  Section VII. IMAGERY COLLECTION AND TRANSMISSION
  The timely and accurate collection and transmission of imagery, video or hand drawn pictures of the objective,
  plays a key role in the success of follow-on missions. The purpose of imagery collection and transmission is to
  provide an accurate description of enemy strengths, positions and capabilities so that the commander can make
  informed decisions. With the introduction of new technology and integration between digital cameras, global
  positioning system (GPS) devices, laser range-finding equipment and other electronic devices, it is now easier
  and of more tactical value to take digital imagery of objectives. The use of a digital camera with laser range-
  finding equipment and GPS helps produce clear, real-time information.
