APPENDIX 7 TO ANNEX B TO CFC OPLAN (KOREA) 9518X-XX
IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE
1. General
a. Purpose. To establish IMINT collection responsibilities and planning instructions applicable to
CFC and JTF Korea.
b. Responsibilities. CJG2 exercises staff responsibility for IMINT collection activities.
(1) CFC Collection Management Office exercises day to day control of IMINT tasking.
(2) The fusion of IMINT with intelligence collected from other sources is conducted by the
all source CFC Joint Intelligence Center (JIC).
2. Imagery Intelligence Organizations. TBD upon implementation of the OPLAN. Imagery assets that
can be requested include the Predator UAV, theater, and national level imagery collectors.
a. Assignment of Imagery Collection Requirements. The assignment of imagery collection
requirements for JTF Korea, theater, or national use depends on the justification of the requirement and
the availability and capability of collection systems. Theater and national systems are limited and must
respond to competing requirements from both government and military users.
(1) National Systems. National collection assets are best suited for denied areas not
accessible by theater collection platforms. Although tasking these systems can be done in a relatively
short time (24-48 hours), results may not always be available for rapid dissemination to the requester.
(2) Theater Assets. The primary function of theater collection assets is to respond to the
operational needs of JTF Korea and its components. Requirements tasked to theater assets can normally
be tasked and received in a timely manner. Theater systems will be used to their full capacity before
tasking national systems
3. Collection Activities, Functions, and Plans. All coaliton forces will forward imagery intelligence
collection requirements to the CJG2 Collection Management and Dissemination (CM&D) IMINT section.
All standing requirements must be sent 72 hours in advance and time sensitive requirements 12 hours in
advance.
4. Concept of Operations for Imagery Collection, Processing, and Production.
a. Areas of IMINT responsibility are the JOA land mass and coastal waters.
b. IMINT collection will be a continuous process during the pre-execution and execution phases
of the OPLAN. Primary focus of IMINT collection will be directed toward:

(1) Providing maximum indications and warning of impending attack.
(2) Satisfying EEI and IR outlined in this OPLAN.
(3) Obtaining pre and post-attack intelligence on planned targets.
c. Processing. The initial processing and reporting of IMINT materials will be through normal
channels for each collector. After initial processing, all materials will be forwarded to JIC for subsequent
processing and interpretation.
d. The Joint Deployable Intelligence Support System (JDISS) is the primary server for IMINT
products.
5. Reporting
a. Responsive and timely reporting and dissemination of IMINT collection results are critical to
satisfying intelligence objectives contained in this OPLAN. IMINT reporting and dissemination will be
accomplished according to existing national, CFC, and component/subordinate command's guidance,
directives, and regulations.
b. Imagery reports and products will be disseminated via TACNET, SIPRNET, RWS, and courier
when necessary.
c. IMINT reporting methods will vary according to urgency and perishability of the intelligence
collected. Primary reporting mediums include:
(1) In-flight Report.
(2) Mission Report.
(3) Reconnaissance Exploitation Report.
(4) Initial Photographic Interpretation Report.
(5) Supplemental Photographic Interpretation Report.
d. IMINT products available for dissemination include photographic prints, photographic
interpretation reports, and film. Distribution of these products will be restricted to operational necessity
and will be in consonance with national, CFC, and component/subordinate command directives,
regulations, and guidance. Release of IMINT products to allied or coalition forces will be controlled by
CJG2.
6. Coordination. All organizations receiving imagery intelligence will maintain the appropriate dialogue
and exchange of IMINT information. The JIC will coordinate all exchange of IMINT information to avoid
duplication of effort and to ensure maximum use of cross service/national support with all agencies
available.
