  G-2/J-2 and G-3/J-3 must perform these critical functions, along with all other operations and
  sustainment support.
  DETACHMENT
  2-4. A LRSD deploys to an operational area as part of a larger unit, normally the LRSC, because it
  lacks the ability to plan and execute missions, or to sustain itself. A LRSD can be attached or OPCON to
  almost any type of larger unit, and can be doctrinally employed, if the unit provides intelligence, planning,
  insertion, extraction, and sustainment support.
  BFSB STAFF
  2-5. The BFSB has three staff sections, which the LRSU primarily interacts with and depends on for
  planning and support: S-2, S-3 and the S-4.
  S-2 SECTION
  2-6. The BFSB S-2 section coordinates IPB for staff planning, decision making, and targeting. They
  support the commander's and staff’s planning portion of the military decision-making process (MDMP).
  To answer the commanders’ priority intelligence requirement (PIR) and other intelligence requirements,
  the S-2 section processes and analyzes all information it collects, and then produces and disseminates
  timely, relevant, and accurate intelligence. The S-2 also monitors the current threat situation and any
  environmental factors that might influence friendly or enemy courses of action. The following elements in
  the BFSB S-2 each provide specific products and services in support of LRS operations:
  ISR Fusion Element
  2-7. The BFSB ISR fusion element conducts all-source analysis and integrates (fuses) current
  intelligence. Working under the supervision of the S-2, the ISR fusion element develops and maintains an
  intelligence database consisting of all unprocessed information and other intelligence products. The ISR
  fusion element keeps the commander and staff situationally aware, and provides intelligence to exploit
  enemy weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
  Functions
  2-8. The ISR fusion element—
  • Produces the IPB and mission support products.
  • Develops intelligence estimates.
  • Analyzes the battlefield area.
  • Develops situational and targeting data to support maneuver and fires.
  • Prepares combat assessments.
  Products
  2-9. The ISR fusion element produces—
  • Target information as part of the LRS team MPF.
  • Country studies.
  • Imagery.
  • Threat data (objective, capabilities, composition, and disposition).
  • Threat templates.
  • Situational templates.
  • Event templates.
  • Modified combined obstacle overlays (MCOO) in coordination with the geospatial information
  and services (GI&S) section.
  • Environmental data, for example, edible plants and indigenous animals.
  • Solar and lunar data in coordination with the combat weather team.
