  accurate intelligence to support a decision or cross-cue other collection
  capabilities. Long-range surveillance (LRS) is often employed when
  discreet observation of an activity is necessary over a long period of
  time or when a collection system that can respond to redirection is
  necessary.
  • Criminal Intelligence Operations. CID personnel, in cooperation
  with MP soldiers, play a key role by linking criminal intelligence to
  specific groups and events. The criminal intelligence collection effort
  specifically targets weapons, drugs, organized crime, and identities of
  smuggling routes. The identification of smuggling routes results in a
  significant increase in numbers of weapons being confiscated. The
  timely transfer of criminal intelligence products to tactical units
  enables a rapid response to serious confrontations, increased
  confiscation of arms and ammunition, and improved stability in a TF
  and AO. The Fusion Cell within the ACE develops intelligence
  products from national, theater, and operational sources. Due to the
  significant threat that criminal elements pose, CID military agents
  and CID civilian analysts may be attached to the Fusion Cell to
  facilitate the police intelligence function.
  STRATEGIC DEBRIEFING OPERATIONS
  5-43. Strategic debriefing is debriefing activity conducted to collect
  information or to verify previously collected information in response to
  national or theater level collection priorities. This avoids surprises of a
  strategic nature and is used to support long-range strategic planning.
  Strategic debriefing is conducted in peacetime as well as in wartime. It often
  fills intelligence gaps on extremely sensitive topics or areas. The sources for
  strategic debriefing include but are not limited to émigrés, refugees,
  displaced persons, defectors, and selected US personnel.
  Strategic debriefing guidance is provided in DIAM 58-11 (S//NF),
  DIAM 58-12 (S//NF), and DODD 3115.09, "DOD Intelligence, Interrogations,
  Detainee Debriefings, and Tactical Questioning."
  5-44. Strategic debriefing is conducted in a non-hostile, business-like
  manner. The rapport posture is usually amicable as the source is usually
  willingly answering national level intelligence needs. Although voluntary
  sources may not be motivated by a desire for money or other material
  incentives, it is necessary to ensure that any promised incentives are
  delivered. The time used in a strategic debriefing can range from days to
  years. Sources typically have high-level backgrounds in scientific, industrial,
  political, or military areas.
  5-45. Information gathered as strategic intelligence is categorized into eight
  components. Each of these components can be divided into subcomponents.
  These components and subcomponents are neither all-encompassing nor
  mutually exclusive. This approach enhances familiarization with the types of
  information included in strategic intelligence. An easy way to remember
  these components is the acronym "BEST MAPS":
