  MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIGADE-THEATER
  7-34. MIB-Ts are assigned to combatant commands and may be OPCON or TACON to the theater army by
  the CCDR. Both the MIB-T commander and the G-2 use a memorandum of understanding to identify
  OPCON, TACON, or ADCON responsibilities. As the theater army’s permanently assigned ground
  intelligence organization, the MIB-T can deploy scalable and tailorable intelligence capabilities to meet
  combatant command, ASCC, and JTF intelligence requirements. However, it is likely that MIB-Ts will be
  OPCON to the theater army; therefore, this publication discusses MIB-Ts as OPCON to the theater army.
  (See ATP 2-19.1-2.)
  7-35. MIB-Ts—
  ⚫ Provide regionally focused collection and analysis to support theater army daily operation
  requirements and specific joint operations in the AOR.
  ⚫ Provide the theater army with its foundational capabilities to set the theater for the intelligence
  warfighting function. As such, MIB-Ts serve as theater-level intelligence focal points through
  the theater army G-2 for deploying forces.
  ⚫ As focal points, provide intelligence system and intelligence personnel support related to
  combatant command specific OEs.
  ⚫ Provide expertise on joint ISR and Army information collection, intelligence resources, cultural
  knowledge of the theater, and the threat, as well as access to theater and national intelligence
  architectures and data that support intelligence operations.
  ⚫ Perform important tasks to support the theater army G-2’s effort in opening the theater.
  ⚫ Assist the E-MIB with RSOI, when needed.
  ⚫ Provide overarching planning for the RSOI of subsequent MI units.
  SUPPORT AND ENABLING SERVICES
  7-36. Deployed MIB-T forces leverage secure communications networks to access nondeployed MIB-T,
  higher-echelon Army, joint, and U.S. IC capabilities through intelligence reach. MIB-Ts can provide or
  coordinate the following support and enabling services to ground forces deploying to, operating in, or
  otherwise supporting the theater:
  ⚫ Intelligence:
  ▪ Intelligence assessments.
  ▪ COPs, CIPs, and intelligence graphic products.
  ▪ Persistent intelligence overwatch (for example cultural, language, area subject matter experts).
  ▪ Federated intelligence production and coordination on behalf of the ASCC G-2.
  ⚫ Integration:
  ▪ Information technology integration.
  ▪ Data services (COPs, CIPs, and intelligence pictures; theater geospatial database; data
  sharing; access to the combatant command’s distributed integrated backbone [also called
  DIB]; knowledge management; and the USAF Weather Virtual Private Cloud).
  ▪ Data ingest services (data push and pull, data formatting, and the intelligence analysis
  systems-to-C2 systems population).
  ▪ Architecture management services (Secret, sensitive compartmented information, and
  multinational communications networks; regionally aligned forces intelligence analysis system
  connectivity; standard and shareable geospatial foundation, theater geospatial database, and
  geospatial data and information across all network classification domains; and data routing
  services provided or coordinated by Ground Intelligence Support Activity information
  technology operations).
  ⚫ Training: Live environment training, mobile training teams, and subject matter expertise.
