text: Brigade Targeting
  * Managing brigade targeting and facilitating the coordination board.
  * Coordinating clearance for attacks against targets (clearance of fires).
  * Coordinating assessment.
  3-21. The lethal and nonlethal effects elements prepare recommendations for the brigade targeting working
  group sessions and implement the resulting decisions. Leveraging the reconnaissance and surveillance assets
  available to the main command post, the elements plan and synchronize the fires and nonlethal effects of
  brigade operations.
  BATTALION FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT
  3-22. The FS organizations in the maneuver BNs and the reconnaissance squadron support their respective
  commanders but work closely with the brigade FSE. Lacking the capacity to conduct an independent
  targeting cycle, BNs must integrate and synchronize efforts with the brigade targeting team.
  3-23. The maneuver BNs and the reconnaissance squadron are each supported by a FSE, and each may have
  an Air Force tactical air control party. The FS teams participate in targeting by nominating and refining
  targets. For more information of FS teams see ATP 3-09.30 and FM 3-09.
  BRIGADE INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT
  3-24. Intelligence support to the BCT is provided by the organic intelligence cell and military intelligence
  company. The intelligence cell, augmented with components from the military intelligence company,
  provides timely, relevant, accurate, and synchronized intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support
  (to include target development, target detection, and combat assessment) to the BCT commander, staff, and
  subordinate units. Most intelligence personnel in a BCT are assigned to the military intelligence company
  but work under the direction of the brigade S-2 during operations. The BCT military intelligence company
  comprises a brigade intelligence support element, an information collection platoon, an Air Force staff
  weather officer, an EW platoon, and a tactical unmanned aircraft systems (TUAS) platoon. The military
  intelligence company commander provides command, control, and coordination of the TUAS platoon and
  the EW platoon, which integrates signals intelligence (SIGINT) and EW capabilities and target threat
  electronic capabilities to support the friendly scheme of maneuver.
  3-25. The brigade intelligence support element conducts analysis, target development, and proposes HVTs.
  The element supports development of the brigade level collection plan in support of targeting efforts,
  integrates the intelligence architecture to support targeting priorities, and assists the BCT S-2 with
  intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance synchronization and collection management tasks.
  3-26. The Information Collection Platoon conducts multiple discipline intelligence collection: SIGINT
  collection in support of EW and targeting, human intelligence (HUMINT) collection in support of detainee
  operations and technical control of HUMINT (Operations Management Team) and SIGINT/EW (Technical
  Control and Analysis Cell). The Technical Control and Analysis Cell creates target intelligence folders for
  SIGINT collection missions and recommends targets for action to the commander. The cell's SIGINT
  collection teams provide SIGINT collection, exploitation, and limited analysis to detect, track, and locate
  targets.
  3-27. The EW platoon supports information collection efforts, survey of the electromagnetic spectrum,
  integration, and multisource analysis by providing warnings and indications, radio frequency direction
  finding and geolocation of threat emissions. The EW Platoon's electronic support tasks include
  electromagnetic reconnaissance, threat warning, and direction finding.
  3-28. The TUAS platoon conducts maintenance and flight operations to ensure availability of the brigades
  deepest looking organic collection asset. Flight operations require coordination with both the brigade
  aviation element for friendly airspace considerations, and the brigade intelligence support element for enemy
  threats to their systems and development of a flight plan in support of their collection tasks. The TUAS
  platoon also provides initial tactical identification of enemy vehicles in support of targeting.
  3-29. The staff weather officer is responsible for the weather forecast to include light weather data for the
  next three to four targeting cycles and its impacts to both friendly and enemy operations.
