Intelligence Directorate (J2)

U.S. Joint Forces Command’s (USJFCOM) Intelligence Directorate (J2) supports the command with the intelligence resources and innovative responses to the complex threats expected on the battlefields of the 21st century.

USJFCOM provides highly-skilled military and civilian intelligence personnel to support operational forces. J2 works with the Joint Staff and national intelligence agencies to identify and provide commanders with trained and ready intelligence personnel to successfully complete their missions.

The directorate focuses on implementing continuous improvements in information technology to ensure the interoperability and integration of intelligence systems to enhance warfighting capabilities, as well as developing information systems and network requirements.

J2 is also responsible for ensuring joint intelligence training programs support joint operations. It provides oversight for developing doctrine, modeling and simulation systems and tactics, techniques and procedures used to drive realistic training and exercises.

The requirement for rapid response to threats and targets mandates the integration of intelligence and operations and development of new doctrine, organizations, processes, and training to support emergent operations-intelligence needs.

The directorate’s joint intelligence concept development and experimentation program develops responses to new and emerging threats and challenges.

The command uses an approach that identifies the critical interactions among friendly and enemy political, economic, military, social, information, and infrastructure domains.
