The Army engages in a variety of unique activities which may lend themselves to specific analytic techniques. These unique activities do not alter how analytic techniques are employed; only the information considered in the analytic processes changes. BUILDING PARTNERSHIP CAPACITY 6-26. Unified action may require inter-organizational efforts to build the capacity of partners to secure populations, protect infrastructure, and strengthen institutions as a means of protecting common security interests. Building partner capacity is the outcome of comprehensive inter-organizational activities, programs, and engagements that enhance the ability of partners for security, governance, economic development, essential services, rule of law, and other critical Government functions. Army security cooperation activities enable other inter-organizational coordination to build partner capacity for governance, economic development, essential services, rule of law, and other critical government functions. Through its presence along the range of military operations, the Army is involved in many of these activities during military engagement, limited interventions, peace operations, irregular warfare, and major combat operations. 6-27. Army security cooperation activities foster the development of information and intelligence- sharing agreements, enable a common understanding of the threat environment, support information sharing on disaster response issues, and establish procedures necessary to prevent the compromise of sensitive information. (See FM 3-22 for more information on Army security cooperation activities.)
