General

Document Exploitation Center uses exploitation of captured enemy documents to obtain intelligence. Document exploitation can obtain information on a great range of topics, such as information on adversary intentions and planning (including deception), locations, dispositions, tactics, communications, logistics, and morale as well as a wealth of   information for long-term exploitation. Coupled with other intelligence sources, document exploitation provides the CEAC (through the J2) with a more complete picture of an unfolding operation and enemy capabilities. The CEAC should notify the NMJIC (through command channels) that it requires Document Exploitation Center support.

Manning

The Document Exploitation Center is activated during periods of hostilities, deployed to the combatant command, and normally assigned to, and under the OPCON of, the EAC J2 to manage the recovery, exploitation, automated processing, and disposal of captured adversary documents.
