What is MI??

1-1. The commander requires intelligence about the enemy and the battlespace prior to engaging in operations in order to effectively execute battles, engagements, and other missions across the full spectrum of operations. Intelligence assists the commander in visualizing his battlespace, organizing his forces, and controlling operations to achieve the desired tactical objectives or end-state. Intelligence supports force protection by alerting the commander to emerging threats and assisting in security operations.

Intelligence - The Forms

• All Source Intelligence

• HUMINT - Human Intelligence• SIGINT - Signals Intelligence• IMINT - Imagery Intelligence• TECHINT - Technical Intelligence• MASINT – Measurements and Signals

Intelligence • CI – Counter Intelligence

The Four Intelligence Tasks

1. Support to Situational Understanding

2. Support to Strategic Responsiveness

3. Conduct Intelligence, Surveillance and

Reconnaissance

4. Provide Intelligence Support to Effects

1. Support to Situational Understanding

Enabling Learning Objective #1

• ACTION: Discuss the role of the Intelligence soldier in Support to Situational Understanding.

• CONDITION: In a classroom with the aid of References.

• STANDARD: The student will understand that all intelligence tasks stem from the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) process and what input they will have as a platoon leader.

• ACTION: Conduct IPB as a leader.

• CONDITION: In a classroom with the

aid of references.

• STANDARD: The student will correctly

define IPB and identify the steps of IPB

IAW FM 34-130, as well as understand

their role in conducting IPB as leaders.

IPB Definition

• IPB is a systematic, continuous

process of analyzing the threat and

the environment in a specific

geographic area.

Objective

• Answer the commander’s questions about:

– Terrain

– Weather

– Enemy Situation.

• IPB helps commanders selectively apply combat

power at critical points in time and space on the

battlefield by -

– Describing the environment and it’s effects.

– Determining the threat’s likely Course of Action (COA).

Who Conducts IPB?

• Conducted at all levels

– Different levels of detail are required

• S2/G2 is staff lead in IPB

• Everyone in the US Army conducts IPB

in some form

The Four Steps of IPB

1. Define the Battlefield Environment

2. Describe the Battlefield Effects

3. Evaluate the Threat

4. Identify Threat Courses of Action

Define The Battlefield Environment

• AREA OF OPERATIONS - The physical space

where your unit is authorized to conduct operations.

Given to you by your higher headquarters.

• AREA OF INTEREST - The physical area where

enemy forces or their actions may affect your unit’s

mission. Determined by the S2 and commander.

The IPB Process

Describe The Battlefield Effects

• Analyze the battlefield with regards to:– Terrain

– Weather

• Describe the battlefield’s effects on threat / friendly capabilities and broad courses of action.

• Modified Combined Obstacle Overlay (MCOO) is the ultimate product.

Describe The Battlefield Effects (Terrain Analysis)

• Military aspects of terrain (OCOKA / OAKOC)

• Lines of communications (roads, rail, waterways)

• Cross-country movement overlay

• Drainage overlay

Describe the Battlefield Effects(Military Aspects of Terrain)

• OBSERVATION - The ability of a force to see the enemy either visually or through the use of surveillance devices.– From where can the enemy see me?

– Where can I see the enemy from here?

• FIELDS OF FIRE - An area that a weapon or groups of weapons can effectively cover with fire from a given position.– From where can the enemy shoot me?

– Where can I shoot the enemy from here?

• COVER - Physical protection from the effects of both direct and indirect fires.– Examples - Ditches, caves, hills, ravines, river

banks, shell craters, buildings, fighting positions, and embankments.

• CONCEALMENT - Protection from observation.– Examples - Camouflage, weeds, underbrush, tall

grass, heavy vegetation, rocky outcrops.

• OBSTACLES - Natural or man-made terrain

features that stop, impede, or divert military

movement.

– Obstacles are the foundation of an engagement area.

– Can I stop/slow the enemy here long enough to mass

fires upon him?

– Will the enemy stop/slow me here and try to mass fires

upon me?

– Use the MCOO to graphically depict obstacles.

• KEY TERRAIN– Any natural or man-made feature which gives the

force which controls it an advantage.– Consider the following in analyzing terrain:

• Mission • Level of Command• Type of Unit.

– Does that piece of terrain aid me in the accomplishment of my mission?

– Would it aid the enemy in the accomplishment of his mission?

• AVENUES OF APPROACH

– Air or ground route of an attacking force which

leads to the objective or key terrain within its

– On the attack, ask - what route can I take to the

objective?

– In the defense, ask - what route could the

enemy take to get to me or the objective?

• Always consider both mounted and dismounted avenues of approach.

• Develop a MCOO (Modified Combined Obstacle Overlay) to identify avenues of approach.

• Consider– doctrinal distances

– formations

– speeds

– maneuver space.

• Classify terrain as it pertains to maneuverability into one of three categories:– UNRESTRICTED. Free of any restriction to movement.

Units maneuver at doctrinal speeds/distances. Nothing needs to be done to enhance mobility.

– RESTRICTED. Terrain hinders movement. Units must adjust doctrinal distances or speeds. Some effort required to enhance mobility .

– SEVERELY RESTRICTED. Terrain severely hinders movement. Units cannot travel at doctrinal distances and speeds.

• OTHER ASPECTS OF THE BATTLEFIELD

• Examples include:

– Logistical Infrastructure (Sources of potable water, power

production facilities, natural resources, communications

system, transportation system)

– Population Demographics (Education levels, cultural

distinctions, religious beliefs)

– Economic Conditions

– Politics (Local, regional and international, treaties,

‘unofficial’ politics (gangs, warlords))

Summary

•Terminal Learning Objective

ACTION: Identify the role of intelligence in

the tactical Army.

• Enabling Learning Objectives

1. ACTION: Discuss the role of the Intelligence

soldier in Support to Situational Understanding

2. ACTION: Conduct IPB in as leader.

The IPB Process

• MILITARY ASPECTS OF WEATHER

(FM 34-81-1)– Visibility– Winds– Precipitation– Cloud Cover– Temperature and Humidity

• VISIBILITY– Light data (BMNT, EENT, Sunrise, Sunset,

Moon Phases)

– Laser range finding

– Poor visibility increases light infantry survivability

• WINDS– Smoke / Chemical dispersion

– Decrease trajectory data and first hit probability

– Affects airborne, air assault, aviation operations

• PRECIPITATION– Degrades mobility– Limits visibility– Degrades weapons effectiveness– Affects troop morale

• CLOUD COVER– Heavy cloud cover limits illumination and solar heating of

targets– Degrades many target acquisition systems– Ceiling affects aviation operations

• TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY

– Extreme temperature reduces personnel

effectiveness

– Low temperature degrades ballistics of weapons

– Temperature can affect vehicle performance

– High humidity decreases stamina of foot soldier

Description Of Tactics And Options

• Operations of the major units or elements

portrayed on the template

• Activities of the different battlefield operating

systems.

• Listing or description of options available to

the threat should the operation fail

(branches), or subsequent operations if it

succeeds (sequels).

Identify High Value Targets

• HVTS are assets the enemy commander

requires to accomplish his mission.

• High Payoff Targets are the targets (HVTS)

that belong to the enemy that we must kill to

be successful.

Identify Threat Capabilities(Can the enemy dance?)

• Four tactical COAs open to military forces in

conventional operations:

Attack.

Defend.

Reinforce.

Conduct a retrograde.

• Broad COAs can be divided into a variety of more

specific COAs.

BOS Capabilities (Equipment and Capabilities)

• Examples of these types of capabilities are--– Use of NBC weapons. – Use of supporting air assets. – Intelligence collection. – Electronic Warfare. – Engineering operations. – Air assault or airborne operations. – Amphibious assaults. – Psychological operations (PSYOP). – Deception operations.

The IPB Process

Determine Threat COAs(How the Enemy will Dance)

• Identify the threat's likely

objectives and desired end

state.

• Identify full set of COAs

available to the threat SITEMPs.

• Evaluate and prioritize each

• Develop each COA in the

amount of detail time allows.

• Identify initial collection

requirements.

Identify Threat's Likely Objectives/Desired End State.

• What does the enemy seek to do to us?

• How does the enemy define success?

• How can we deny him success?

Identify Full Set of COAs Available to the Threat.

• Develop as many potential COAs as time allows.• Criteria for each COA

– suitability

– feasibility

– acceptability

– uniqueness

– consistency with doctrine.

• Situation templates are graphic depictions of expected threat dispositions should he adopt a particular COA

SAEDA, the threat to Fort Benning, and how to respond to and report any SAEDA incidents.

Definitions

• SUBVERSION - Sabotage or terrorist acts.

• ESPIONAGE - Spying (Internal and External)

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE MEASURES

• The enemy must not get information about US operations.

• This means that you and your fellow soldiers must: – Practice camouflage principles and

techniques. – Practice noise and light discipline.– Practice field sanitation.– Use proper radiotelephone procedure.

Counterintelligence Measures

– Do not take personal letters or pictures into combat areas.

– Do not keep diaries in combat areas.– Be careful when discussing military affairs (the

enemy may be listening).– Report anyone who tries to get information

about US operations.– Discuss military operations only with those

persons having a need to know the information.

– Remind fellow soldiers of their counterintelligence responsibilities

What Defines A SAEDA Incident?

• Attempts by unauthorized personnel to obtain classified information.

• Attempts by unauthorized personnel to obtain unclassified, yet FOUO information.

• Acts of espionage or treason by Army personnel.• Contact with persons known or suspected to be a

foreign agent or terrorist.• Missing classified documents.• Discovery of surveillance devices near sensitive

areas.

What If I Am Approached?• Don’t play James Bond• Don’t make any deals, agreements or think about anything.• Don’t try to apprehend or be your own SWAT team• Simply stay calm, get info, and buy time then report.

Reporting Procedures• Recall as many details as possible as SOON as possible.

Make notes of what occurred.• Contact your S2 / security manager.• Inform as few people as possible, generally only two (your

commander and the S2)• If outside US, report it to nearest military authority or US

Embassy/Consulate.

3. Conduct Intelligence, Surveillance and

Reconnaissance

• ACTION: Discuss the conduct of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) in a collection planning and management framework.

• CONDITION: In a classroom with the aid of references.

• STANDARD: Students must understand that Intelligence personnel plan and synchronize collection assets and the role of platoon leaders in the collection process.

Conduct Intelligence, Surveillance, And Reconnaissance (ISR)

With staff participation, the intelligence officer synchronizes intelligence support to the ISR effort by focusing the collection, processing, analysis, and intelligence products on the critical needs of the commander. The operations officer, in coordination with the intelligence officer, tasks and directs the available ISR assets to answer the commander’s critical information requirements (CCIRs). Through various detection methods and systematic observation, reconnaissance and surveillance obtains the required information. A continuous process, this task has four subtasks: perform intelligence synchronization, perform ISR integration, conduct tactical reconnaissance, and conduct surveillance

• The CCIR (PIR and FFIR).

• A prioritized list of the remaining

intelligence requirements.

• Evaluated ISR assets and resources.

• All of the assigned ISR tasks.

• Surveillance involves continuously observing an area to collect information. Wide-area and focused surveillance provides valuable information.

• Reconnaissance assets collect information and can validate current intelligence or predictions. Reconnaissance units, unlike other units, are designed to collect information.

Surveillance and Reconnaissance

• Orient the reconnaissance asset on the named area of interest (NAI) and/or reconnaissance objective in a timely manner

• Report all information rapidly and accurately• Complete the mission not later than (NLT) the

time specified in the order• Answer the requirement that prompted the task.

Collectors Must Ask 4 Questions of an NAI

• Why is it important to look there?

• What do we expect to see?

• When should we expect to see it?

• How long do we need to look?

Search

• Search PWs as soon as they are captured.

• Take weapons and papers, EXCEPT identification papers and protective masks.

• Give them a written receipt for any personal property and documents taken.

• Tag documents and personal property to show which PW had them.

Captured Equipment Tag

• Before evacuating a PW, attach a tag to him. You can make these tags yourself.

• The battalion S2 should be able to supply these tags.

HANDLING CAPTURED DOCUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT

• Enemy documents and equipment are good sources of information.

• Documents may be official (maps, orders, records, photos) or personal (letters or diaries).

• If such items are not handled properly, the information in them may become lost or outdated.

• Give them to your leader quickly.

• Tag each item using the form shown on the next slide.

• If the item was found on a PW, put that PW's name on the tag.

Segregate

• Segregate PWs – By Sex

• And Into Subgroups Such As – Enlisted Personnel– Civilians– Political Figures.

• This keeps the leaders from promoting escape efforts. Keep the groups segregated as you move them to the rear.

Silence

• Silence PWs

• Do not let them talk to each other.

• This keeps them from planning escape and cautioning each other on security.

• Report anything a PW says or does.

• Speed PWs to the rear.

• Turn them over to your leader.

• He will assemble them and move them to the rear for questioning by the S2.

Safeguard

• Safeguard PWs when taking them to the rear. • Do not let anyone abuse them. • Watch for escape attempts. • Do not let PWs bunch up, spread out too far, or

start diversions (Such conditions may create a chance for escape).

• If a PW is wounded and cannot be evacuated through normal channels, turn him over to medical personnel to be evacuated through medical channels.

• ACTION: Discuss The Support Of Intelligence To

Targeting, Information Operations and Combat

Assessment

• CONDITION: In a classroom with the aid of references

• STANDARD: Students must understand that

Intelligence personnel interact with all other staff

elements in support of ongoing operations and

planning for future operations.

Provide Intelligence Support To Effects

The task of providing the commander information and intelligence support for targeting of the threat’s forces, threat organizations, units and systems through lethal and non-lethal fires to include electronic attack and information operations.

This task includes three subtasks:

1. Provide Intelligence Support To Targeting2. Provide Intelligence Support To Information Operation 3. Provide Intelligence Support To Combat Assessment

• Provide Intelligence Support to Target Development - is the systematic analysis of the enemy forces and operations to determine HVTs, systems, and system components for potential attack through maneuver, fires, or information.

• Provide Intelligence Support to Target Detection - establishes procedures for dissemination of targeting information. The targeting team develops the sensor / attack system matrix to determine the sensor required to detect and locate targets. The intelligence officer places the following requirements into the integrated ISR plan

– Requires reconnaissance and surveillance operations to identify, locate, and track high-payoff targets (HPTs) for delivery of lethal or non-lethal effects.

– Includes employing fires, offensive IO, and other attack capabilities against enemy C2 systems as part of the unit’s FS plan and IO objectives.

Provide Intelligence Support to Targeting

• IO are actions taken to affect adversary information, influence other’s decision making processes and information systems while protecting one’s own information and information systems. Overall operational continuity and mission success requires close, mutual coordination and synchronization of intelligence plans and operations with IO elements and related activities.

• This task has three subordinate tasks: – Provide Intelligence Support to Offensive IO. – Provide Intelligence Support to Defensive IO. – Provide Intelligence Support to Activities Related to IO.

Information Operations

Combat Assessment

• Determines if desired effects were achieved on

targets that were engaged.

– Conduct Physical Damage Assessment

– Conduct Functional Damage Assessment

– Conduct Target System Assessment

• Re-attack Recommendation.

• Part of collection plan.

Targeting Process

• Decide

• Detect

• Deliver

• Assess

• IPB– HVTs identified– HVTs depicted in different

COAs on SITTEMPS– Specific areas identified

where enemy actions will occur

• Situation Development– Collection plan based on

EVENTTEMP– Collection assets

refocused after targets are engaged

Asymmetric Warfare

• Avoid your opponent’s strengths.

• Use whatever advantages you may

have against his weaknesses.

• The enemy will not fight you at the

tip of the spear.

Is terrorism asymmetric warfare?
