§ Conduct intelligence collection and production. Included in this requirement is the need to provide long- term collection, analysis, and production in support of land component elements of the supported CINC. All intelligence disciplines and associated sensors are included.

§ Conduct intelligence operations in support of force protection. In support of force protection, the FP brigade leverages its resources associated with counterintelligence resident in the collection and exploitation battalion to include host nation liaison teams, strategic debriefing, and polygraph to support the JFLCC J- 2.

The objective of intelligence in direct support of the warfighter is to collect, analyze, produce, and disseminate combat information and intelligence to assist the direction and synchronization of maneuver and support forces. The intelligence functions include the capability to conduct indications and warnings (I& W), intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB), situation development, targeting, force protection, and battle damage assessment (BDA).

§ Indications and warnings (I& W). I& W involves the continuous development and refinement of threat activities and possible intentions. This allows joint operational intelligence staffs to determine changes in the political, military, economic, and diplomatic behavior of an adversary using all- source intelligence to avoid surprise.

§ Intelligence preparation of the battle space (IPB). IPB is the systematic, continuous process for developing databases for each potential operating area. Data is analyzed to determine the potential impact of the enemy, weather, and terrain on both enemy and friendly operations; and presents the results, usually in graphic form. IPB supports situation development, targeting, force protection, and BDA.

§ Situation Development. Situation development is the continuous process providing the commander an estimate of the situation and threat intentions. Products include order of battle (OB) updates; threat intentions and probable courses of action (COA); dynamic, graphic intelligence summaries with predictive assessments; decision- support, doctrinal, event, and situation templates; and weather, light, and terrain decision aids.

§ Targeting and Target Development. Targeting is the process providing timely and accurate targeting data to support effective attack by fire, maneuver, or electronic means. The targeting process is able to direct and redirect organic and supporting collection assets as well as detect, locate, identify, and report threat maneuver, fire support, combat service support, C3 elements, and high payoff/ high value targets (HPTs/ HVTs) such as nuclear and chemical weapons systems within the area of interest

§ Force Protection. Force protection includes all active and passive measures designed to provide security to the friendly force. This includes all operational security (OPSEC) support, counter- SIGINT (C- SIGINT); counter- reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance, and target acquisition (C- RISTA); deception support; and reconnaissance and surveillance measures taken to identify and counteract threats to the friendly force's physical and operational security.

§ Battle Damage Assessment (BDA). BDA is the process of assessing the physical damage done to personnel and equipment in support of order of battle analyses and predictive estimates of future threat capabilities, activities, and intentions. This includes an analysis of the threat's ability to direct, support, and sustain his force.

The Headquarters section provides administrative, supply, and logistics, maintenance, communications and C2 for HUMINT platoons. The headquarters operations section provides phase one analysis (immediate combat information) on collected data and reports significant or perishable information in a time- sensitive manner.

Headquarters company provides C2, administrative services, and logistic support for units of the battalion. It also provides operational coordination between the three MI companies and the EACIC. A critical function of the C& E battalion is to form CI/ HUMINT teams for modular, scaleable employment in support of intelligence requirements. These teams can be formed either at the battalion level integrating elements from the CI and I& E companies, or at the company level, from elements of the CI and I& E platoons of the C& E company.

(‘’ The battalion can also accept the attachment of tactical reconnaissance support detachments’’)

§ Provide near- real time exploitation, reporting, and rapid dissemination support of FPB and/ or national level collected imagery.

§ Provide CM, data base management, tasking guidance, and tasking for sensor cueing in support of FPB.

§ Provide mechanical and communications maintenance and administrative support for the battalion, attached units, and the HHD of the ASCC brigades as required.

§ Provide intelligence and analysis support to wartime reserve mode (WARM) and reprogramming operations.

§ Maintain signature data base reference files that are used to identify automated/ smart sensors, processors, and smart munitions and weapons affected by a WARM or altered signature.

The MI Company (Collection and Exploitation) consists of a company headquarters, CI operations section, interrogation operations section, and counterintelligence and I & E platoons.

"The mission of the MI Company (Collection and Exploitation) is to provide CI support within the theater of operations, conduct interrogations of EPWs and debriefings of other personnel of intelligence interest; translate and exploit selected foreign documents/ media; and exploits foreign materiel of intelligence interest."

The collection and exploitation company combines the functions of the CI and I& E companies into one company- sized element. This company provides a tailored, scaleable capabilities package of CI and interrogation support that is permanently task- organized for situations requiring CI/ HUMINT support but which do not allow or require the full involvement of a battalion- sized unit. The C& E company can form CI/ HUMINT teams from the CI and I& E platoons to conduct integrated CI/ HUMINT operations.

The MI Company (Interrogation and Exploitation) consists of a company headquarters, operations section, communications section, and interrogation and exploitation (I& E) platoon.

"The mission of the MI Company (Interrogation and Exploitation) is to conduct interrogations of enemy prisoners of war (EPWs) and debriefings of other personnel of intelligence interest and to exploit captured enemy documents (CEDs) in Army, joint, or combined interrogation centers."

The MI company (CI), shown at Figure 4- 19, consists of a company headquarters section,operations element, and CI teams element.

"The mission of the MI Company (CI) is to conduct CI operations and multidiscipline counterintelligence (MDCI) threat analysis in support of ASCC requirements."
