  ride” mission handover period once the individuals or unit arrives in
  the theater of operations.
  • Command and Control: If the RC augmentation requires activation of
  an entire unit, it should include their C2 element. If the augmentation
  is by individuals, then they will fall under the command and control of
  the gaining units.
  • Time on Active Status: USAR and ARNG soldiers are restricted as to
  the amount of time they can remain on active status. This timeline
  begins on the date of mobilization and ends on the day the soldier
  leaves active duty status. Deployed units must take this into account
  when conducting continuous operations and must identify the
  requirement to replace RC forces early enough to allow for the required
  training and handoff procedures.
  • Experience: While RC personnel normally lack current military
  experience, they often perform jobs in the civilian sector that either
  mitigate this lack of experience or they are able to bring a new and
  useful capability with them. Care should be taken that reservists who
  have civilian jobs which are similar to their HUMINT MOS (such as
  police officers or investigators) recognize the different constraints
  under which they operate in the military environment. For example,
  police officers who might normally task informants with minimal
  oversight cannot do that in their position as a HUMINT collector.
  Commanders should try to capitalize on these skills, but ensure proper
  training and understanding of the policies and regulations that govern
  HUMINT collection operations.
  OPERATIONS PLANS, OPERATIONS ORDERS, AND ANNEXES
  4-53. An OPLAN is any plan for the conduct of military operations. When a
  commander issues a directive for the coordinated execution of a military
  operation, it becomes an OPORD. Although plans are based on specific
  conditions or assumptions, they are not static. Plans are changed, refined,
  and updated as a result of continuous estimates and studies. It is critical to
  include HUMINT plans in the Intelligence Annex to the OPLAN.
  4-54. The OPORD gives the HUMINT element approval to execute its
  mission. OPORDs define the mission, set the parameters of operations,
  identify who is responsible for what, and how it is to be supported. Additions
  that are necessary to amplify an OPLAN or OPORD are contained in
  annexes, appendices, tabs, and enclosures. Tasking for units to conduct
  HUMINT collection operations is listed in the main body of the OPORD
  under Tasks to Subordinate Units. The HUMINT appendix to Annex B
  provides the technical guidance for HUMINT collection including the
  umbrella concept for HUMINT operations.
  4-55. The HUMINT appendices provide details on planning, coordinating,
  approving, and managing HUMINT operations as they relate to the unit’s
  overall mission. These appendices serve as the basic document authorizing
  most HUMINT operations and programs. They must be reviewed and
  approved by the appropriate office or commander. The HUMINT appendix to
  the ISR Annex is necessary to ensure that augmentation of HUMINT assets
