Support to Division:
The focus of intelligence and counterintelligence should shift from purely strategic to the support of strategic through tactical operations.
Thus far detachments/units working to collect intelligence functioned under one chain of command , a rather autonomous function , what is needed now the individual operator or special agent operates as a part of a much larger team than his own unit.Adjacent and far flung companies should be interconnected w.r.t ''intelligence-awareness'' and hence lateral communication between all the organic int sections and CI agents.Shifting from pure strategic to support of strategic through tactical operations requires modifications in doctrine , requires organic int capability in combat units.


Every Battalion has its own organic int section.This int section will also have 2 CI agents.The int section will be authorized to communicate with the Regiment G2 Int and laterally with other Battalion int sections.The G2Int office will have two commissioned officers of the rank of Captain and Lieutenant.Apart from executing secondary collection activities of  the int requirements of the Battalion Cdr , a Battalion Detachment Cell composed of selected personnel from among the int sections will provide int support to the Division separately.As the personnel staffing the BDC are from among local battalion int cells they are close to the ground situation in the overall Area of Ops of the Division and as they come from far and seperated sub-AOs , the composed team will have personnel of varying rich experience from their own AO and as a result the admixture will be better able to prioritize and execute intelligence tasks and be in a much better position (due to enhanced situational awareness) to feed adequate and accurate intelligence to the DIV G2.This is lateral intelligence operations (Battalion wise) and upward vertical intelligence operations(push to DIV G2).The Battalion int section CI agents will form the Counterintelligence Control Line spanned across the full area of operations along the forward/near-border perimiter.Details in next section.This combitorial arrangement will act as a double sheathed sword , and mind you the number of collectors per unit AO (due to every Battalion having its own int cell) is increased considerably with much greater exploitation of the physical and human terrain.
This horizontal and vertical arrangement has following objectives:
1.Localized intelligence collection activities , each Coy level int cell focussing on the area of operations under its purview.
2.Inter-Battalion intelligence exchange thus apprising every commander of the overall situation thus leading to enhanced situation awareness and development.
3.Seperate CI activities in the same vein as above.
4.More intensive coverage w.r.t human terrain exploitation and physical terrain profiling.
5.Organic intelligence support(with local knowledge and expertise) in form of Battalion Detachment Cell supporting Div G2 Int planning and execution , rather than external detachments from Int Corps HQ.
6.Establishing the Counterintelligence Control Line to check infiltration , exfiltration and other ops.

Counterintelligence Control Line:

Composed of  CI agents belonging to Battalion int section , this control line will be running across the length of the Div or Army sector with check points established at road junctions , bridges , cafes,hotels,villages near the border or a bit more inside.The objective is to prevent infiltration  by screening individuals for travel reasons/authorization documents,identify suspected enemy agents and terrorists,and terrorists or enemy soldiers/agents in civilian clothing.Secondly prevent outward movement of terrorists sympathizers , would be terrorists and escape of terrorists .The underlying concept is increased security consciousness and counterintelligence effort.Identification documents and stories will be closely scrutinized by CI personnel in conjunction with troops and MP soldiers manning checkpoints and roadblocks.As for other points such as hotels , villages , cafes , mosques , CI personnel in strength of two can keep a watch and if need be detain and question suspects.The Counterintelligence Control Line is a very important line of defense against the launchpads of terrorists operating from POK.CI agents , Military Police and Combat elements can collaborate to render the Counterintelligence Control Line effective.The points of control inside civil areas can be manned by CI agents in civil attire , trained in observation and tactical questioning (not interrogation) skills.These are all 24 hour security posts with small interrogation centers established near border areas , where questioning of all suspicious elements will take place..Communication between the control nodes will make it possible for not too distant units to know about developments which might affect their area.Communication between CCL nodes and Army areas will help further in deterring infiltration and apprehend/identify/liquidate those who have infiltrated or going outward.
