The CCDR, through the __________, identifies requirements for federated intelligence support to the JS J-2, which will facilitate the establishment of a federated intelligence support architecture. Select the correct answer.

• A. CCMD J-4
• B. CCMD J-3
• C. CCMD J-1
• D. CCMD J-2

Answer: (D)

In joint operations, the command’s intelligence focus drives the setup of any federated intel system. The CCDR relies on the combatant command’s own intelligence element—the CCMD J-2—to articulate and translate desired intelligence capabilities into requirements for the federated support framework. The CCMD J-2 then interfaces with the Joint Staff J-2 to shape and implement those requirements, ensuring the architecture can collect, fuse, and deliver intelligence across services and agencies. The other staff sections—J-3 handles operations, J-4 logistics, and J-1 manpower—deal with different domains, so they are not the primary channel for establishing intelligence support requirements.
