  Appendix L
  Sample Equipment for HCT Operations
  L-1. This materiel and equipment list is provided as a sample of what an
  HCT may require to support the commander’s intelligence requirements.
  Some of the equipment that is intended to be given to a source should be
  considered expendable.
  L-2. HCT Kit Bag - Assumes four-person configuration for each echelon.
  Regardless of support relationship (Organic/DS/GS/GSR), HCTs inherently
  require the following.
  L-3. Movement/Survivability/Security:
  • Two M998 1-¼ ton vehicle (or non-tactical vehicle as appropriate for
  mission) per team.
  • One crew/squad served weapon per team.
  • One M16A2 per team.
  • Three M4s per team.
  • Four 9mms per team.
  • M68 Aim-point System.
  • One x body armor with protective plate per team member.
  L-4. Collection and Reporting System - Hardware 1 x System per HCT:
  • Scaleable collection and reporting tool that changes configuration
  depending on where it is on the battlefield.
  • Should include an individual collection and reporting tool.
  • Should include a tool for stand-alone SIPRNET connectivity via satellite
  or other.
  L-5. Collection and Reporting System - Software 1 x per System:
  • Simple, intuitive Graphic User Interface (GUI).
  • Standardized Reports - SALUTE, IIR, Tactical Interrogation Report,
  Contact Report, BSD Report. (Policy states that once filled out, the BSD
  becomes classified; therefore, change policy or make the collection or
  reporting tool classified as well.)
  • Source Management Tool.
  • CI Investigations Reports.
  • Link Analysis (capable of interface with coalition systems––in this case,
  Analyst Notebook).
  • Mapping - Single, standardized tool (down to 1:12,500 scale maps,
  operational graphics, GPS interface).
