  1-92. Obtainingaccurate combatidentification provides the abilityto differentiate among friendly, enemy,
  neutral and unknown personnel and objects. Combat identification is the process of attaining an accurate
  characterization of detected objects in the operational environment to support an engagement decision (JP
  3-09).
  1-93. To achieve surprise or strike a decisive blow, entry forces focus on identifying and defeating enemy
  area denial capabilities (mine development, emplacement and control network). Commanders must weigh

  1-94. Contingency response groups planners are integrated into the planning process as early as possible.
  Contingencyresponse groups provide the USAF first-responder airfield opening unit capabilityto the JFC
  regardlessof service or missionofthe field beingopened. Each contingencyresponse group canbe scaled

  1-95. Sustainment requirements can be formidable, but must not become such an overriding concern that
  the forcible entry operation itself is jeopardized. Commanders and staffs must carefully balance the
  introduction of sustainment forces needed to support initial combat with combat forces required to
  establish, maintain, and protect the lodgment as well as forces required to transition to follow-on
  operations.

  can strike directly at the enemy and can open new avenues for other military operations. The entry force

  operations,ifrequired.
  INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE,ANDRECONNAISSANCE
  1-97. Joint entry forces must operate a fully integrated and collaborative intelligence, surveillance, and
  reconnaissance enterprise that provides timely intelligence and counterintelligence to meet entry force
  requirements. This enterprise must be sustainable and remain responsive and adaptive, and capable of
  addressingnewchallengesandopportunitiesastheyemerge. (RefertoJP 2-01formoreinformation.)
  1-98. Entry forces have to fight for and collect information in close contact with the enemy and civilian
  populations through continuous physical reconnaissance, persistent surveillance, security operations, and
  intelligence operations: to develop the contextual understanding to counter enemy anti-access capabilities

  1-99. Human interaction on the ground must complement other intelligence to create contextual
  understanding of events on the ground. This aids in the abilityto locate, target, and suppress or neutralize
  hostile anti-access and area denial capabilities in complex terrain with lethal or nonlethal effects while
  limitingcollateraldamage.(RefertoFM 2-22.3formoreinformation.)
  1-100. Long-range surveillance and special operations forces support entry forces by conducting shaping
  operations in support of forcible entry operations, to include reconnaissance and surveillance and raids.
  Advanced force operations include strike operations, clandestine insertion of special operations forces and
  organic reconnaissance teams, deception, counter mine or counter obstacle operations, and information
  operations.(RefertoFM 3-55.93andATTP 3-18.04formoreinformation.)
