Abstract: Abstract The data that make up economic intelligence are relatively easy to collect compared to other forms of intelligence and provide a detailed look at the inner workings of enemy operations including any future plans that they might have to take action. Economic intelligence consists of information in the volume of sales of goods, the specific types of goods that are being sold, availability and distribution of goods, changes in pricing, and so on. By collecting this information one can determine the amount and types of resources being used by the enemy and when they are being used. Not only does this allow one to determine how effective their economic strategies in combat have been, but it even allows one to deduce the actions that are being taken or are going to be taken sometime in the future, accurately predicting the intentions of the enemy and responding to those intentions through calculated anticipative reaction.
