When targets are validated and nations bid to drop bombs on them, there must be intelligence information that each nation can view before agreeing to participate in that strike, said Maj. Gen. Karen Gibson, the director of intelligence at Central Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If U.S.-only human intelligence or Five Eyes-only signals intelligence is the basis for the decision, \u201cthe Danes or the French or the Italians are not going to drop bombs on\u201d a compound, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGEOINT was often a deciding factor in the defeat ISIS campaign for getting our coalition partners on board with conducting kinetic strikes,\u201d Gibson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is now a recognition at the highest levels of leadership that conflicts will be fought with multilateral partners, panelists said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was in a meeting a couple of months ago with Gen.

Gen. Linda Urrutia-Varhall, associate director for operations at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, said during the same panel. \u201cThat\u2019s the first time I ever heard that in the Pentagon
