational environment (IPOE) as a critical component of the military decision-making process, how IPOE supports decision making, and the integrating processes.
– Facilitates a common understanding, foundational concepts, and methods of the IPOE process.
The IPOE process is unique—it impacts the range of military operations, is relevant across all echelons, and is the fundamental element used in all planning and decision making. IPOE serves as the initial framework for analysis of the battlefield in all operations.
