Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB)

● a continuous and systematic method for analyzing the enemy, weather, and

terrain,● evaluating enemy capabilities and

predicting enemy COAs,● and providing much of the information for

the intel estimate and the targeting process.

IPB Determine enemy COA’s

• Doctrinal template– Identify enemy objectives and desired end-state– Apply effects of terrain and weather

• Situation template (SITTEMP)• Most probable COA (MPCOA)• Most dangerous COA (MDCOA)• Event template
