  ⚫ The USAR, including the MIRC and the MIB-T’s USAR theater support battalion.
  ⚫ The ARNG’s 300th MI Brigade (Linguist), which provides language and intelligence support to
  the Army by mobilizing and deploying elements from its battalions.
  ⚫ INSCOM, to include reinforcing support beyond what the MIB-T provides (for example,
  intelligence discipline or all-source support from INSCOM’s functional brigades and groups).
  7-46. MIB-Ts conduct MI C2, single-source and all-source analysis, and intelligence collection, and they
  coordinate for reach PED as directed by the information collection plan. Additionally, MIB-Ts reach out to
  and coordinate with assigned units (theater-assigned, rotational, regionally aligned) and units apportioned
  against OPLANs (either temporarily or permanently) to their theaters’ mission, and then MIB-Ts begin the
  process of integrating MI Soldiers and capabilities into theater operations before deployment. This is
  accomplished through a standing memorandum of understanding between INSCOM and assigned units
  rotationally aligned to the specific theater. MIB-Ts also emphasize support to force protection and based on
  indications of how the theater is reacting to U.S. objectives.
  7-47. The MIB-T’s role in receiving deploying units includes ensuring these units can operate on theater-
  specific networks, such as the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS)
  and the United States Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System (US BICES), both of which
  are part of the mission partner environment. Furthermore, Army SIGINT activities, either through MIB-T
  SIGINT elements or by reach from the Army Technical Control and Analysis Element and the Army
  Cryptologic Office, can assist tactical SIGINT/EW units in accessing theater-specific databases and entering
  theater-specific SIGINT networks. Similarly, the theater J-2X provides guidance on integrating deploying CI
  and HUMINT forces.
  Note. US BICES is an intelligence system that is the U.S. gateway to the 28-member nation
  battlefield information collection and exploitation system (also called BICES).
  7-48. The theater army G-2, through the MIB-T, fulfills an important role in theater through CI and HUMINT
  operations. CI capabilities are integral to force protection operations OCONUS. Army forces permanently
  stationed OCONUS, such as those in the Republic of Korea and Europe, face a high threat from foreign
  intelligence entities; CI forces mitigate this threat.
  CRISIS
  7-49. The theater army intelligence effort during crisis focuses on—
  ⚫ Maintaining situational awareness across the theater.
  ⚫ MI force tailoring.
  ⚫ Monitoring events that may cause a noncombatant evacuation operation event.
  ⚫ Developing or revising the intelligence architecture.
  ⚫ Providing support to warning intelligence.
  ⚫ Providing support to information advantage.
  ⚫ Providing support to protection.
  ⚫ Providing continual support to target development.
  ⚫ Maintaining the intelligence portion of the COP.
  ⚫ Building and maintaining the CIP.
  ⚫ Participating in the joint collection management board (which enables the JFC’s decision
  making on the apportionment and allocation of ISR assets) and updating the information
  collection plan.
  ⚫ Updating the planning for theater openings, to include placing MI staffs and units on the TPFDL
  and planning the deployment of those MI units—especially the overarching planning for RSOI.
  ⚫ Maintaining, updating, and sharing all information, to include the enemy electromagnetic order of
  battle overlay, with deploying units to ensure a common and current understanding of the threat.
