  1-22. Network extension platoons’resourcesto provide connectivity to their assigned CPsand consist of a
  Joint Network Node/Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical Terminal team,a high capacity line of sight
  section,and a RETRANS team. The Joint Network Node/Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical Terminal
  team provides network equipment that enables CPs to use lineofsight or beyond-lineofsight systems. Joint
  network node equipment provides the connectivity to the DODIN-Asatellite and terrestrial network transport
  systems. The Joint Network Node system connects BCT CPs, brigade support areas, higher headquarters,
  Army forces, and joint task forces. Each system maintains the interface capability to terminate network
  circuits,provide data and battlefield video teleconference services,and interface with special circuits (such
  as the Defense Switched Network). The Joint Network Node system provides network planning and
  monitoring for the BCT wide-area network. The Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical Terminal
  provides an alternate protected satellite communications connection,the DODIN-A. The network extension
  section has traditional RETRANS teams and gateway systems for enhanced position location and reporting
  system units.RETRANS teams are managed by the BCT S-3,with S-6 coordination,to ensure specific BCT
  and subordinate frequencies have coverage and are adjusted as operations changes with expanding or
  collapsing terrain. Alternate RETRANS options include three specific frequencies uploaded into the TUAS
  located within the military intelligence company of the BEB.
  Note. The Department of Defense information network (DODIN) operations section is located
  within the BCT headquarters and headquarters company signal platoon,under the control of the
  BCT S-6. The DODIN operations section and the signal company of the BEB are the critical
  command and control systemsduring distributed operations within the BCT.
  1-23. Usually,one network-extension support platoon locates at the BCT main CP.The other platoonlocates
  in an area where best aligned to support the BCT tactical CP (when established) or at the BEB or BSB main
  CP. The users supported by the BCT signal company use Army command and control software and hardware
  capabilities to collaborate,decide,and lead the BCT’s operations. (SeeFM 6-02 for additional information.)
  1-24. The military intelligence company mission is to conduct analysis, full motion video, signals
  intelligence,geospatial intelligence,and human intelligence(HUMINT)activities. The militaryintelligence
  company must task organize with the BCT intelligence cell to form the brigade intelligence support element.
  The military intelligence company must frequently task organize its collection platoons based on the mission.
  Personnel from the military intelligence company maintain the threat portion of the common operational
  picture (COP [see paragraph 2-27]); integrate intelligence operations as part of the information collection
  effort (see chapter 5);and execute signalsintelligence,HUMINT,and geospatial intelligence. The military
  intelligence company has a headquarters section, an information collection platoon, an intelligence and
  electromagneticwarfare(EW)systems integration (maintenance section),a TUAS platoon,multifunctional
  platoon (flexible design-signals intelligence, HUMINT, and site exploitation task capable), and an United
  States Air Force weather team (see figure 1-7 on page 1-10). Intelligence operations, conducted by the
  military intelligence company,collect information about the intent,activities,and capabilities of threats and
  relevant aspects of the operational environment to support the BCT commanders’ decision-making across
  the range of military operations. The military intelligence company provides analysis and intelligence
  production support to the BCT S-2 and supports the BCT and its subordinate commands through collection,
  analysis,and dissemination of information and intelligence. (SeeATP 2-19.4 for additional information.)
  Note.The military intelligence company (K series) within the BCT distributes intelligence support
  teams regardless of which element of decisive action (offense, defense, or stability) currently
  dominates. The BCT can employ anywhere from two intelligence analysts, for example to a
  maneuver company, or a large team of intelligence analysts as an intelligence support team to
  support, based on the situation, an Infantry battalion, BEB, field artillery battalion, Cavalry
  squadron, BSB, or to further augment the BCT intelligence cell or brigade intelligence support
  element (see chapter 4).
