  HUMINT CONTROL ORGANIZATIONS
  2-3. HUMINT control organizations are the means by which a commander
  exercises command of a unit’s operations. HUMINT control organizations are
  vital to the effective use of HUMINT collection assets. HUMINT control
  organizations consist of the C/J/G/S2X and the HUMINT operations cell
  (HOC) at the brigade and above level and the OMTs at the battalion and
  below level.
  C/J/G/S2X
  2-4. The C/J/G/S2X is a staff element subordinate to the C/J/G/S2, is the
  primary advisor on HUMINT and CI, and is the focal point for all HUMINT
  and CI activities within a joint task force (JTF) (J2X), an Army component
  task force (G2X) or a brigade combat team (BCT) (S2X). The 2X can be
  organic to the unit staff or can be attached or under operational control
  (OPCON) to the staff from another organization such as the theater MI
  brigade. The C/J/G/S2X is part of a coherent architecture that includes
  organic HUMINT assets and HUMINT resources from national, theater, and
  non-DOD HUMINT organizations.
  2-5. The C/J2X is responsible for controlling Joint Force HUMINT assets,
  coordinating all HUMINT and CI collection activities, and keeping the joint
  force C/J/2 informed on all HUMINT and CI activities conducted in the joint
  force area of responsibility (AOR). The C/J2X is also part of the review and
  recommendation process concerned with the retention or release of detainees.
  HUMINT reports maintained at the C/J2X are considered during the review
  for release process. The C/J2X consists of the 2X Officer, a HOC, a
  Counterintelligence Coordination Authority (CICA), a HUMINT Analysis
  Cell (HAC), and a CI Analysis Cell (CIAC). At all echelons, the 2X should
  also include an Operational Support Cell (OSC) staffed to operate 24 hours a
  day. The authority and operational responsibilities of a C/J2X in combined or
  joint contingency operations (CONOP) takes precedence over service-specific
  CI and HUMINT technical control agencies. Specifically, the C/J/G/S2X⎯
  • Accomplishes technical control and support, and deconfliction of all
  HUMINT and CI assets through the Army component G2X, the
  HUMINT and CI operations sections, or the OMTs.
  • Participates in planning for deployment of HUMINT and CI assets in
  support of operations.
  • Coordinates, through the HOC and the CICA, all HUMINT and CI
  activities to support intelligence collection and the intelligence aspects
  of force protection for the deployed commander.
  • Coordinates and deconflicts all HUMINT and CI operations within the
  operational area.
  • Coordinates with the senior US national intelligence representative for
  specific operational approval when required by standing agreements.
  • Is the release authority for HUMINT reporting at his echelon and only
  releases reports to the all-source system after ensuring all technical
  control measures for reporting have been met.
