  Retask Assets
  4-29. The staff may issue orders to retask assets. This is normally in consultation with the intelligence
  officer and other staff sections. Retasking is assigning an information collection asset with a new task and
  purpose. It occurs—
  * Upon completion of the staff’s initial requirement.
  * On order, after the LTIOV and having not satisfied the original requirement. (Adjusting the
  LTIOV may be required.)
  * As planned to support a branch or sequel.
  * In response to a variance.
  TRANSITION TO THE NEXT OPERATION
  4-30. A transition occurs when the commander decides to change focus from one type of military operation
  to another. Updating information collection tasking may result in a change of focus for several collection
  assets. As with any other unit, collection assets may require rest and refit—or lead time for employment—
  to transition from one mission or operation to another effectively.
