  * Protection. Preservation of the effectiveness and survivability of mission-related military and
  nonmilitary personnel, equipment, facilities, information, and infrastructure.
  * Disposal. Final disposition of explosive ordnance and components, which may include detonation
  or a controlled burn.
  2-36. Table 2-5 provides an overview of EOD units, planning requirements, and capabilities at the company
  level that may be task-organized to the MEB. For additional information on EOD operations see ATP 4-32.3
  and FM 4-30.
  Table 2-5. EOD mission planning and capabilities
  Organization Mission Planning Capabilities
  EOD company 1 per MEB • Direct EOD support to designated brigade or area EOD
  general support to designated multifunctional brigade.
  • Planning and execution cell in addition to providing
  company level oversight and execution of administrative
  and logistics support for up to five EOD platoons.
  • Neutralize hazards resulting from domestic or foreign
  conventional, nuclear, chemical biological ordnance, and
  improvised explosive devices.
  EOD platoon 1-3 per explosive • Command and control for activities conducted by
  ordnance company response teams.
  • Receipt, prioritization, and dispatch of EOD response
  teams.
  • Teams organized to neutralize hazards resulting from
  domestic or foreign conventional, nuclear, chemical
  biological ordnance, and improvised explosive devices.
  • Limited ability to augment battalion level headquarters
  with special staff expertise associated with EOD hazards.
  • Support to the United States Secret Service in the
  protection of the President, Vice President, and other
  dignitaries as directed.
  • Removal of stuck rounds and downloading of misfired

  Note. The considerations presented in the mission planning and capabilities tables primarily
  describe potential employment and capabilities of the described organization. These notional
  considerations do not relieve planners of the requirement to perform detailed mission analysis to
  support the identification and employment of specific capabilities required to accomplish the
  MEB’s missions
  MILITARY INTELLIGENCE COMPANY
  2-37. All-source intelligence support at the MEB level is very basic and focuses on ground operations. A
  task organized military intelligence company provides collection and additional analysis capability to the
  MEB. The MEB commander and staff task-organize the military intelligence company based on the mission
  variables (METT-TC). To offset capability shortfalls, the MEB intelligence staff integrates elements of the
  military intelligence company into its staff operations. For operational considerations, such as weighting the
  main effort, the MEB may task-organize intelligence support teams from the military intelligence company,
  counter intelligence teams, human intelligence teams, or signals intelligence teams to support a battalion.
