CCIR Components refer to which two information requirements?

• A. LTIOV and Indicators
• B. EEI and EEFI
• C. NAIs and TAIs
• D. PIRs and FFIRs

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that CCIRs are the information the commander must have ready to make timely, critical decisions. The two components that make up CCIRs are Priority Intelligence Requirements and Friendly Forces Information Requirements.

PIRs focus on information about the enemy or unknowns that the commander must know to anticipate actions, assess threats, and decide on courses of action. FFIRs, on the other hand, pertain to information about friendly forces, their status, disposition, and readiness—data that could influence how the operation proceeds or safety on the battlefield.

In practice, these two types drive what the intelligence team concentrates on collecting, processing, and reporting during the operation. They are the top-priority information needs that shape the commander’s situational awareness and decision cycles.

The other terms listed aren’t CCIR components. They refer to different planning or information-security concepts (like essential elements of information or areas of interest) but not the two CCIR categories.
