Which two entities are involved in federated intelligence support architecture?

• A. CCMD J-4 and JS J-3
• B. CCMD J-1 and JS J-1
• C. CCMD J-2 and JS J-2
• D. CCMD J-5 and JS J-5

Answer: (C)

Federated intelligence support architecture hinges on the intelligence components at both the Combatant Command level and the Joint Staff level. The two entities involved are the CCMD J-2 and the Joint Staff J-2. The CCMD J-2 provides theater-focused intelligence support—collection planning, analysis, and production tailored to a specific command’s area of responsibility. The Joint Staff J-2 offers overarching intelligence coordination across the services and national programs, establishing shared priorities, standards, and interoperability for the entire joint force. Together, they ensure intelligence products and capabilities are aligned, accessible, and usable across all levels of command. Other directorates handle different domains—logistics, operations, personnel, and plans—and do not manage intelligence support, so they don’t fit as the partners in this federated framework.
