  Appendix C
  Pre-Deployment Planning
  HUMINT leaders must anticipate, identify, consider, and evaluate all
  potential threats. They must take advantage of enhanced information flow
  through hierarchical and nonhierarchical networks (computer,
  communications, and personnel). HCTs should––
  • Review available databases on assigned contingency AOIs; review
  existing IPB products, conduct IPB on these AOIs; and develop
  appropriate IPB products. Information on databases created for
  specific contingencies can be gotten from the J2X.
  • Continually monitor and update their OPLANs to reflect the evolving
  situation.
  • Be aware of higher headquarters SOPs and DIA manuals for specific
  ISR management guidance.
  • Prepare and practice an intelligence “surge” on likely contingency
  crises.
  • Prepare and practice coordination from pre-deployment through
  redeployment with personnel from HUMINT, IMINT, MASINT,
  SIGINT, CA, PSYOP, SOF units, MP, and Engineers.
  • Plan for requirements to support 24-hour operations: automation,
  communications capacity, and personnel necessary to provide
  continuous intelligence information collection and RM, processing, and
  reporting.
  • Plan and coordinate for linguistic support.
  • Forward all RFIs to higher headquarters in accordance with SOPs.
  • Prepare and practice coordination with units they will support during
  pre-deployment exercises. Liaison must be conducted with
  commanders, S2s, administrative support personnel, logistical support
  personnel, communications personnel, and others. Obtain supported
  unit’s briefing slide formats.
  • Obtain copies of the supported unit’s SOPs and ensure all team
  members are aware of the procedures governing HUMINT interface.
  • Ensure that team data processing equipment is compatible with the
  supported unit’s network structure and that appropriate interfaces are
  available.
  • Exercise unit deployment SOPs, load plans, and packing lists.
