(Summary:
Provide TOC for Battle Tracking in COIN and Conventional ops manned by NCOs and Senior NCOs/JCOs.Concept is to train them so that they can handle effectively the various Warfighting functions.
Provide UNIT1 and UNIT2 support. (Unit1-HUMINT Unit) (UNIT2-CI UNIT)
Provide CI capability to RSTA-BDA.
Provide CI support to FP.
Provide particularly int support by getting proficient in TQ,Screening,DOCEX.

At the Bn level we will have:
Int assets (organic) made out of selected soldiers from line Companies , Battalions.These units prevade the entire area of ops , closest to the ground , and aware of int gaps not apparent to higher HQ as they view the AO from a coarser resolution while its finer resolution for line company commanders.
Line troops are generally
Going on patrol duty
Establish observation and listening posts
Conducting or escorting convoys
Moving throughout the operational area
We cannot have higher HQ deploy the very limited int assets throughout the AO.This is where the line soldiers come in.They are ''all'' information collectors and organic int cells from every company/battalion drastically increase the ground int staff strength over the operational area thus leading to credible actionable intelligence collection.They can conduct the int ops outlined in A1 above given adequate training.
