“Find out what’s happening” sounds like an assignment, but it gives the team no way to know when the work is complete. Intelligence requirements convert a broad concern into specific questions that can be researched, observed, tested, compared, and reported.
Use this brief before an investigation, surveillance operation, research task, or mission-planning session.

The mission becomes easier to run because every lead can be judged against a known requirement.
