What does the National Intelligence Support Plan coordinate?

The National Intelligence Support Plan (NISP) is designed to ensure that intelligence resources are utilized effectively to meet the needs of Combatant Commands. This plan coordinates the various defense agencies and military services, aligning their efforts to support operations and strategic objectives set by these commands.

By integrating capacities and resources from different entities, the NISP enhances the overall effectiveness of intelligence efforts in supporting military operations. It helps to identify specific intelligence needs, ensuring that combatants have the most relevant and timely information available to make crucial decisions in real-time situations.

The other options refer to areas that do not fall under the purview of the NISP. International civilian intelligence capabilities do not strictly pertain to military operations, local law enforcement operations focus on domestic concerns rather than national defense, and health and safety regulations while vital, are not part of intelligence coordination under the NISP framework. Thus, the coordination of defense agencies and services to fulfill Combatant Command needs captures the primary focus of the NISP effectively.
