This SOP delineates responsibilities and outlines duties for All Source Analysis System (ASAS) operations for the Analysis and Control Element (ACE). This SOP covers operations with the ASAS and manual analytical operations as required. The mission of the ACE is to provide all-source, timely and predictive intelligence to the supported commander. The ACE will plan, direct and synchronize intelligence collection operations in support of the commander’s Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIR) and targeting efforts, produce All Source (AS) intelligence products for subordinate units, and disseminate intelligence and targeting data to subordinate units. The ACE will accomplish this mission by incorporating ASAS into daily operations. Operators will use ASAS in the production of threat estimates, country studies, INTSUMs, Read books, RFIs and all aspects of daily operations. ASAS will interface with a variety of communication links and intelligence organizations, providing single-source and all-source intelligence for the use of the supported commander, and for consumption by higher, lower, and lateral headquarters. ASAS will be the backbone of the ACE analytical effort. However, the ACE will use both integrated and stand-alone adjunct intelligence systems in addition to the ASAS in order to accomplish its mission. The ACE must be prepared to move at any time via air, rail or truck.
