  TECHNIQUES
  4-68. The debriefer can use several methods to gather information. A good technique is to use a map
  of the team's AO. He starts at the team's point of infiltration and follows their routes and actions through
  exfiltration. He monitors the flow of information to ensure the team covers all events, sightings, and
  activities up to the point of arrival at the debriefing site. After going over the initial mission information,
  he segments route information. He asks specific questions, emphasizing the specific WFF that affected
  the team's mission. On a clean map overlay, the team leader and other members of the team annotate
  route deviations, enemy sightings, or mission-sensitive information. Rather than leading participants
  through the reconstruction of the mission, he keeps them focused and asks them questions for
  clarification. The team leader is the key, but not the only, speaker. He helps ensure that each member
  gets the chance to say what he saw.
  Prepared Questions
  4-69. The debriefer asks about observed target types.
  Spot Reports
  4-70. The team elaborates on their earlier reports.
  Map
  4-71. The team talks through the mission as executed.
  INITIAL DEBRIEFING
  4-72. The LRS operations section, a member of the BFSB S-2 ISR fusion element and a
  representative of the R&S squadron S-2 section conduct this portion of the debriefing, but other staff
  elements may also attend. This debriefing should help answer PIR, intelligence requirements, SIR, and
  ISR tasks and RFIs. When the team arrives, the debriefer escorts them to the site. The initial debriefing is
  quick and to the point. The debriefer chooses what format and line of questioning he will use.
  POST-INITIAL DEBRIEFING
  4-73. At the end of the formal debrief, a communications representative debriefs the RTO. He covers
  communications-specific information when certain antennas worked best, which frequencies were best,
  and other communications-specific issues. After the initial intelligence debriefing, the intelligence staff
  gathers all maps, logs, notebooks, papers, exposed film, video tapes, photographs, recovered equipment,
  and other material. If necessary, they inventory all rucksacks, map cases, and uniform pockets to ensure
  that they have collected all items of intelligence interest. Then, they thoroughly review all of the
  collected items for data and formulate more detailed questions for the next stage of debriefing. The team
  remains separated from outside contact until after the follow-up debrief, but can start recovery operations
  (showering, eating, sleeping, and conducting post-mission maintenance).
  REVIEW OF DOCUMENTS AND OTHER MATERIAL
  4-74. The BFBS and R&S squadron S-2 sections process all of the information the team collected.
  Individual members of the team can be requisitioned to clarify a sketch or log entry. The LRS team also
  begins to complete a debrief report and to collate their AAR notes. The R&S squadron and LRS
  operations section collects information on the adequacy of MPF, intelligence and operations support.
  The original overlays and maps should not be destroyed or discarded. After properly classifying and
  annotating them, the squadron S-2 files them. Later, they will go into the unit historian's archives, for
  reference in case of future missions into the same AO. These artifacts, consisting of actual operations
  overlays, maps, orders, and debriefing records, should go into an historical database. Though considered
  of little immediate value, the information in these items assumes increased importance over time, not
  only for historical reasons, but also for reference for future operations.
