The priorities for intelligence support to users may vary with the international situation and the mission, echelon, structure, and capabilities of both users and supporting intelligence systems. The general priorities of US Air Force Intelligence are to: (1) Provide intelligence that could cause the National Command Authorities (NCA) to signifi- cantly alter national security policy or take urgent international action to defend US national interests. (2) Prepare for supporting wartime requirements and provide combat intelligence to operational com- mands during conflict. (3) Provide intelligence for research, develop- ment, testing, evaluation, and acquisition of US aerospace forces. (4) Provide other intelligence support as re- quired. b. Substantive. Priorities for substantive intelli- gence, to guide the development and operation of in- telligence acquisition, production, application and sustaining capabilities, are in‘references Ib, Ic. le. If, and Ih. These requirements must be supplemented by user needs for peacetime and combat intelligence unique to specific commands and agencies. c. Areas of Influence and Interest.
