CORPS MI BDE ORGANIZATIONS, EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONS

TITLE OF INSTRUCTIONAL EVENT:
CORPS MI BDE ORGANIZATIONS, EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONS

SLIDE 1(Title) I. Introduction.
1. A. Lesson Tie-in: This block of instruction is the basis for all instruction that you will receive during the rest of MIOBC. It is designed to provided you with a working knowledge of MI tactical (Corps and below) organizations, their equipment, and their operational concepts. This instruction provides the foundations for the upcoming All Source III ACE PE, and for BASIX at the end of the MIOBC course.
2. Objective Statement: Identify a Corps MI Bde force structure, organization, and mission.
3. Safety Statement: The risk assessment code for this lesson is low IV.

SLIDE 2
(Purpose) 4. Purpose: To provide the MIOBC officer with a basic understanding of the Corps Military Intelligence Brigade organization, functions and equipment.
5. Procedure: During this class I will review, in lecture style, the Corps MI Bde.
II. Development.
1. During this class we will discuss the Corps MI Bde. The TO&E that you will be shown has not been modified and is the basic structure for all corps MI Bde's. I'm sure that many of you have been assigned to MI Bde's whose equipment and organization are entirely different. This class is not intended to be a review of the four active duty corps MI Bde's but to provide the basic structure to the MIOBC student who has not been assigned to this organization.

SLIDE 3 (Corps MI Bde Organization Chart) The organization shown here will be discussed by battalion (Bn). The only Bn that will not be reviewed is the TE(RC) Bn. This organization has a variation of equipment and companies found throughout the active component (AC) MI Bn. At the writing of this lesson plan (LP) this organization is under review and determination to see if it will remain a part of the AC MI Bde.

SLIDE 4
(MI Bde Functions) The Corps MI Bde is the largest tactical intelligence unit. It's primary functions are:
-to augment divisional MI Bn's with tactical based systems
-to provide Corps General Support (GS) aerial collection
-to provide the Corps level ACE and DISE elements
-to provide the Corps CI/IPW capabilities and augment divisional MI Bn's
During this class you will be taught which of the subordinate Bn's are responsible and capable of these functions.

SLIDE 5
(MI Bde Battlefield Location) This slide provides a graphic representation of how the MI Bde is deployed within the Corps Area of Operations (AO). The Tactical Exploitation (TE) Bn is deployed throughout the AO. The Aerial Exploitation (AE) Bn is normally located at the Corps instrumented airfield. Finally, the Operations Bn is normally collocated with the Corps Main CP.

SLIDE 6
(HQs & OPS BN) The first Bn we will discuss is the Headquarters and Operations Bn. This Bn is the center of gravity for intelligence production within the corps. The subordinate companies are:
-HHSC
-Analysis and Control
-Collection and Processing
-CMISE attached

SLIDE 7
(HQ/OPS BN MISSION..) The mission of the HQs & OPS Bn is to provide:
-IEW analytical and planning support.
-Planning and execution of Battlefield Deception in support of the Corps. This group of soldiers works directly for the G3 Plans Officer.
-Technical Management and Control of IEW assets assigned/attached to the MI Bde.
-Technical support to the divisional MI Bn's, ACR MI Company, and Separate Bde MI Company.
-Tactical SIGINT, HUMINT, and IMINT acquisition and processing.
The personnel assigned/attached to this bn work directly for the Corps G2 and form the Corps ACE.

SLIDE 8
(HHSC/OPS) The Bn has a standard HHSC. The mission of this company is:
-the Bn HQ provides C2, mess, communications, maintenance andpersonnel support to the A&C and C&P companies. It is normally collocated or in the close vicinity of the Corps ACE.
The Bn HQ and S-staff perform the exact functions as any other Bn staff. The significant difference being that the S3 must work closely with the HQs Commandant of the Corps HQs Bn for the placement, site selection, and communications requirements of the ACE.
The communications, CE, and IEW sections of the company are responsible for the maintenance of all the IEW specific equipment in the A&C and C&P companies. The civilian contractors normally work out of the C&P company.

SLIDE 9
(A&C Company/OPS Bn) The Analysis & Control (A&C) company mission is:
-to provide IEW analytical and planning support, and planning and execution of battlefield deception events in support of the Corps and
-to provide technical management and control of IEW assets assigned and attached to the MI Bde (Corps) and technical support to the divisional MI Bns, the MI Co (ACR), and any MI Co (separate Bde) subordinate to the Corps.
As is evident by this mission statement, this company is responsible for the collection and production of intelligence in support of the Corps.

SLIDE 10
(A&C CO ORGANIZATION) The company is organized as depicted in this organizational chart:
-Company HQs is equipped with 3 x TrojanSpirit I or II systems. A primary responsibility of the Cdr will be to ensure continued and uninterrupted communications for the ACE element.
The ACE forms the majority of this company. It will not be discussed in great detail here as you will receive an entire class on this organization later during IBOS.
-The PLT HQs (ACE Chief) is a LTC, MI.
-The Technical Control and Analysis Element is responsible for all single source processing for the -Int's. The section is equipped with a set (6 each) of Single Source Workstations.

The ACE has various other communications devices, and processing equipment that will not be discussed. The reason is that each of the four Corps has equipped this company with the assets on their MTOE, local purchase or special buy. The types and amounts are so many it would take an entire class to discuss them all.

SLIDE 11
(C&P CO/OPS BN) The Collection & Processing Company mission is to:
-Provide tactical electronic intelligence (ELINT) and tactical imagery intelligence (IMINT) acquisitionand processing support of the Corps. As you will see, this company is issued all the TENCAP equipment for the OPS Bn.
