  foreign law enforcement authorities, with prior approval of the J2X.
  Under no circumstances will HUMINT collectors assist any US or
  foreign law enforcement authorities in any manner without prior
  approval by competent authority after a legal review of the proposal.
  • Maneuver Units: HCTs may be utilized in GS for coverage of an
  AOIR or in DS to support a specific maneuver unit. The type of
  coordination needed with maneuver units will vary depending on the
  type of support relationship the HCT has. HCTs operating in GS
  should coordinate with maneuver unit commanders when the HCT will
  be operating in that unit’s AO. At a minimum, the HCTs should
  announce their presence and request information on any conditions or
  ongoing situations that may affect on the conduct of their mission. An
  HCT operating in DS of a specific unit will coordinate with the unit for
  force augmentation to HUMINT patrols as needed in accordance with
  force protection requirements. The HCT leader should also coordinate
  with the supported unit’s S2 for involvement in debriefings of
  returning patrol members, checkpoint personnel, convoy leaders and
  others. HCT leaders may also coordinate to be included in the unit’s
  reconnaissance patrols, as appropriate.
  • Combat Service Support Units: Current and future combat
  operations will be conducted in a noncontiguous battlespace. CSS
  formations and units may be an excellent source for HUMINT
  collectors. In many situations, DPs and refugees will perceive CSS
  activities as non-threatening and an activity which can provide them
  with aid and comfort. CSS operations will naturally draw DPs and
  refugees hoping to receive support. This could provide opportunities for
  HUMINT collectors to access this sector of the population. CSS unit
  S2s should conduct patrol debriefings of returning convoy personnel to
  capture observations made during convoys, with the goal of cross-
  cueing the supporting HCT, CI team, or law enforcement element as
  appropriate.
  STAFF COORDINATION
  4-59. Successful HUMINT collection operations require support from the
  staff elements of the supported unit. These elements are collectively
  responsible for the planning that results in HUMINT tasking. Below is a
  partial list of the staff responsibilities that affect HUMINT collection:
  • G1/S1 HUMINT-related responsibilities include but are not limited
  to—
   Supervising the medical support furnished to EPW/detainees.
   Maintaining a list (by language and proficiency) of qualified
  linguists within their command.
   Coordinating with the G4 or G5 for procurement and payment of
  other interpreters and translators needed to perform intelligence
  and non-intelligence duties.
   Ensuring the echelon's OPLAN contains complete provisions for
  handling and evacuating detainees, refugees, DPs, and local civilians
