text: Echelons Above Brigade Considerations
  * UASs. dependent on unit capabilities, speed required, number and types of NAIs or
  reconnaissance objectives, and terrain.
  * Mobility.
   Engineer reconnaissance capabilities: dependent on the information requirement detail and
  breadth of area reconnoitered; detail of infrastructure required.
   Engineer mobility capabilities: dependent on obstacles anticipated and the requirement to
  breach; types and number of gaps anticipated and required to cross.
  * Countermobility. Capabilities: dependent on time available and whether it is a stationary or
  moving operation; capacity of organic capabilities; obstacle intended affect against enemy
  reconnaissance or maneuver capabilities.
  * Indirect fires.
   Planning: planning considerations for task organizing capabilities to support the
  reconnaissance and security TF with indirect fire support, target acquisition, mobility, and
  survivability.
   Supporting reconnaissance: dependent on organic capabilities; anticipated enemy and the
  need to fight for information; distance from the main body or supporting fires capabilities.
  The division may task a BCT to provide additional artillery support to the reconnaissance and
  security BCT or Cavalry squadron through augmentation of, at a minimum, a field artillery
  battery. The corps and division may also allocate other supporting lethal and nonlethal fires
  including joint fires, such as close air support, electromagnetic attack capabilities, or offensive
  cyberspace operations.
   Supporting security: dependent on organic capabilities; anticipated enemy; requirement to
  defeat, delay, and attrit enemy reconnaissance or maneuver capabilities; distance from the
  main body or supporting fires capabilities.
   Indirect fires radar capabilities: dependent on other units’ ability to provide radar coverage;
  distance from main body.
  * Intelligence.
   SIGINT capabilities: dependent on the requirement to collect on specific aspects of enemy
  communications; distance from the main body and capabilities of SIGINT assets; site
  exploitation requirements.
   HUMINT capabilities: dependent on time available to collect; specific information required;
  site exploitation requirements. The theater or corps may task-organize HUMINT capabilities
  to provide interrogation capabilities down to the brigade.
   Geospatial intelligence capabilities: dependent on time and UAS assets available to collect
  specific information required.
  * Protection.
   Air defense capabilities: dependent on the air threats and ability of other ADA units to provide
  coverage. The division can attach or provide as direct support, mobile short-range air defense
  capabilities to counter enemy aerial threats, such as fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The
  division may task-organize additional capabilities as operational control, tactical control, or
  in a supporting role. These may include radars, counter-UAS, counter-air, or counter-rocket,
  artillery, and mortar capabilities.
   Survivability capabilities: dependent on the volume of hardening of command-and-control
  facilities and other critical infrastructure. potential for the employment of CBRN threats and
  hazards requiring increased standoff predetonation layers. Examples are enhanced personal
  protective equipment and posture, such as applying reactive armor to vehicles, sapi plates to
  fragmentation vests, and mission-orientated protective posture improvements.
   CBRN reconnaissance and decontamination capabilities: dependent on the division receiving
  CBRN reconnaissance capabilities to its forces. In some cases, the division may task organize
  a hazard response company to the BCT or Cavalry squadron to provide decontamination and
  additional CBRN reconnaissance capabilities.
