A new U.S. Army Field Manual introduces the concept of "police
intelligence operations," an emerging hybrid of military
intelligence and law enforcement.
"Police intelligence operations are a military police function that
supports, enhances, and contributes to a commander's situational
understanding and battlefield visualization and FP [force
protection] programs by portraying the relevant criminal threat and
friendly information, which may affect his operational and tactical
environment."
The new manual presents doctrine that is broadly applicable to
support military operations abroad as well as domestic military
facility protection.
A copy of the new manual was obtained by Secrecy News.
