  • Security Requirements. Security requirements include ensuring that
  the personnel dealing with the documents have the appropriate
  security level and that they do not pose a security risk to the US. This
  is particularly important when dealing with non-US translators.
  Security also evolves ensuring that the documents are marked in
  accordance with regulation and that proper security measures are in
  place to prevent compromise of information. At higher echelons,
  dealing with large numbers of non-US translators normally requires a
  designated CI team conducting recurring personnel security
  evaluations.
  • Translation. This function involves the directed translation of
  documents from the target language to English. It requires personnel
  with the appropriate clearance level who have a working idiomatic
  knowledge of the target language and English. Higher echelon
  activities, such as the EAC document repository, group their
  translation efforts by subject area. For example, one person or group
  could translate all medical-related documents. At lower echelons, the
  translators require a more general knowledge. At lower echelons, the
  same person may translate a document, extract the pertinent
  information, and report that information. At higher echelons, these are
  often separate functions.
  • Exploitation and Reporting. This task is the identification and
  extraction of information in response to collection requirements and
  requires a high level of expertise. The individual must be totally
  knowledgeable of collection requirements and must be able to readily
  identify indicators of activity or identify the significance of minute
  pieces of information that could contribute to answering requirements.
  Reporting involves placing that extracted information into a coherent,
  properly formatted report so that the all-source analyst can add it to
  the intelligence picture.
  • Quality Control. This aspect includes ensuring that all aspects of the
  DOCEX operation⎯including accounting for, screening, translating,
  exploiting, and reporting––are functioning correctly.
  REPORTING
  I-49.Information collected from documents is normally reported in a
  SALUTE report or an IIR. Reporting through other reporting formats is
  discouraged. Intelligence reports are normally forwarded electronically or as
  otherwise directed by SOPs and operational instructions. Normally an
  electronic or hardcopy file of each report is maintained at the unit of origin;
  one electronic or hardcopy is submitted through intelligence reporting
  channels; and one is forwarded with evacuated documents to the next unit to
  receive the document to prevent redundant reporting. In the event that the
  document itself cannot be evacuated in a timely manner, a verified copy of a
  translation report can be forwarded separately from the original document to
  an exploitation agency.
