  that need to be collected and processed in order to meet the intelligence requirements of a commander
  (JP2-0)—tied to the execution of tactical missions (normally reconnaissance, security operations, and
  surveillance). The squadron’s information collection effort answers the commander’s priority intelligence
  requirements. Information acquired during collection activities about the threat and the area of interest allows
  the IBCT commander to focus combat power,execute current operations,and prepare for future operations
  simultaneously.
  1-11. The Cavalry squadron (see figure 1-3) has four troops: a headquarters and headquarters troop, two
  mounted Cavalry troops, and one dismounted Cavalry troop. (See ATP 3-20.96.) The headquarters troop
  organization includes a command section, the troop headquarters section, the squadron primary staff, a
  medical section, a sniper section,a retransmission (known as RETRANS)section,an attached fire support
  cell,and a tactical air control party(TACP). The two mounted Cavalry troops (three scout platoons each) are
  equipped with wheeled vehicles(each with a crew and scout team for dismounted operations),tube launched,
  optically tracked, wire guided/wireless guided Improved Target Acquisition Systems, the Long-Range
  Advance Scout Surveillance Systems,a mortar section(120-mm trailer towed),and a Raven UAS team. The
  dismounted Cavalry troop (two dismounted scout platoons each) enables dismounted infiltration and
  rotary-wing aircraft insertion and has a mortar section(60-mm ground mounted),a Raven UAS team,and a
  sniper squad. Habitual attachments to the Cavalry troop include a fire support team at the troop level and
  forward observer teams at the platoon level, medics assigned to each platoon, and a senior medic at the troop
  level. (See ATP 3-20.97 and ATP3-20.98.) The squadron receives an FSC for sustainment purposes (see
  chapter 9),normally in a direct support relationship.

  platoons. The field artillery battalion provides massing fires in space and time on single or multiple targets
  with precision,near precision,and area fires to support IBCT operations. The IBCT field artillery battalion
