SIPAHI ROOM

CRPF MISSION COMMAND

TACTICAL STRATEGY:
1.Take over from outgoing unit and review int ops & threat/non kinetic/cultural data..battle handoff

2.Confirm what we think we know.

3.Assess locals data..threat..own vulnerability..compare with battle handoff info

4.Report changes

5.ID Int Requirement and Prioritize

6.State Cdrs Intent

7.Conduct population centric and area study and life pattern ..int pltns embedded in patrols tasked

8.Answer Int Requirements...int pltns tasked

9.ID potential targets..nominate white grey black..lists

10.Develop Target Packs

11.Confirm Targets.

///COA SELECTION//

12.Execute Kinetic+Non Kinetic Ops..integrate police EW Higher HQ G2

13.Assess success and collateral damage plus 2nd 3rd order effects

14.After Action Review

15.Change int requirements after int collected while executing ops

16.New Cdrs Intent

That's my continuos running Tactical int ops cycle for CRPF

My pilot unit will address insurgent tactics not insurgent forces.And the cdr will be taught to differentiate on knowledge domain..what he thinks he knows..what he actually knows and what he NEEDS to know.Confirm what he thinks he knows.Compare with what he actually knows.Then zero to missing info.Tempo demands simplicity.

No complex architecture. Am simply giving everything a structured form aided by Coy Int Section

Coy level int capability COIN Enduring Effects:

1.Deter insurgent activity through lowering their probability of success and increasing their

risk of death or capture.

2.Disrupt insurgent activity by dominating their operating space and constraining their

freedom of action.

3.Detain positively identified insurgents wherever possible.

4.Develop targets by acquiring more intelligence for subsequent ops - either by us or other

agencies.

AND

Reassure locals that we operate in their local interests.
Relieve suffering, poverty within means, without unrealistically raising expectations or
becoming fixed.
Regain trust, consent, support or lost networks through disaffection or lack of continuity.
Reinforce our own Force Protection through local sympathy/goodwill and creation of a
non-permissive environment for the insurgent.

To these ends i have created:

Bn level organic int:
Coy level int sections.
Force Protection Dets.
Human Exploitation Teams using friendly elicitation and non aggressive tactical questioning techniques.
Target nomination teams
Document exploitation and captured equipment exploitation teams.
Int enabled combat R&S teams.
Topographical Teams.
Psyops Teams.
MI Bn
Collection and Exploitation Coy in a dedicated seperate MI Bn
Humint Coy
CI Coy

[18/02, 8:22 am] Platoon: In addition i have templated a conflict targeting spectrum tending to both SOF and conventional missions..with target feasibility..nomination..requirements management..int collection all with different int-ops integration as applicable to both ends of the spectrum.

[18/02, 8:22 am] Platoon: We must clearly understand int -ops dynamic..inseperable..integrated..int residing within ops.Not int led ops but int "driven" ops.Period.

[18/02, 6:50 pm] Platoon: The OISO..a new staff officer function will do away with the lack of synchrony between ops and int..contribute to military decision planning by aiding in precise int requirements determination through awareness about available collection assets as against each operation tactic employed..ops being broken down into manageable sections for int collection.

[18/02, 6:55 pm] Platoon: He will be assisted by GSO2A-Ops and GSO2B-Int..distinct from the standard GS Ops and GS Int functions.

[18/02, 6:55 pm] Platoon: This is the only way int will drive ops.

[18/02, 6:55 pm] Platoon: The two will understand all facets of each others domains..interact in an integrated manner and together with the Requirements-Asset-Collection officer advise the OISO..who will feed info to both Ops and Int Staff.

[18/02, 6:59 pm] Platoon: Tactical Common operating picture is gained once ground soldiers trained in basic int establish int-reach with the two junior assistants of OISO.Cdrs planning should include live feeds from battle area of ops or simulated battle environ.That is all Sir

[18/02, 7:18 pm] Platoon: OISO will help in cotrecting identified

capability gaps and shortfalls:

(1) Improve collection planning across all echelons

(2) Improve collection assets visibility

(3) Improve collection requirements visibility

(4) Reduce unintentional redundancy of collection assets

(5) Implement a cross-echelon prioritization scheme

(6) Improve intelligence, information and data visibility

(7) Improve the dynamic ad hoc re-tasking process.

COLLECTION ASSETS [DESIGNED FOR ARMY BUT CAN BE SCALED DOWN TO FIT CRPF REQUIREMENTS.]
