text: Force Projection Operations Considerations
  C-27. Liaison personnel, basic communications, and an initial intelligence architecture should be in place
  before the scheduled arrival of parent commands. When the senior Army headquarters arrives in the
  operational area, the joint force intelligence staff implements and, where necessary, modifies the theater
  intelligence architecture. Deploying intelligence assets establish liaison with staffs and deployed units. As
  more units deploy and complete RSOI, the amount of information collection units increases.
  C-28. Installations in the United States and its territories and other bases outside the operational area continue
  to support deployed units. Systems capable of rapid receipt and processing of intelligence from national
  systems and high-capacity, long-haul communications systems are critical to the success of intelligence reach
  and overwatch to a deployed force. These systems provide a continuous flow of intelligence to satisfy many
  operational needs.
  C-29. During entry operations the intelligence staff—
  ⚫ Monitors protection indicators.
  ⚫ Assesses the information collection effort.
  ⚫ Monitors intelligence reporting on threats and civil considerations.
  ⚫ Assesses—
  ▪ Push versus pull requirements of intelligence reach and overwatch.
  ▪ The effectiveness of the intelligence communications architecture.
  ▪ Reporting procedures and timelines.
  EMPLOYMENT
  C-30. Employment is the strategic, operational, and tactical use of forces (JP 5-0). Intelligence and
  information collection support operations by understanding and answering the commander’s requirements.
  They focus primarily on supporting the commander’s situational understanding, targeting, and protection
  requirements. Good planning and preparation can ensure a smooth transition from deployment to
  employment and from employment through sustainment to redeployment.
  SUSTAINMENT
  C-31. Sustainment is the provision of logistics, financial management, personnel services, and health services
  support necessary to maintain operations until successful mission completion (ADP 4-0). The intelligence
  warfighting function must both support friendly force sustainment, which is often vulnerable to threat attack,
  and sustain intelligence support and intelligence operations. Supporting sustainment is similar to supporting
  other force projection subprocesses and is discussed in other portions of this publication. Sustaining
  intelligence support and intelligence operations is broad and can be complex. Aspects of sustaining
  intelligence can include—
  ⚫ IEW collection systems maintenance.
  ⚫ Intelligence architecture and PED maintenance and logistics.
  ⚫ Providing and maintaining the appropriate numbers and skill levels of intelligence professionals,
  in many situations, low-density specialties.
  ⚫ Contract support (including linguists).
  ⚫ Port, railhead, airhead, or transshipment operations.
  ⚫ Convoy operations and resupply of the different classes of supply.
  ⚫ Medical support and casualty evacuation.
  ⚫ Mortuary affairs.
  REDEPLOYMENT
  C-32. Redeployment is the transfer of forces and materiel to home and/or demobilization stations for
  reintegration or out-processing (ATP 3-35). This definition differs from the joint definition. As with
  deployment, there is a requirement to conduct an intelligence transition from the redeploying unit to the
  deploying unit. A well-prepared intelligence transition ensures a smooth and seamless transition between units.
