Provide CI support to FP.

Provide particularly int support by getting proficient in TQ,Screening,DOCEX.

To enable SECONDARY INT COLLECTION CAPABILITY-MP,Check Points Inf Soldiers,R&S Teams,Patrols.)


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

Movingthroughout 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.
