  intelligence, and TCF) that it has a command or support relationship with within the support area to conduct
  reconnaissance, security, intelligence operations, and surveillance. (See table 4-1 for unit capabilities.) If the
  support area designated land owner is not task-organized with adequate information collection assets, it

  surveillance systems.
