  HUMINT teams must be able to travel to, and report from, all areas of
  the battlefield. Digital communication equipment must be able to
  provide reliable connectivity with teams’ reporting channels and
  sufficient bandwidth for transmission of reports, including digital
  imagery.
  • Timely reporting and immediate access to sources. Except in tactical
  situations when HUMINT collectors are in immediate support of
  maneuver units, HUMINT collection and reporting takes time. In
  stability and reconstruction operations, sources need to be assessed
  and developed. Once they are developed, they need to be contacted
  which often takes time and coordination. In offensive and defensive
  operations, HUMINT collection at detainee holding areas sometimes
  may still be timely enough to meet tactical and operational
  requirements. See paragraphs 3-2 and 3-7 for more information on
  offensive and defensive operations.
