  ENCOURAGING COLLABORATION AND DIALOGUE
  3-118. Throughout the operations process, commanders encourage continuous collaboration and dialogue
  among the staff and with unified action partners to plan, execute, and assess reconnaissance and security
  operations. Collaboration and dialogue develops shared understanding throughout the force. The operations
  and intelligence-working group comprises designated staff officers that coordinate and integrate information
  collection activities and provide the commander and the BCT S-3 with recommendations. The operations
  and intelligence-working group develops and refines the information collection plan as part of the BCT’s
  reconnaissance and security operations. (Refer to FM 3-55 for more information.)
  3-119. The BCT S-3 directs the operations efforts of coordinating and integrating special staff officers. The
  S-3 integrates and synchronizes plans and orders and supervises management of the CCIRs. The BCT S-2
  works with the entire staff to prepare the information collection plan and identify information collection
  requirements for inclusion. The intelligence staff, with input from the staff representatives, assists the brigade
  S-3 with developing the information collection matrix by recommending methods or assets to task for
  collection. The BCT S-2 identifies intelligence assets and resources that can provide answers to the CCIRs,
  including HUMINT, geospatial intelligence, measurement and signature intelligence, and SIGINT.
  3-120. The intelligence cell manages intelligence operations to support the overall unit mission. The staff
  weather office provides planning expertise on weather conditions and effects for friendly and enemy forces
  to inform FFIRs. The staff weather office assists with the planning and execution of air, ground, and space
  operations and provides services in accordance with responsibilities outlined in AR 115-10.
  3-121. The BCT S-3 is the primary information collection tasking and directing staff officer within the unit,
  tasking the organic and assigned assets for execution. Before publishing the information collection plan, the
  S-3 coordinates with other command post staff to ensure synchronization with the other elements of the
  OPORD. The operations and intelligence working group is represented by the following:
  * Assistant brigade engineer.
  * Air defense airspace management representative.
  * Aviation officer.
  * Air liaison officer.
  * Military intelligence company commander.
  * Cavalry squadron S-3.
  * Cavalry squadron S-2.

  3-122. The operations and intelligence working group directly supports the commander with executing
  command and control of reconnaissance and security operations by performing four primary command and
  control warfighting function tasks listed below (refer to ADP 6-0 for more information):
  * Command forces.
