HOW TO DETECT / CATEGORIZE/PRIORITIZE /NOMINATE TARGETS

 

INTRODUCTION:

In order to identify CI targets, one should follow the intelligence rules. Through the combination of existing black, grey and white lists, a line and block box, intelligence reports and information provided from police agencies, the armed forces as well as other agencies, the basic information about the possible CI targets is acquired. 

GENERAL FACTS:

     A.    Review the strategy in order to estimate potential hostile threat:

           1.   Recognize the threats that present an acute danger to security.

           2. Predict future threats.

NOTE: The choice of CI target requires a total analysis of its relation to the entire hostile threat.

     B. Recognize the specific CI targets in the region:

     a. The CI targets present either a clear threat or are of use to the Armed Forces. CI targets can be: 

     a. SPECIFIC PEOPLE: these can be either friendly or hostile.

     b. FACILITIES: that pose a threat to the security of the nation.

     c.    HOSTILE GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS: that pose a threat to the security of the nation. These are most likely operating undercover, and therefore not immediately detectable.

     d.    MATERIAL AND DOCUMENTS: IF they are of value to the intelligence community.

     3.    Gather information about possible CI targets in the region:

           a.   Find local targets on national CI target lists.

           b. Gather information on existing lists (Black ,White , and Grey)

           c.   Recover information from the files of the intelligence community, the CI database, etc.

           d.   Gather information from:

           1)   Civilian Affairs and Psychological Operations 

           2) The intelligence units in the region

           3)   Police agencies

     C.    Group the established CI targets according to their specialty or function. 

For example:

     1)    Espionage agents

     2)    Couriers 

     3)    Obstruction specialists

     4)    Bases/camps

     5)    Communications and link routes

NOTE:  When grouping targets this way, one must be sure that the information on which the grouping is based comes from the same source that identified them

     D.    Prioritize the targets:

     1.    Base the priority of every Target on:

           a.   Which threat the target presents to the security of the nation.

           b.   The importance of time in the neutralization or exploitation of the target. 

           c.   Potential reinforcement of the target. 

           d.   Strength of personnel that will neutralize or exploit the targets.

     2.    Give each target a number that represents its priority:

           a.   Make sure that the number is written in roman numerals (I, IV, XI).

           b.   The number stresses how important or valuable the CI targets are.

           c.   The number emphasizes to which degree the target is of interest.

NOTE:  Should a target have a higher degree of priority assigned to it than the Command, changing its degree of priority it is not possible at your level. Local CI agents will prioritize the targets that are established in the region.

     E.    The personnel responsible for the target’s neutralization or exploitation should be designated with corresponding tasks.

1. Ascertain the competence of the personnel to neutralize or exploit tasks taking into account: 

     a. The number of units

     b. Equipment at hand

     c. Previous knowledge of the task

           2.   Ascertain if support from regular police, military police, pther units, etc. is needed. 

NOTE:  Tactical effort will always precede neutralizing and exploiting the targets – only excluding special cases. 

     F.    Give the personnel a briefing about their mission.

NEUTRALATION OF CI TARGETS

INTRODUCTION:

At the point when distinguishing the potential CI target, they are sorted by their corresponding types. It is basic to know not just the character of the target or the group, but also additionally all the conceivable historical data and elements of the target. Encounters have demonstrated to us that a subsequent meet-up with a particular target, the best strategies are traps and capture strategies.

GENERAL FACTS:

     A.    Decide which Target will be neutralized.

     B.    Investigate the CI target work sheet to have the capacity to distinguish:

     1.    The target that has been alloted to your CI group

     2.    The location of the target

     3.    The essential necessities for this coordination

     C.    Decide on a method neutralize characters:

     1.    Chose the method to neutralize characters:

           a.   Put the target’s identity on the lists (black grey and white)

NOTE:  Putting the target character in the aforementioned list does not render him to be neutralized or destroyed if the target is "undercover" or "clandestine", however it constitutes the first period of this kind of neutralization and permits the non-adversary forces to confine the target on the off chance that they discover him in the territory of operations.

     b.    Do the examination operations as well as methodology and search and review to segregate, identify and detain the target personalities.

     c.    Perform psychological operations on the characters:

           1)   Perform the operations of propaganda discrediting the target.

NOTE:  These operations must be thoroughly organized and coordinated through the Staff Officer (Civilian Affairs).

           2)   Perform operations so as to make the superior of the target distrust him.

           3)   Perform operations to make adversary superiors think that agent(s) has been uncovered or detained.

e.                Perform conceal/deceit operations. Neutralization through misleading intelligence could work WITH the utilization of false data to make the target confused.

f.                  Neutralize the target character through exile, capture or confinement.

     g.    Make use of population control and further resources:

           1)   Utilize controls to find and capture the target, such as:

                c)    Begin rationing provisions, food, and other resources, and hand out rationing cards to the citizens.

NOTE:  Targets of CI interest will have to get around these controls to avoid capture or identification. Anyone without a badge or rationing card will automatically fall under suspicion.

           2)   Utilize controls to moderate or limit the target’s maneuverability:

                a) Require official documents to pass to particular zones

                b)    Install a curfew which will restrict moblity during particular times of the day.

                c)    Implement areas of restriction to make sure that the target does not have access to particular activities.

           2.   Choose approaches to neutralize groupings. The same approaches that are implemented to neutralize the characters could be implemented for groups. Additionally, one approach could be to infiltrate an agent within the framework of a group to misinform and create false rumors.

           3.   Choose an approach to neutralize the facilities:

                a.    Carry out method, inquiry and audit operations to:

1)     Isolate and contain the persons or groups in the specific establishment or territory.

                a.    To neutralize documents, two basic methods are employed:

                      1)   Capture

                      2)   Destruction
