Purpose, in the publication’s words
This manual establishes the responsibilities of Department of the Air Force (DAF) organizations. It is an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) technical and career field-specific publication that defines organizational responsibilities for intelligence analysis, targeting intelligence, and data standards in support of global integrated ISR and other service core functions, while ensuring consistency with Intelligence Community, Department of Defense (DoD), and DAF doctrine, policy, and guidance.
Summary of changes, as printed
This interim change (IC) outlines the guidance regarding the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Section 6312, which mandates all Intelligence Analysts be trained annually on the standards set forth in the Intelligence Community Directive 203 (ICD 203), Analytic Standards. Analysis is the foundational core competency of ISR Airmen and Guardians, underpinning all other DAF ISR core competencies directly driving decision making across the spectrum of conflict. Incorporating ICD 203 in DAFMAN14-401 codifies DAF compliance with the referenced NDAA directive. 1. Overview.
