This thesis suggests that commanders must accept the responsibility for intelligence as
a personal, inherent function of command. Commanders most dissatisfied with intelligence
least understand its function, capabilities, and limitations. They lack a thorough
understanding of intelligence, thus they fail to directly participate in the process, and their
involvement is critical to success. Intelligence doctrine—the foundation of instruction in
professional schools—fails to increase understanding and forcefully encourage the
commander's participation. This thesis further suggests that doctrine reinforces past and
present practices relating to intelligence, causing many commanders to fail to see
intelligence as a personal, inherent, function of command.
