text: Force Projection Operations Considerations
  C-17. During mobilization, intelligence leaders—
  ⚫ Monitor intelligence reporting on threat activity, civil considerations, and warning data.
  ⚫ Manage information requirements and RFIs from the unit and subordinate units, to include
  updating information collection planning.
  ⚫ Establish habitual training relationships with augmentation units and personnel as well as higher
  echelon intelligence organizations identified in the existing OPLAN.
  ⚫ Support augmentation units and personnel by preparing and conducting intelligence training and
  threat update briefings and by disseminating intelligence.
  ⚫ Identify information collection and intelligence PED force requirements for the different types of
  operations and contingency plans.
  ⚫ Identify individual military, civilian, and contractor augmentation requirements.
  C-18. During mobilization, intelligence leaders, in conjunction with the rest of the staff, ensure the adequate
  equipping and training of MI organizations and individual augmentees that conduct intelligence operations.
  Predictive intelligence supports the decisions the commander and staff make regarding the size, composition,
  structure, and deployment sequence of the force.
  C-19. In a force projection operation, higher echelons provide intelligence for situation and target
  development to lower echelons until the tactical ground force completes entry and secures the lodgment area.
  The higher headquarters intelligence section may be reluctant to push everything down through tactical-level
  intelligence channels due to the volume of the intelligence information available. Intelligence analysis
  systems provide the BCT S-2 access to theater and national databases with the ability to collaborate with
  knowledge centers. Intelligence readiness training assists in ensuring intelligence professionals and assets
  can meet the unit’s needs during operations. The G-2/S-2 must anticipate, identify, consider, and evaluate all
  potential threats to the entire unit throughout force projection operations.
  C-20. Throughout mobilization, unit intelligence activities provide deploying forces with the most recent
  intelligence on the contingency area. The intelligence staff also updates databases and situation graphics.
  Intelligence leaders—
  ⚫ Fully understand the unit, higher headquarters, and joint force intelligence organizations.
  ⚫ Revise intelligence and intelligence-related communications architectures and integrate any new
  systems and software into current architectures.
  ⚫ Support 24-hour operations and provide continuous intelligence (to include terrain and weather)
  support.
  ⚫ Plan all required intelligence reach procedures.
  ⚫ Determine transportation availability for deployment as well as during deployment.
  ⚫ Determine all sustainability requirements.
  ⚫ Determine intelligence release requirements and restrictions and releasability to multinational
  and host-nation sources.
  ⚫ Review status-of-forces agreements, rules of engagement, international law, intelligence sharing
  agreements, and other agreements, emphasizing the effect they have on intelligence collection.
  (Coordinate with the staff judge advocate on these issues.)
  ⚫ Ensure deployment priorities for the collection assets and sensors along with the required
  intelligence PED personnel are reflected in the TPFDD to support information collection
  activities.
  ⚫ Ensure intelligence links provide the early-entry commander access to joint and Army all-source
  intelligence and collection assets, processing systems, and databases.
  ⚫ Review the supported unit commander’s specified tasks, implied tasks, task organization,
  intelligence scheme of support, and coordination requirements. Address issues or shortfalls and
  direct or coordinate changes.
  ⚫ Establish access to national databases and repositories for each intelligence discipline and
  complementary capability, as well as links to joint, Service, multinational, and host-nation
  databases and repositories.
