Joint fires is a huge lane

Find and fix…the problems

Track…the results

Target…relevant issues

Engage…interoperability and trainingAssess…our progress

Premise: The Brigade Combat Team’s ability to request, integrate, and process Joint and organic intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data into actionable information to support decision making can be enhanced.

Question 1: Did Joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support provide the information required for the decide, detect, deliver, and assess process at the Brigade and Battalion Tactical Operations Center?

Question 2: Did the command and control nodes at the Brigade and Battalion Tactical Operations Center effectively apply Joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to the decide, detect, deliver, and assess process?
