  HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
  1-4. HUMINT is the collection of information by a trained HUMINT collector
  (military occupational specialties [MOSs] 97E, 351Y [formerly 351C], 351M
  [formerly 351E], 35E, and 35F), from people and their associated documents
  and media sources to identify elements, intentions, composition, strength,
  dispositions, tactics, equipment, personnel, and capabilities. It uses human
  sources as a tool and a variety of collection methods, both passively and
  actively, to gather information to satisfy the commander’s intelligence
  requirements and cross-cue other intelligence disciplines.
  1-5. HUMINT tasks include but are not limited to—
  • Conducting source operations.
  • Liaising with host nation (HN) officials and allied counterparts.
  • Eliciting information from select sources.
  • Debriefing US and allied forces and civilian personnel including
  refugees, displaced persons (DPs), third-country nationals, and local
  inhabitants.
  • Interrogating EPWs and other detainees.
  • Initially exploiting documents, media, and materiel.
  Note. In accordance with Army regulatory and policy guidance, a select set of intelligence
  personnel may be trained and certified to conduct certain HUMINT tasks outside of those
  which are standard for their primary MOS. Such selection and training will qualify these
  personnel to conduct only those specific additional tasks, and will not constitute
  qualifications as a HUMINT collector.
  HUMINT SOURCE
  1-6. A HUMINT source is a person from whom information can be obtained.
  The source may either possess first- or second-hand knowledge normally
  obtained through sight or hearing. Potential HUMINT sources include
  threat, neutral, and friendly military and civilian personnel. Categories of
  HUMINT sources include but are not limited to detainees, refugees, DPs,
  local inhabitants, friendly forces, and members of foreign governmental and
  non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
  HUMINT COLLECTOR
  1-7. For the purpose of this manual, a HUMINT collector is a person who is
  specifically trained and certified for, tasked with, and engages in the
  collection of information from individuals (HUMINT sources) for the purpose
  of answering intelligence information requirements. HUMINT collectors
  specifically include enlisted personnel in MOS 97E, Warrant Officers (WOs)
  in MOS 351M (351E) and MOS 351Y (351C), commissioned officers in MOS
  35E and MOS 35F, select other specially trained MOSs, and their Federal
  civilian employee and civilian contractor counterparts. These specially
  trained and certified individuals are the only personnel authorized to
  conduct HUMINT collection operations, although CI agents also use
  HUMINT collection techniques in the conduct of CI operations. HUMINT
