Analytic Support to Unique Missions 18 August 2014 ATP 2-33.4 7-5 7-18. Complementary enablers and capabilities that support intelligence analysis for site exploitation are—  Collaboration and the intelligence warfighting function.  Biometrics and biometrics-enabled intelligence.  Law enforcement.  Defense Forensics Enterprise and forensic-enabled intelligence.  Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear.  Explosive ordnance disposal assets.  Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (also called JIEDDO) capabilities.  Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization Knowledge Information Fusion Exchange (also called JKNIFE).  Expeditionary forensic laboratories.  Military Intelligence companies’ multifunctional teams.  Counterinsurgency Targeting Program.  Counter Radio-Controlled IED Electronic Warfare.  Counter-IED Operations Integration Center.  International CIED teams. 7-19. The collection and analysis of items of forensic value have become vital to the intelligence and targeting efforts, but are only useful if the value of the materiel is recognized. Exploitation depends on individuals who have a fundamental awareness of the importance of the information potential of items available for collection onsite. The decision regarding what materiel to collect and exploit should primarily be based on the contextual significance of the items. 7-20. Site exploitation provides information that allows the commander and staff to identify and engage friendly, neutral, and hostile networks that influence the operational environment. The information provided by site exploitation can be used to build a detailed knowledge of a network’s relational dynamics and to do so within the context of a dynamic operational environment. Techniques successfully employed in analysis of information derived from site exploitation include—  Association matrix, which portrays the existence of an association (known or suspected) between individuals.  Activities matrix analysis, which shows the relationships in large datasets by establishing the similarities between the nodes and links in a network of people.  Pattern analysis, which is used to show the location of the results of a site exploitation and the time. This tool supports site exploitation targeting to answer the question of where and when certain materiel is detected and collected. 7-21. When supporting site exploitation, intelligence analysts should share data, information, and intelligence through proper channels with other intelligence organizations. These intelligence organizations will assist the analyst in analyzing the information, material, and persons gathered through site exploitation and produce intelligence. 7-22. Archived data can be a valuable source of information and may aid future targeting, intelligence analysis, and/or support to legal proceedings. In addition, archived data can provide historical context to current and future operations and enhanced opportunities to respond to critical requests for information. 7-23. Units must establish connectivity with intelligence organizations, explosive ordnance disposal, theater laboratories, and other organizations to access the appropriate archived data. Harmony is the primary archive database. It is the national intelligence database for foreign document and media exploitation and translations management. It is the single, comprehensive bibliographic reference for all available primary source foreign technical and military documents and their translations. Harmony supports tactical through strategic users. It is available to all units with access to SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network, Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications Systems (also called JWICS), and StoneGhost networks.
