Tactical MI Equipment

At this time we will discuss the various types of equipment found at Corps, the Heavy, Light, Airborne and Air Assault Divisions, and the Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Slide 1 (Tactical IEW Cover)

Show Slide 2 (AN/TRQ-30)

(1) AN/TRQ-30

The first piece of equipment we will discuss is the AN/TRQ-30 Receiving Set. It is a man-packed communications interceptor. As you can see on the handout, it cannot intercept communications in the UHF range. The AN/TRQ-30 is used as a back-up for the AN/TRQ-32 when terrain restricts deployment of its prime mover. It is also used when there is a significant surge in enemy communications and when the AN/TRQ-32 is non-mission capable.

(2) AN/PRD-10 (MRDFS)

The AN/PRD-10 Man-Transportable Radio Direction Finding System (MRDFS) is a man-transportable intercept and DF system. As you can see on your handout, it found only in the Airborne Division. It is used against communications systems within the 20-500 MHz frequency range. The DF frequency range is 20-80 MHz. When communicating with other AN/PRD-10 systems, it can :

(a) Control up to 3 external systems.

(b) Provide automatic outstation tip-off.

(c) Provide automatic remote bearing

(d) Control reporting.

(e) Provide automatically calculated

Show Slide 4 & 5
(AN/TRQ-32)

(3) AN/TRQ-32 (TEAMMATE)

The next piece of equipment we will disuss is the AN/TRQ-32 Receiving Set. It is a corps, division, and ACR level radio receiving set. It is used to receive, record, and determine the direction of transmitted signals. Communications intercept is provided in the HF/VHF/UHF range. DF LOB support is provided in the VHF range only. Up to four sets can be netted by way of FM data links for automated DF operations. The receiver subsystem provides the capability for two operators to independently intercept and analyze signals. It also allows programmed, directed, or general search to be performed. The prime mover for TEAMMATE is the M1028 CUCV or HMMWV. This collection asset deploys 3-5 km from the FLOT.

(4) AN/TSQ-138 (TRAILBLAZER)

The AN/TSQ-138 TRAILBLAZER Special Purpose Detecting Set consists of 5 separate systems. Its function is HF/VHF/UHF communications intercept and VHF DF. Its prime mover is the M1015 tracked vehicle. This system is found only in the Heavy Division MI Battalion within the SIGINT Processing Platoon of the Electronic Warfare Company. Your handout depicts its deployment configuration.

(5) AN/TLQ-17A(V3) TRAFFICJAM

The AN/TLQ-17A is a corps, division, and ACR level transportable electronic countermeasures set. This tactical, mobile jamming set is use4d against communications signals transmitting in the HF/VHF range. It can be used for surveillance (ESM) or jamming (ECM) against ground and airborne communications. The system is mounted on the M1028 CUCV or M1037 HMMWV. It deploys 2-3 km from the FLOT. It can jam up to 550 watts on one frequency and, therefore, is classified as a low-power jammer.

(7) AN/ULQ-19(V)2 (RACJAM)

The AN/ULQ-19 is a division level VHF responsive jammer system. It is used to jam or harass enemy communications. It provides fully automatic, highly mobile VHF-range enemy target jamming. The system can jam, within one second, any of 16 preselected target frequencies which the operator has entered. Tasking and reporting mission results is accomplished via an AN/VRC-47 FM radio. The system jams with 250 watts of power. Notice on your handout that this system is currently found only in the Airborne Division.

(8) AN/ALQ-151(V)1 and (V)2 (QUICKFIX)

QUICKFIX is found only in the ACR and in all divisions. There are currently two versions in the Army inventory. QUICKFIX is a special purpose countermeasures system. It is carried on a modified EH-60A Blackhawk helicopter. The EW mission equipment includes ESM and ECM equipment. The ESM equipment is used to detect a target signal of interest and locate (DF) its transmitting antenna. The ECM equipment is used to jam target signals. The AN/ALQ-151(V)2 equipment can operate separately, with each other, or interface with Trailblazer for enhanced DF accuracy. Version 1 requires one operator while version 2 requires 2.

(9) AN/APS-94F (MOHAWK)

The MOHAWK Radar Surveillance Set is a corps asset that produces permanent radar maps (radar imager filmstrips) of terrain. These near real-time maps are interpreted in-flight to detect moving targets and maintain surveillance on military ground activity. MOHAWK uses the AN/APS-94F Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) mounted under and to the right of the OV-1D MOHAWK fuselage.

(10) AN/USD-9 (IMPROVED GUARDRAIL)

The AN/USD-9 GUARDRAIL is a combined airborne/ground-based remotely controlled intelligence collection system. It is designed to intercept and DF communications emitters in a tactical environment. The information is processed and reported in near real-time to tactical commanders at corps level and below. It is capable of intercepting communications in the HF/VHF/UHF range and can conduct DF operations in the VHF range ONLY. There are 6 systems at Corps.

(11) AN/ALQ-133 (QUICKLOOK)

The AN/ALQ-133 QUICKLOOK is an airborne noncommunications intercept, identification, and location (DF) system. While its collection system is mounted in the RV-1D aircraft, the processor is ground-based where operators adjust taskings. UHF data links from the ground to the aircraft crew provide secure communications. As with MOHAWK and GUARDRAIL, QUICKLOOK is a corps asset. Its range is restricted only by line of sight.

(12) AN/GSQ-187 REMBASS

The AN/GSQ-187 Remotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System (REMBASS) is a ground sensor system. It detects, classifies, and determines diretion of movement of intruding personnel and vehicles. REMBASS uses monitored sensors emplaced along likely enemy avenues of approach. These sensors respond to seismic and acoustic disturbances, infrared energy, and magnetic field changes to detect enemy activities. The seismic/acoustic sensor classifies intruders as personnel or vehicles. This information is incorporated into short digital messages and transmitted by an FM radio burst transmitter. Messages at the receiver are recorded to provide a time-phased record of enemy activity. REMBASS is organic to the Light, Airborne, and Air Assault Divisions ONLY.

(13) AN/PPS-5B Radar Set

The AN/PPS-5B is a portable, battery powered radar set. It is used to locate, identify, and track moving ground targets at ranges up 10,000 meters (10 km). For personnel, the AN/PPS-5B can detect personnel out to 6 km and vehicles out to 10 km. The system is not man-transportable. Notice that it is not found at the corp or light or airborne divisions.

(14) AN/PPS-15(V)1 Radar Set

The AN/PPS-15 is a short-range ground surveillance radar set. It is a battery-powered, solid-state system that is used to detect and locate moving personnel and vehicles. As you can see on your handout, the AN/PPS-15 has a shorter range than the AN/PPS-5B. Also, it is found only in the light, airborne, and air assault divisions. It is a man-packed system.

Show Slide 20-22 (GBCS-Heavy)
(16) Ground Based Common Sensor (H)

Show Slide 23 (GBCS-Light) GBCS is the next generation division- level SIGINT sensor. The common sensor design uses the open systems architecture to integrate COMIN and ELINT intercept and precision location modules on the same platform. The Electronic Attack (EA) mudule includes smart jamming capabilities. GBCS will be fielded in tracked (M-1097, EFVS) and wheeled (M-1001, heavy version HMMWV) for heavy and light forces respectively. Mission components are the same as those used in the Advanced QUICKFIX. The GBCS will be organic to MI units at division and ACR. The system will provide situation and target development information and target location to shooters. The GBCS preprocess raw signal data at the sensor and provides target detection, identification, and location reports in near-real-time to selected users. System collection and precision location results provide input for tasking and mission direction for other divisional IEW assets. The GBCS/L and the Advanced QUICKFIX together comprise the Electronic Warfare Common Sensor System (IEWCS).

Show Slide 25-28 (Pioneer)

(17)Pioneer UAV

The UAV sysem will be organic to the Aerial Explotation Battalions at the Corps MI BDE, EAC MI BDEs, MI Battalions in each heavy division, and the ACR. The vehicle will operate through out the battlefield area, forward of the FLOT, day or night in limited adverse weather conditions to provide commanders with near-real- time intellgence, target acquisition, battle damage assesment, reconaissance, and battlefield survaillance. Its radius is between 50-200+ km (depending on level of assignment) from the controlling ground station, with a flight endurance of 8+ hours. Baseline fielding configuration consisting of: eight air vehicles, eight dual EO/FLIR payloads, four data relay payloads, two ground control stations, two ground data terminals, a mission planning station, four remote video terminlas, a launch and recovery section and a mobile maintenance facility. Additional payloads being considered for development including, MTI, meteorological sensors, SAR, minefield detectors, communications relay, communication and noncommunication intercept, DF and jammers.

c. TACTICAL MI ORGANIZATIONS

Now that we've covered the various types of equipment found in Military Intelligence units Corps and below, let's take a close look at the organizations themselves. As we look at the various units, follow along using your organizational charts, SIS TBABBI(A) and your equipment handout, SIS TBABBI(B).

The Corps Headquarters is the largest tactical headquarters in the army. It may control up to 5 divisions of various types; Heavy, Light, Airborne, or Air Assault. It will also control an Armored Cavalry Regiment and may control a Separate Brigade (if formed). Each one of these units has organic MI assets. We will begin our discussion of these units with the Heavy Division.

(1) MI RESOURCES--HEAVY DIVISION

MI resources in the Heavy Division are organized into three different divisional organizations:

• DTOCSE
• MI Battalion
• QUICKFIX Flight Platoon

(a) The DTOCSE is organic to the HHC of the division with the mission of supporting the G2 and G3 in planning and managing the divisional IEW operations.

The Collection Management and Dissemination section is under the operational control of the G2 and performs mission management for intelligence collection and disseminates intelligence products and serves as the focal point for communications and tasking messages in and out of the DTOCSE. The CM&D prepares the overall collection plan for the division.

The All Source Production Section (ASPS) is under the operational control of he G2. It performs Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB). The ASPS also conducts analysis of all information collected to produce all source intelligence.

The Electronic Warfare Section (EWS) is under the operational control of the G3. It conducts EW (ECM) mission management functions by preplanning EW missions to support division operations, coordinating with the FSE to integrate EW with fires, and selecting and using appropriate EW control measures.

The OPSEC Management and Analysis Section (OPSEC M&A) is under the operational control of the G3 with the missions of both Counterintelligence support and OPSEC planning.

The entire DTOCSE normally collocates

STUDENT CHECK: Which DTOCSE section is responsible for the Collection Plan?

Show Slide 11 (MI Bn L&B)

(b) The MI Battalion of a Heavy Division provides Intelligence, Electronic Warfare (IEW) and OPSEC support to Division operations. It is organized with an HHSC, a Collection & Jamming Company, an Intelligence and Surveillance Company, an Electronic Warfare Company, and a Long Range Surveillance Detachment. The MI Bn also has operational control of the QUICKFIX Flight Platoon.

NOTE: Refer students

to SIS TBABBI(A) (3) The Collection and Jamming (Alpha) Company is organized with three Collection and Jamming Platoons and a Radio Retrans/RATT section. The radio section provides a RATT team to each C&J platoon for communications back to the TCAE. It also sets up FM radio retrans stations if the C&J Plt and the TCAE are out of FM communications range. Each C&J Platoon has one Voice Collection Team and one HF/VHF ECM Team. After we've examined all the companies within the MI Battalion, we will disuss the MI Company Team concept.

NOTE: Inform the students
that these are the map sym-

coming PEs, and in the field

(a) The Voice Collection Team performs HF/VHF/UHF voice intercept with the TRQ-30 and TRQ-32. This Team is a 6 man team that can perform limited 24 hour operations.

(b) The next Team is the HF/VHF ECM team which will perform ESM missions as well as

Jamming missions using the AN/TLQ 17A

Show Slide 15 (C&J Plt

Deployed) (c) This is an example of how a C&J Plt might be deployed.

Show Slide 16 (I&S Co)

(4) The Intelligence and Surveillance Company provides the divisional HUMINT and ground surveillance assets to support the division operations. It is organized with an Operations Support section and a Ground Surveillance Platoon.

The Ground Surveillance Platoon is organized with 3 GSR Squads that each have 4 AN/PPS-5B radars. 1 Squad is normally attached to each maneuver brigade. In our example, 2 squads have been attached to the southern Bde because of the expected main enemy attack. GSR squads will deploy on the FLOT and provide moving target indicators (MTI) locations to the brigade S2.

Deployed) The Operations Support Section has two 5 person Interrogation Teams, since both of these teams have a total of one FM radio between them and the fact that it takes a minimum of 10 interrogators to operate a divisional EPW cage, these two teams will actually form a section that deploys and stays with the divisional EPW cage. Their mission is to interrogate Enemy prisoners, interview refugees and line crossers to provide HUMINT information to the CM&D. They are tasked with their collection priorities by the MI Bn S3. This section also contains two 4 person counterintelligence (CI) teams that will do CI operations throughout the divisional AO. Obviously, these teams will coordinate with local national police and intelligence agencies to aid them in there mission. Both the INTG and CI teams will provide information to the DTOCSE to aid in the divisional OPSEC

and Deception Planning. In order to provide

Show Slide 23 (EW Co)

(5) The Electronic Warfare Company is our Charlie Company. The EW Co assets have the mission of providing the MI Bn with ground based DF results on enemy communications. It is organized with a communications section that provides the SIGINT Processing Platoon with a RATT team to terminate the SIGINT tasking and reporting net from the TCAE.

(a) The SIGINT Processing Plt assets include the TRAILBLAZER system (AN/TSQ-138) which will set up a Lazy W DF baseline across the entire division frontage in order to intercept and DF enemy VHF communications emitters. The TRAILBLAZER system will deploy 5 to 10 KMs from the FLOT. After all of the subcomponents are emplaced and have FM radio communications, the UHF datalink in red is used to pass technical data between subelements in order to accomplish DF missions. The Platoon will normally operate in GS to the Division.

(b) The SIGINT Proc Plt sets up a POC by combining the Plt HQ Team and the Analysis section. This POC will receive taskings from and report to the MI Bn TCAE. The POC will normally collocate with the Master Control Station of its organic TRAILBLAZER system. Any of the 5 AN/TSQ-138's can function as the Master Control Station. The MCS will locate along the enemy Major Avenue of Approach.

Deployed) (6) The MI Company Team

(a) The Companies of the Heavy Division's MI Battalion will not deploy as companies. They will be task organized by the battalion commander into MI Company Teams. There is no standard tactical mix of assets within the separate company teams. They are organized based on METT-T in order to provide the best possible mix of IEW assets in order to support the mission. The headquarters elements for these company teams are taken from the Headquarters elements of the garrison companies. The remainder of the company team assets will be drawn for the other garrison

Show Slide 27 C&J Co/ companies. For example, the A Company Team

Co Tm Deployed) will be comprised of the C&J Co Cdr, two of his C&J Platoons and other assets, the B Company Team will be comprised of the I&S Co Cdr and the 3rd C&J Platoon. The C Company Team will only have the EW Co Cdr and no assets, since we do not doctrinally leave MI assets (equipment) in reserve.

(b) Looking at the B Co Tm location, we see the optimum deployment. The Co Tm Commander comes from the I&S Co, the Plt HQ and the T&A team form the controlling element for the deployed assets and the voice collection team will deploy with the POC if possible. The C&J Platoon Operations Center receives taskings from the TCAE, decides which asset (team) will be tasked, and then tasks that particular team. The Teams of the C&J Platoon include a Voice Collection Team and a HF/VHF ECM (Jamming) Team.

(c) These company teams will locate within the brigades AO so the Team commnder and the liaison officer work hand in hand with the maneuver brigade S3 to coordinate logistics, food service, locations, and other functions of the company team. The HHSC commander will normally form the controlling Headquarters of the MI Bn trains working closely with the Bn S1 and S4 sections. The MI Bn TOC will locate as far forward as necessary to communicate and control the deployed MI assets.

(7) HHSC

As you can see, the MI Bn is spread over the entire Division AO and is quite difficult to command and control. Let's look at how the MI Bn manages such a vast amount of equipment spread so far apart. The Headquarters & Headquarters Service Company contains all maintenance and mess support as well as the battalion staff.

(a) The MI Bn S3 has three Intelligence &

Show Slide 29 (IEWSE) Electronic Warfare Support Elements (IEWSE) to perform a very valuable function for the battalion. They will maintain a habitual

Deploy IEWSE Symbol relationship with the brigades to perform three functions; first of all, they are to act as a liaison team in order for the brigade commander to fully understand the MI assets operating in his AO. Secondly the IEWSE will coordinate with the brigade S3 for locations of MI assets in the brigade AO, and finally the IEWSE can provide combat information to the brigade S2 by monitoring the communications between the C&J POC and the TCAE.

Deploy BAT-D symbol (b) The Battlefield Deception Element Plans and Operations Section is normally OPCON to the Division G3 and collocates with the DTOC. The Signature TEams are task organized to carry out the Division deception plan.

(c) The MI Bn TOC is made up of the S3 as the commanders representative, the S2 and the Technical Control and Analysis Element. The S3 operates as the Asset Manager for the MI Bn. When he receives taskings from the CM&D he will decide which asset (SIGINT or HUMINT) will be tasked. If he decides that it is a HUMINT mission he will coordinate with the S2 to determine the availability of the CI or INTG teams and then task one of those teams directly. If it is a SIGINT mission the TCAE will be tasked to accomplish the task. The TCAE can best be described as the Electronic FDC. It will receive taskings (Call for Fires), decide which POC can best accomplish the tasking (Select a firing Battery) and add the necessary Call Signs and frequencies technical data (firing data) and then task the chosen POC (tell the battery).

• The MI Bn TOC configuration is set up to provide timely exchange of data between the S3 and the TCAE and S2. The TCAE has four sections to analysis and report taskings and reports. The Operations Sections maintains communications with the five deployed MI platoons by FM and RATT, the Corps TCAE by RATT and the CM&D by RATT. The Traffic Analysis section is responsible for mission and report analysis of all COMINT items. The ELINT Analysis section performs analysis on missions and reports concerning radar intercept and the Cryptanalysis section tries to decipher the enemy's low level enciphered communications.

(d) When the Bn TOC has to relocate, the MI Bn Jump TOC will be established. The Jump TOC can perform all the missions of the TOC for a limited time, elements from the S3, S2 and TCAE will always be in operation.

(e) The Communications Platoon will provide four RATT teams to the TCAE to originate the TCAE to POC SIGINT tasking and Reporting net. Additionally the Commo Plt will perform DS maintenance on IEW and communications equipment of the battalion. This platoon may be task organized within the MI company teams previously discussed. The Maintenance Platoon performs vehicular maintenance on battalion vehicles. This platoon is normally maintained as a platoon in the MI Bn trains area.

STUDENT CHECK: Which element in the MI Bn TOC is responsible for providing Technical Data (i.e. call signs and frequencies).

(8) The Long Range Surveillance Detachment has the mission to provide long range (cross FLOT) HUMINT collection against point targets. This detachment is only to be used for passive collection, not for combat operations. It is organized with a communications section and six surveillance teams. The communications section has two HF radio base stations for receiving HF burst transmissions from the deployed surveillance teams and reporting that information to the CM&D.

Show Slide 35 (LRSD Due to the nature of HF radio wave

Deployed) propagation, one of these base stations may have to be deployed behind the divisional rear boundary. The Surveillance Teams have 6 men assigned to each one, five of these men are infantry and one is a communications expert. These teams may deploy 50 KM cross FLOT for a period of 6 days without resupply, this distance is just a guideline for commanders. If the unit can support longer deployments the commander may send them out to whatever depth supportable. They may be deployed by Land (stay behind, walking in), sea (river ops), or air (paradrop, air assault). Long range planning by CM&D is therefore very crucial. Not only does CM&D have to worry about collectors on our side of the FLOT but they now have to plan for collection against a point target up to 50 KM cross FLOT up to 6 days from deployment. The teams are only to be given one collection mission per deployment, moving these teams and changing their tasking will only expose them to a greater chance of discovery.

FLT PLT Symbol & Msn) (9) The QUICKFIX Flight Platoon is the third MI organization organic to the Heavy Division. It is organic to the Aviation brigade of the division and under the operational control (OPCON) of the MI Bn, in particular, the TCAE will technically control and task this platoon. The mission of the platoon is to provide HF/VHF intercept and VHF jamming and Direction Finding results in General Support to the Division.

MI Resources, LT DIV) (2) MI Resources--Light Division

We will now cover the MI resources and operations of the Light Division. The Light Division will normally support operations in a Low Intensity Conflict. The division may well be spread over a large area of operations, with the individual maneuver brigades separated by terrain and enemy forces. In addition, the Division Support area may be separated from the brigades.

(a) Like the Heavy Division, the Light Division's DTOCSE is organic to the division HHC and will functionally integrate with the division G2 and G3 staff sections at the DTOC.Although smaller than its Heavy Division counterpart the Light DTOC Support Platoon will perform the same functions.

Show Slide 44 (MI Bn L&B)

(b) The MI Battalion (LIGHT) is organized with a Collection Company, an Intelligence & Surveillance Company, an HHSC, and a long range surveillance detachment. It operationally controls the QUICKFIX Flight Platoon. What is immediately obvious is that there are no ground based jamming assets in the battalion, also there is no EW company, which indicates that there is no ground based DF or jamming assets.

The battalion is organized to support a light division in a Low Intensity Conflict. A LIC will be characterized by a greater HUMINT threat in terrain that may not be suitable to a heavy armored force.

(c) The MI Bn TOC will normally collocate with the division TOC for ease of command and control of deployed MI assets. It is comprised of the S3 (as the commanders rep), the S2 section and the Technical Control and Analysis Element that technically controls and tasks the Voice Collection Platoons and the QUICKFIX Flight Platoon.

(d) The other elements of the HHSC will form the MI Bn trains and the Battlefield Deception HQ in the DSA.

Additionally, the S3 section will provide an IEWSE to each of the maneuver brigades for liaison, coordination, and combat information purposes.

STUDENT CHECK: Which communications link does the IEWSE monitor to provide Combat Information to the Bde?

Student response should be
the C&J POC-to-TCAE link.

Show Slide 50 (MI Bn
Deploy)

(e) The MI Battalion will normally form two company teams for the command and control of the battalion assets. For jamming and DF operations the CEWI flight platoon will be operationally controlled by the MI Bn TCAE.

(f) The Collection Company of the MI Bn will form the foundations for the two company teams deployed. The Collection Co is organized with a Radio Retrans/Radio TTY Section and three Voice Collection Platoons. The Radio section will provide each platoon with a RATT team to terminate the TTY SIGINT tasking and reporting net from the TCAE. The Voice Collection Platoons provide HF/VHF voice intercept and LOB results to the TCAE. The T&A team will combine with the Plt HQ to form the POC. The Low Level Voice Intercept (LLVI) teams will deploy within the brigades areas for purposes of intercepting LOW LEVEL voice communications from the enemy. Notice that THERE ARE NO GROUND-BASED JAMMERS IN THE LIGHT DIVISION.

(g) The Intelligence and Surveillance Company of the Light MI Bn is actually larger than its Heavy counterpart. It is organizedwith three platoons: an Interrogator, a Counterintelligence and a Ground Surveillance Platoon. This enlargement is in direct response to the greater HUMINT threat we are expecting to face in LIC. The document exploitation section of the INTG platoon will provide analysis on enemy captured documents and equipment. Normally the INTG platoon will operate at the division EPW cage.

(h) The CI and GSR Platoon will normally be subdivided and attached to the maneuver brigades, each GSR squad has three radars. These radars are the AN/PPS-15 manpacked radar.

Show Slide 56 & 57 (LRSD

& LRSD Deployed) (i) The Long Range Surveillance Detachment is organic to the MI Bn and tasked by the G2/CM&D. It is smaller than its Hvy counterpart in that there are only 4 Surveillance Teams. These teams will operate very similarly to the Hvy MI Bn teams in that they can operate for a six day period without resupply. They will operate at distances based on METT-T. Again, these teams have a mission of passive observation only.

(j) The QUICKFIX Flight Platoon is under the OPCON of the MI Bn. The TCAE will technically control and task the QUICKFIX POC. The QF Flight Platoon POC will be organized with the Plt HQ section, the Commo Section, and the Indications Friend or Foe (IFF) team. The POC maintains command and control over 3 EH-60 or EH-1X QUICKFIX helicopters for aerial communications intercept, DF or jamming.

How many TRQ-30s are organic to the Light Div?

Show Slide 60 (AASLT DIV

MI Resources) (3) MI RESOURCES--AIR ASSAULT DIVISION

We will now cover the MI resources organic to the Air Assault Division.

(a) The Air Assault Division is organized with a DTOC Support Platoon which performs the same functions as the DTOCSE of the Heavy and Light Divisions.

(b) The MI Battalion of the Air Assault Division is organized differently than both the heavy and light divisions. Let's look at the major differences.

(c) The Headquarters and Headquarters Operations Company, unlike the HVY and LT DIV HHSC contains no maintenance & mess assets. It does, however, contain the TCAE and Battlefield Deception Cell. Notice that, unlike the HVY and LT DIVs, the QUICKFIX FLT PLT is ORGANIC to the MI Bn of the AASLT DIV.

(d) The C&J Company contains the majority of SIGINT assets for the Air Assault Division. The C&J Company is organized with 3 C&J Platoons like the HVY DIV C&J Co but instead of VHF ECM Teams, it has Low Level Voice Intercept Teams (LLVI). Also, the MI Bn of the AASLT DIV MI Bn has a total of 12 AN/TRQ-30s while the HVY DIV has 3. Thus, the AASLT DIV has a greater collection capability but fewer jamming assets.

(e) The Intelligence & Surveillance Company of the Air Assault Division has the same number of REMBASS as the Light Division but fewer CI and INTG Teams. Also, the AASLT DIV MI Bn has both the AN/PPS-5B and AN/PPS-15 Ground Surveillance Radars while the HVY and LT Divisions have only the AN/PPS-5 and AN/PPS-15, respectively.

(f) The Service Support Company of the MI Bn in the AASLT DIV contains all maintenance assets from communications to electronics to mechanical. This is also where the MI Bn's communications assets are located.

(g) The Long Range Surveillance Detachment of the Air Assault Division's MI Bn is organized with 6 Surveillance Teams like the Heavy Division; 2 more than that of the LT Division.

MI Resources) (4) MI RESOURCES--AIRBORNE DIVISION

Let's look now at the organization of the MI resources in the Airborne Division.

(a) The DTOCSE in the Airborne Division is larger than those of the LT and AASLT Divisions and only slightly smaller than that of the HVY DIV. Notice that here we have a CI ANAL/OPSEC Section where the HVY DIV has an OPSEC M&A Section. Though differently titled, they perform the same mission.

(b) The MI Bn in the Airborne Division is a totally different organization than we have seen thus far. It is organized with an HHSC, three Forward Support Companies, one General Support Company, and the Long Range Surveillance Detachment.

(c) The HHSC contains the staff, maintenance assets, and the Food Service Section. Notice that it DOES NOT contain the TCAE.

(d) The Three Forward Support MI Companies are organized with a Company HQ, a Collection and Jamming Platoon, and an Intelligence and Surveillance Platoon. Each C&J Platoon has one HF/VHF ECM Team utilizing RACJAM. Also in each C&J Platoon is one Transcription & Analysis Team and three Low-Level Voice Intercept Teams. Each LLVI Team has one AN/PRD-10 Receiving for a total of 3 in each Platoon and 9 in the Battalion. Each Company will maintain a habitual relationship with one of the Division's maneuver brigades and will normally be attached to those brigades. Please note that, like in the other divisions, these companies can be tailored based on METT-T.

Show Slide 74 (GS CO)

(e) The General Support Company is organized with a Company HQ, the TCAE, the Battlefield Deception Element, and one Collection and Jamming Platoon. The TCAE and Battlefield Deception Element perform the same functions we have seen in the other Divisional MI Battalions. The C&J Platoon contains three Voice Collection Teams, three HF/VHF ECM Teams, one Transcription and Analysis Team, and two REMBASS Teams. The Voice Collection Teams each contain one AN/TRQ-32 and one AN/TRQ-30. Each HF/VHF Team contains one AN/TLQ-17A. This Company has those assets which will be devoted to the force (Division) as a whole rather than being attached to a maneuver brigade.

(f) The Long Range Surveillance Detachment in the Airborne Division is slightly larger than that of the Light Division but still only has 4 Surveillance Teams.

Check) What are the important differences between the QF FLT PLT's of the ABN and AASLT Divisions?

Show Slide 77 (Questions)

(g) This concludes the discussion of the Heavy, Light, Airborne, and Air Assault divisions. Each Division's MI Bn, with the exception of the Airborne Division, task organizes based on METT-T to form MI Company Teams. The Airborne Division is, essentially, organized with permanent Company Teams. What are your questions before we continue?

Show Slide 1 (MI (6) MI RESOURCES--ARMORED CAVALRY REGT

MI Resources in the ACR are organized into three different regimental organizations: **RTOCSE

• MI CO
• QUICKFIX FLIGHT PLATOON

(a) The Regimental Tactical Operations Center Support Element is organic to the HHT with the mission of supporting the S2 in planning and managing the regimental intelligence collection effort.

(b) The Collection Management and Dissemination Section (CM&D) is responsible for Mission Tasking which involves taking the PIR and IR and developing indicators based on them and then developing taskings or specific orders or requests (SOR) based on those indicators. Like the CM&D in a Division it is responsible for the overall collection plan for the ACR. The CM&D is also the RTOCSE communications focal point.

(c) The Intelligence Production Section is the regimental all source analysis center which will aid in determining PIR and IR, perform analysis on information gained by regimental collectors, help identify GAPS in the collection effort, produce intelligence products such as INTSUMs for regimental use and brief the commander and staff on the current enemy situation, weather, and terrain. It performs the same functions as the ASPS in a Division.

(d) The RTOCSE deploys with the Regimental Main CP or TOC. One of the main assets of CM&D for intelligence collection is the MI Company.

(e) The MI Company has the mission to provide integrated intelligence, electronic warfare, and OPSEC support to the ACR. If this sounds familiar, it's because the MI Company in the ACR provides the same support as the MI Battalion in a Division.

The MI Co has approximately 160 soldiers assigned to it and is commanded by a MAJ (35G). It is organized with six platoons and a Technical Control and Analysis Element (TCAE). The company headquarters will normally deploy with the regimental trains.

(f) Like the Division TCAE, the MI Co TCAE technically controls SIGINT assets. The TCAE will deploy with the MI Co TOC, usually within 2-3 kms of the Regimental TOC.

(g) The Operations Support Platoon will aid the regimental S3 in planning the Regiment's OPSEC operations and deception operations. It has two operational teams to support the regiment. Counter Intelligence team is a 4 man team that will be responsible for counterintelligence operations throughout the regimental AO and will therefore normally operate in general support to the regiment, reporting directly to the CM&D section. The Interrogation team is a 5 man team responsible for interrogating Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW), interviewing line crossers and refugees in order to gain intelligence information which it will report to the CM&D section directly. The interrogation team will normally locate with the regimental EPW cage or holding area.

Deploy CI & INTG symbols

(h) The Service Support Platoon provides supply and mess support for the company as well as consolidated DS level maintenance support including IEW systems maintenance, vehicular maintenance and communications-electronics maintenance. This platoon will locates where it can provide the fastest support to deployed company assets.

(i) The Communications Platoon will operate the Regimental Communications Center and provide Radio Teletype (RATT) teams to the TCAE and C&J POC's for dedicated point to point SIGINT tasking and Reporting.

(j) The Collection and Jamming Platoons are the major source of COMINT information for the Regiment. The Platoon HQ and the Transcription and Analysis Team will combine to form the Platoon Operations Center (POC) which controls the platoon assets and receives taskings from the TCAE. The assets of the POC include: the Voice Collection Team that provides the POC information based on HF/VHF/UHF voice collection; and the HF/VHF ECM team which will support ESM missions and perform low power jamming operations. C&J Platoons deploy across the Regimental frontage covering likely enemy Avenues of Approach.

(k) The Surveillance Platoon is organized into three GSR squads each with 3 AN/PPS-5 radars. These squads are usually attached to the individual maneuver squadrons and controlled by their respective S-2s. These squads will normally deploy on the FLOT due to their relatively short range (10 km).

-32-

Show Slide 7 (QF Flt Plt)

(l) The QUICKFIX Flight Platoon is organic to the Aviation Squadron of the Regiment. Its mission is to provide voice communications intercept, jamming, and direction finding results in support of regimental operations. It is under the Operational Control of the MI Company and receives its tasking from the TCAE. Even though the platoon contains no analysis section the platoon will form a POC for control of the aircraft. It consists of three QUICKFIX helicopters that will usually be employed one at a time to cover ground based collectors while they are relocating or during surge periods of enemy communications. This is the only direction finding capability that the Regiment has. The QUICKFIX Flight Platoon will normally locate at the regimental airfield in order to receive the required maintenance and logistics support from the Aviation Squadron.

NOTE: Continue on with INTEL TASKING CYCLE (ECM)

Show Slide 16 (Intel Task-

ing Cycle (ECM)) (38) Build-up: Now that we've discussed the Intelligence Tasking and Reporting Cycle (ESM) for the Heavy Division and ACR, let's look at the ECM Tasking Cycle. Refer to page 17 of your student note taking guide. The Division ECM (Jamming) tasking cycle is dependent upon the standard tactical mission used for the employment of the jamming assets. They may be deployed as part of a company team that is in General Support or in Direct Support or even attached to the maneuver brigade.

(39) Basic Question: If the MI Co Team (with jammers) is in GS to the division, who will start the tasking cycle?

A: Div Commander and his G3.

-46-

(40) Build-up: In GS the division commander aided by his G3 will start the cycle by developing/approving the Electronic Warfare Guidance (EW GUIDANCE). This EW Guidance is the commanders general scheme for jamming. For example "I want to conduct a counter-attack with 1st Bde, we must have jamming support for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) in the following areas...

(41) Basic Question: This EW guidance is actually a tasking message to which DTOCSE section that deals with preplanning ECM operations?

A: The EWS.

(42) Follow-up: The EWS will coordinate with what Division element in order to integrate jamming and fires?

A: The Fire Support Element (FSE).

The EWS will then write the EW Annex, which is an order to the MI Bn.

(Q: This annex goes to which DTOCSE section that is the focal point for communications into and out of the DTOCSE?)

A: The CM&D.

Draw an arrow from the EWS
to the CM&D slapstick.

(Q: The CM&D will perform mission management functions and transmit the tasking to the MI Bn TOC (MI BN TOC). The MI Bn TOC consists of what three HHSC, MI Bn sections?)

A: The S3, S2, and TCAE.

Draw an arrow from CM&D to
the MI BN TOC slapstick.

(43) Build-up: When the MI Bn S3 receives the annex he will task the TCAE to perform the jamming operation. When the TCAE receives this mission tasking it will perform asset management to determine which asset (POC) will be tasked.

(44) Basic Question: Before the TCAE can task a POC what must it add to that tasking from the S3?

A: Technical Data.

It will then perform asset tasking and actually task the appropriate jamming capable POC.

Draw an arrow from the
TCAE to the PLT OPS CNTR
slapstick.

(Q: What jamming POC's can the TCAE task?)

A: Three C&J POCs and one CEWI Flight POC.

(Q: Once the POC receives this tasking from the TCAE, what specific TEAMS does it have to task?)

A: ECM Teams, QF aircraft, or actual names of the jammers in the MI Bn.

This completes the tasking cycle for GS assets. What are your questions before I move into the Direct Support ECM tasking cycle?

(45) Basic Question: If the Company team is in DS to a brigade, who will start the cycle?

A: Bde Commander and his staff

The brigade commander with his staff will start the cycle by developing/approving the EW guidance.

Put up the EW GUIDANCE
Slapstick.

(46) Follow-up questions:

(Q: In the GS role this EW Guidance went to the EWS, but who in the Brigade TOC will receive this guidance?

A: The IEWSE from the MI Bn.

The IEWSE will then write the jamming taskings and task the MI Bn TOC with these missions bypassing the CM&D because the assets are in a DS relationship.

The MI Bn TOC (S3) will receive the taskings and task the TCAE to perform them. The TCAE will then task the POC that is part of the DS MI Company team of that particular brigade. That POC (usually a C&J POC) will then task its individual jamming teams to perform the jamming operation.

In an ATTACHED relationship a TCAE section is normally forward deployed and the MI Bn S3 is skipped, the IEWSE tasks the TCAE directly.

Q: To whom does the IEWSE transmit his tasking request to when the MI Co Team is in DS to the Brigade?

A: The MI Bn TOC or TCAE

(47) Periodic Summary: The ECM Tasking Cycle differs slightly between the GS and DS role. Remember that the EWS and IEWSE are heavily involved to integrate lethal and non-lethal fires in coordination with the FSE or FSO.

NOTE: Return to IC method.

(4) The MI Battalion (Operations) is organized with 3 companies. Its mission is to support the Corps G2/G3 and the MI Bde S2/S3 in planning and managing the Corps IEW operations. The HHS Co will provide battalion control and service support assets for the battalion. The TOC Support Company is just that. It contains the Corps Tactical Operations Center Support Element (CTOCSE). It collocates with the Corps TOC. The third company is the Technical Analysis & Processing Company which deploys with the Brigade TOC as mentioned earlier.

STUDENT CHECK: Q: How many Battalions are organic to the MI Brigade in support of a Corps?

A: 3 Active, 1 Reserve.

(5) The TOC Support Company is organized with a Radio Teletype PLT which will provide a RATT Team to each Division CM&D. It also contains a Telecommunications Center Teletype PLT which provides a unications type platoons, the CTOC Radio TTY platoon will provide a RATT team to each division CM&D for Div CM&D to Corps CM&D communications, the TCAE Radio TTY platoon will provide each division TCAE with a RATT team for TCAE to TCAE communications.

(6) The Technical Analysis & Processing Company is the Corps version of a Division TCAE. In addition to the normal analysis teams, the Company has a TAE RATT PLT which provides a RATT to each subordinate division for TCAE-to-TAE communications.

(7) The MI Battalion (Tactical Exploitation) is organized with four companies which contain all ground based assets. The mission of the battalion is to provide ground based IEW support to the Corps and to the subordinate divisions and ACR of the Corps.

(8) The Headquarters & Headquarters Service Company contains the Battalion headquarters, food service section, and a reproduction team for reproducing/developing Corps photo imagery produced by the Counterintelligence teams. Additionally this company contains a CE/IEW Support PLT and a Mechanical Maintenance Platoon which will be task organized to support the Electronic Warfare Company (TE BN) when they attach elements to the individual divisions. This is similar to the Contact Tms that we discussed in the MI Bn (HVY).

(9) The Counterintelligence/Interrogation Company with its 9 CI and 8 INTG teams will provide CI and INTG support including OPSEC support to the corps, assigned divisions, and ACR.

These CI and INTG teams will not all remain under corps control, some will be attached to the divisions, ACR and be tasked by their respective MI Battalions/Company.

(10) The Electronic Warfare Company provides ground-based SIGINT support to the Corps, Assigned divisions, and ACR with its VHF ECM Platoon and Voice Collection Platoon. The Communications Support Section provides each Platoon with two RATT Teams. The Reports/Analysis Section will provide each Platoon with appropriate MOS qualified personnel for additional analysis capability. Each platoon will be provided a maintenance contact team from the HHS company (TE BN).These assets will be given to the platoons to take forward with them as they are usually ATTACHED to a division to increase that divisions' organic capability.

When those platoons are attached to a divisional MI battalion they will be given 2 RATT teams from the Commo Spt Section of the EW Co. 1 of these RATT teams will be left with the divisional TCAE and the other will be carried by the platoon to its forward location. This way the gaining TCAE has a dedicated RATT link to every platoon in their area of operations.

When these platoons are attached to the MI battalions of the divisons, they are technically controlled and tasked by the MI Bn TCAE. The Voice Collection Platoon contains 3 AN/TRQ-32s and 3 AN/TRQ-30 voice interceptors.

STUDENT CHECK: When a SIGINT-type platoon is ATTACHED from the MI Bn (TE) at Corps to a subordinate Division, who will provide Tech Data and task that Plt?

(11) The Long Range Surveillance Company has the mission to collect HUMINT information through long range reconnaissance and surveillance in the Corps Area of Interest.

Show Slide 38 (LRSC Spt)

Its HQ section provides command and control, supply and medical assistance to the Company. The Operons of 6 teams each will deploy throughout the corps AI collecting HUMINT information based on taskings from the Corps G2. The 3 radio base stations may be deployed in the division AO or in the Corps Rear Area. These base stations will receive HF burst transmitted reports and either pass the info directly to the divisions or to the Corps CM&D sections.

Deployed) The 18 Surveillance Teams organized into 3 Platoons of 6 Teams each will deploy throughout the Corps AI collecting HUMINT information based on taskings from the Corps CM&D. The 3 radio base stations may be deployed the Division AO or in the Corps rear area. These base stations will receive HF burst transmitted reports and either pass the info directly to the Divisions or to the Corps CM&D Sections.

Each Surveillance Team contains 6 men that may deploy up to 150 Km cross FLOT for an 8 day period without resupply.

(12) The MI Battalion Aerial Exploitation is organized with three companies. Its mission is to provide aerial surveillance and passive aerial electronic warfare (ESM) support to the Corps. Unlike the TE Bn this battalion will maintain a GS relationship to the Corps. The HHS Company will provide battalion maintenance, refuelling and medical personnel for the entire battalion.

-54-

(13) The Aviation Company (Aerial Surveillance) provides the corps with organic IMINT resources for identifying and tracking enemy elements. It will deploy at the corps airfield with its two flight sections, imagery analysis section, service platoon for airframe and imagery systems maintenance, and its data terminal. The flight sections will fly Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) or Photography missions in support of CM&D taskings. As data is collected the Imagery analysis section will develop the imagery to verify that it satisfies the request and then transmit it (radio, facsimile, messenger) to the Imagery Analysis section of the CTOCSE where it will be combined with other Imagery to form an IMINT product which the ASPS will use in their all source analysis effort. There are 10 OV-1D MOHAWK aircraft in this company. Remember that MOHAWK will maintain a GS mission to corps.

(14) The Aviation Company (Electronic Warfare) provides aerial (SIGINT), direction finding and ESM to the corps. The Flight Platoon maintains a COMINT aircraft section with the GUARDRAIL system and a NON-COMM aircraft section with the QUICKLOOK II system. The Operations Platoon will man the Ground Processing facility for these systems. The facility is responsible for operating the aircraft, since the aircraft do not have SIGINT operators on board. The operations platoon will be tasked directly by the Corps TCAE. When information is collected and processed by the operations platoon the SIGINT information will be transmitted (using the GUARDRAIL as a relay) to the Corps and divisions TCAE's.

The Commanders Tactical Terminal is used to pass GUARDRAIL results to the divisional and Corps TCAE(s).

STUDENT CHECK: Within the MI Bde at Corps which two aerial systems can provide SIGINT intercept and DF?

Show Slide 49 (HHS, AE Bn) The HHS Company provides command and control for the MI Battalion (Aerial Exploitation).

(15) The MI Battalion (Tactical Exploitation) (Reserve Component) is organized with 5 companies to support and augment the existing battalions of the MI brigade. The HHS Company will provide command and control and service support to the battalion, the Operations Analysis Company will support the Operations Company (MI Bn (Ops)), the CI/INTG Co will augment the CI/INTG Co (MI Bn (TE)) and the two EW Companies will be attached to the maneuver divisions or ACR.

(16) The Operations/Analysis Company contains many sections to support the Operations Company (MI Bn Ops). The maintenance support section will provide unit level maintenance, the CTOCSE will augment the Active CTOCSE and perform various functions for the battalion when they train by themselves. The Operations support section plans and tasks CI and INTG operations, the Operations/technical management section augments the corps and division TCAE(s), the Technical Intelligence Section will analyze captured equipment and technical manuals, and finally the SIGINT Operations section will maintain the SIGINT Tech Data for the Battalion.

-56-

(17) The CI/INTG Co will augment the active CI/INTG co. The CI Operations section will manage, analyze and report CI HUMINT to the CM&D. The INTG Platoon will manage, analyze and report INTG and exploitation HUMINT, perform document exploitation and SIGINT/EW specific document exploitation. Some of the 8 CI teams and 5 INTG teams will be retained in GS to the corps while the others will be attached to the divisions.

When the teams are attached to the divisional MI battalions they will be tasked directly by the MI Bn S3(s). When they are in GS to the Corps they will be tasked by their respective operations section/platoon.

(EW CO (ECM)) (18) The Platoons of the Electronic Warfare Company (ECM) will be attached to the divisional MI Battalions. These 3 ECM platoons will then be directly tasked by the MI Bn TCAE(s) for jamming and intercept operations. They will come to the division with their own communications and maintenance capability. Each ECM platoon is equipped with 1 AN/TLQ 17A low power jammer.

(19) The Electronic Warfare Company (Collection), MI Bn (TE)(RC). It is organized with a Voice Collection Platoon and a Maintenance Support Platoon. The Voice Collection will be attached to the divisional MI Bn's and technically controlled and tasked by the MI Bn TCAE(s). The Voice Collection Platoon is equipped with the AN/TRQ-32 and AN/TRQ-30. 3 of each of these systems are in the platoon.

Bn (TE)(RC) Support) (20) The HHS Company of the MI Bn (TE)(RC) provides command and control and plans and manages battalion operations.

Show Slide 63 (Summary) (21) This concludes the organization of the MI Brigade at Corps. Remember that there are 3 active duty battalions and 1 reserve component battalion.

Show Slide 66 (Corps T&R
Cycle)

f. CORPS INTELLIGENCE TASKING & REPORTING CYCLE

(1) Build-up: The Tasking and Reporting Cycle for the Corps MI Bde is similar to those cycles of the Division and ACR. The Corps Commander with his staff will start the cycle by developing/approving the PIR/IR (PIR/IR).

These PIR/IR are actually tasking messages to the (CM&D).

The CM&D will perform mission management functions and develop the collection plan.

(2) Basic Question: What entities does the Corps CM&D have to task?

A: The Divisions, ACR, SEP BDE, MI Bde, & EAC assets.

Draw an arrow from CM&D to
all the above place slap-
sticks.

(3) Follow-up Questions:

(Q: What are the elements of the MI Bde TOC?) A: The Bde S3, S2, and TAE.

(Q: Which categories of intelligence can the MI Bde S3 task?)

A: HUMINT, IMINT or SIGINT.

(Q: If the mission is HUMINT, which Bn will the Bde S3 Task?)

A: The MI Bn (TE)

The TE Bn S3 will in turn task the CI or IPW Operations section or Platoon.

stick The CI or IPW Ops personnel will in turn task the individual CI or INTG teams (not detached teams).

(Q: If the mission is IMINT, who will the S3 task?)

A: The MI Bn (AE) S3.

(Q: Who, in turn, will the MI Bn (AE) S3 task?)

A: OV-1D Flight Sections.

(Q: If the mission is a SIGINT mission then whom will the S3 task?)

A: Corps TAE.

When the TAE receives this mission tasking it will perform asset tasking to determine which asset (GUARDRAIL OR QUICKLOOK II) will be tasked with the mission. If GUARDRAIL or QUICKLOOK cannot collect it, the TAE will request assistance from the Theatre TCAE.

Put up the GUARDRAIL
and QUICKLOOK Slapsticks.

The TAE will then add the necessary Technical Data and directly task the GUARDRAIL and QUICKLOOK aircraft.

Draw an arrow from the
TCAE to the GUARDRAIL and
QUICKLOOK Slapsticks.

(4) Periodic Summary: This completes the tasking half of the cycle. There are 3 categories of intelligence that can be tasked by the MI Bde S3. They are HUMINT, IMINT, and SIGINT.

(5) Build-up: When the GUARDRAIL or QUICKLOOK II aircraft collect information they report directly to the TAE. Also at this time the Theatre TCAE could be reporting back to the MI Bde TAE.

(6) Basic Question: The TAE then performs final analysis to produce what category of intelligence?

(7) Answer: SIGINT.

-61-

This SIGINT is reported to the CM&D.

At the same time CM&D is receiving reports directly from the CI/INTG Operations elements and the IA section for the MOHAWK imagery and the other agencies.

(8) Follow-up Questions:

(Q: With which other section in the CTOCSE will the CM&D work to identify gaps in the collection plan?)

A: ASPS.

The ASPS performs all source analysis and produces a product (ALL INT).

This product may be written (INTSUM) which will be given back to CM&D for dissemination.

(Q: Whom will the ASPS brief periodically to ensure all PIR/IR have been answered?

A: Commander.

-62-
Draw an arrow from the
ASPS to the 2nd CM&D and
cover this arrow with the
GAPS slapstick.

(9) Periodic Summary: The Tasking and Reporting Cycle for Intelligence Collection for the MI Bde is much the same as those for the ACR and Divisions. Remember that the MI Brigade can task IMINT in addition to HUMINT and SIGINT. Also, remember that the Corps TAE will not normally task ground-based SIGINT assets as they are normally attached to subordinate elements.

What are your questions concerning the Corps Tasking and Reporting Cycle?
