  TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT
  6-64. Information moves throughout various echelons along specific transmission paths or channels.
  Establishing command and support relationships directs the flow of reported information during intelligence
  operations. Channels assist in streamlining information dissemination by ensuring the right information
  passes promptly to the right users. Commanders and staffs normally communicate through three channels:
  command, staff, and technical. (See ADP 6-0 and ATP 6-02.71.)
  6-65. Commanders direct operations but often rely on technical expertise to plan, prepare, execute, and
  assess units’ collection efforts. Technical channels involve translating information collection tasks into
  specific parameters used to focus highly technical or legally sensitive aspects of the information collection
  effort. Technical channels include but are not limited to—
  ⚫ Defining, managing, or prescribing specific employment techniques.
  ⚫ Identifying critical technical collection criteria such as technical indicators.
  ⚫ Providing supporting technical data or databases.
  ⚫ Recommending collection techniques, procedures, or assets.
  ⚫ Conducting operational reviews.
  ⚫ Conducting operational coordination.
  ⚫ Conducting specialized intelligence training.
  6-66. Commanders and staffs ensure adherence to applicable laws, policies, and regulations, including but
  not limited to those listed in appendix D. They also ensure the proper use of doctrinal techniques and provide
  technical support and guidance. During intelligence operations, the intelligence staff ensures adherence to
  technical authorities through technical control.
