Which IGL step checks whether a new CR is higher priority than current collection mission?

• A. Determine if one of the platforms currently operating can ideally support CR
• B. Determine if asset can support the CR using good airmanship
• C. Determine if the new CR is higher priority than current collection mission
• D. Explore all other alternatives until determined whether asset can support the new CR and how

Answer: (A)

The core idea here is feasibility of reassigning current resources before making a priority call. The best step is to check whether one of the platforms already in operation can ideally support the new collection requirement. If an operating asset can accommodate the CR without overloading or creating risk, you can justify elevating or adjusting tasking without bringing in new platforms or disrupting the current mission. This feasibility check serves as the practical gate for prioritization: it shows you whether there’s a workable path within existing assets to handle the new need. The other options focus on different aspects: confirming safety and execution through good airmanship, directly declaring the new CR as higher priority than the present mission, or exhaustively exploring all alternatives. Those are relevant, but they come after establishing whether an available platform can handle the CR in the first place.
