INT FORCE PROJECTION DOCTRINE AS AGAINST FORCE PROJECTION DOCTRINE
MODIFIED INT ARCHITECTURE WITH CREATION OF INT FORCE PROJECTION CAPABILITY
NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE CAPABILITY WITH INT AS COMBAT FORCE TO DELIVER COMMON OPERATING PICTURE AT ALL ECHELONS.
NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE CAPABILITY WITH INT AS COMBAT FORCE TO DELIVER COMMON OPERATING PICTURE AT ALL ECHELONS.
MISSION: To secure enemy held unexplored area of interest AI , to facilitate safe entry and deployment of Brigade combat elements plus deliver a smooth Int Battle Handoff to Bde Int Staff Officer.
As battle handoff gets completed Bde Int Staff Officer gives available threat assessment,int summary ,terrain and demographic info and human terrain (exploitation ops) info to Cdr thus facilitating deoployment mode while Bde Int Projection Team gets replaced with fresh team which moves further deep to cary out ops.
Each Bde must have 2-3 Fwd Deployment Int Projection Combat Enabled ISR Bn with HUMINT/CI Assets.
We need a seperate IPB Team for AO & Interim R&S Squads/Platoons to conduct preliminary semi-deep R&S to ascertain safe ingress/egress points for the IPCEISR Bn.
The IPCEISR Bn will seize areas and conduct R&S ,community ops,human terrain ops, tactical questioning, ops to determine enemy threat assessment , act as early warning system and facilitate rapid deployment of Incoming forces.
Objective; To reduce the incoming forces Cdr need to study the new hostile territory by employing intelligence assets in a very uncertain environment of which there are virtually no information available.The IPCEISR facilitates situational awareness and development of the to-be-deployed-forces Commander.
Colocated with the Bde HQ we can have the IPCEISR Hq and a forward base Hq ...the R&S Teams report to this forward base Hq while the int/CI platoon elements report to the int section of the IPCEISR Hq.
The entire setup depends critically on successful encrypted/secure communication protocols/channels:
Information sharing between elements of IPCEISR--Horizontal/lateral
Int Push to Base Hq and IPCEISR HQ
Int reach of the IPCEISR members
Its very important to conduct mission-needs-capability analysis in light of terrain /enemy disposition/other estimates
gathered from overhead sensors and semi-deep R&S Squads to design the TOE and Vehicle (trade offs between heavy armor protection and mobility in light of terrain and other requirements/constraints)-transport/mounted/dismounted capabilities,gun crew-vehicle crew-R&S strength and role-change with casualties etc. --- of the IPCEISR Teams.
