Military Intelligence Report

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
I.
Definition of Terms:
Military Intelligence - knowledge of a possible or actual enemy or area of

operations acquired by the collection, evaluation and interpretation of military
information.
Combat Intelligence - knowledge of the enemy, weather, and the terrain
that is used in the planning and conduct of tactical operations.
Counter Intelligence - activity pertains to all security control measures
designed to ensure the safeguarding of information against espionage, personnel
against subversion, and installations or material against sabotage.
II.
Methods of Reporting Information:
The evaluation of each item of information is indicated by a standard

system.
a.
The evaluation of reliability is indicated by a letter as follows:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Completely reliable
Usually reliable
Fairly reliable
Not usually reliable
Unreliable
Reliability not judged
An "A" evaluation of service is assigned under on by unusual

circumstances.
Ex. When the source of service is our officer of long experience and
extensive background.
A rating of "B" indicates an informant of known integrity.
Ratings of "C". "D" and "E" indicate progressively decreasing
degrees of reliability.
An "F" rating is assigned when there is no adequate basis
estimating the reliability of the source.
Agencies are ordinarily rated "A", "B", "C", however, when the
source of our own items and collecting reporting agency are evaluated
differently, only the lower degree of reliability is indicated.
b.
Evaluation of the accuracy of an information is indicated by a
numeral as follows:
1.
Confirmed by other agencies
2.
Probably true
3.
Possibly true
4.
Doubtfully true
5.
Improbable
6.
Truth cannot be judge
Although both letter and figure are usual to indicate the evaluation
placed an item of information, the letter and figure are independent to each other
which is on the basis of other information, judged to the improbable; the
evaluation of the information is therefore. "A-5" conversely, a source known to be
unreliable may report information which is confirmed by other sources and is

undoubted accuracy, such a report in evaluation, "E".
In reporting to higher, lower and adjacent units, the evaluation
follows each item.
Ex. Enemy 200 NPA will raid a police station at Pasig and
has been ordered to withdraw to Pateros (G-2)
III.
Handling of Prisoners of War:
Prisoners of War (POW) are one of the most valuable sources of

information for intelligence purposes. They should be delivered as soon as
possible to higher headquarters.
5 S's of handling POW are:
1.
Search - Prisoners are thoroughly searched for weapons
and documents should be tagged.
2.
Segregate - Prisoners are segregated into groups: Officers,
Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), Privates, Deserters, civilians and
females. This prevents leaders to organize escapes and issuing orders to
subordinates.
3.
Silence - Silence is essential. Prisoners must not be allowed
to talk. This prevent planning and the development of security awareness.
4.
Speed - Speed is required in getting the prisoners to the
headquarters. Timely information secured from prisoner is essential.
5.
Safeguard - Prisoners are safeguards as they moved. They
are restricted, but not abused. They are not given cigarettes, food, or water until
authorized by assigned interrogators. A prisoner that is abused or dead
produces no intelligence.
IV.
Disposition of Capture Enemy Documents and Materials
Captured Documents - any piece of recorded enemy information

which has been in the hand of the enemy. This may include:
a.

c.
d.
e.

ultimately serves any of for principal purposes.
a.
counter tactics.
Development of effective counter weapons and
b.
Exploitation of new direct for our own benefit.
c.
Deductions as to the state of enemy resources for
war.
d.
Use by own forces of enemy material, to include the
publication of literature and other aids to assist in own training.
Types of Combat Measures:
a.
Passive Counter Intelligence Measures - those which seek
to conceal information from the enemy.
This includes:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Secrecy discipline
Security of classified documents and materials
Signal Communication Security
Movement Control
Censorship
Use of concealment
b.
