Chapter 2 74 ATP 5-0.2-1 07 December 2020 INTEGRATING PROCESSES 2-238. Commanders and staffs integrate the warfighting functions and synchronize the force to adapt to changing circumstances throughout the operations process. They use several integrating processes to do this. An integrating process consists of a series of steps that incorporate multiple disciplines to achieve a specific end. For example, during planning, the MDMP integrates the commander and staff in a series of steps to produce a plan or order. Key integrating processes that occur throughout the operations process include— Intelligence preparation of the battlefield. Information collection. Targeting. Risk management. Knowledge management. 2-239. This publication describes in further detail intelligence preparation of the battlefield (see paragraph 2-240), IC (see paragraph 2-312), and targeting (see paragraph 2-348). For more information on risk management see ATP 5-19. For additional information on knowledge management see ATP 6-01.1. Figure 2-15 shows key products developed from the MDMP, IPB, IC, and targeting and how the processes interrelate. Figure 2-15. The MDMP-IPB-Targeting-IC relationships
