  COMPETITION
  7-69. During competition, corps, division, and brigade intelligence staffs focus primarily on planning along
  with individual, collective, and unit training and readiness. Echelons corps and below units participate in
  their assigned commands’ training events, including mission rehearsal exercises, mission readiness exercises,
  and combat training center rotations; they also participate in annual theater events when directed.
  Additionally, MI Soldiers within echelons corps and below units leverage the Army Foundry Intelligence
  Training Program as well as other training opportunities (for example, live environment training) to maintain
  perishable technical skills and enhance tactical and technical proficiency (see AR 350-32).
  7-70. Based on the time available, units may conduct certain theater-specific intelligence readiness training
  before deployment. This training is generally tasked through Army Forces Command orders based on theater
  guidance. It is often driven by material fielding to support the deployment but can include subjects such as
  threat awareness and theater reporting procedures. Once in theater, units, under the direction of theater
  representatives, may conduct additional intelligence training as part of the RSOI process.
  CRISIS
  7-71. During crisis, the corps headquarters may deploy into an operational area as a tactical headquarters
  with subordinate divisions and brigades. (See FM 3-0.) The corps headquarters is responsible for—
  ⚫ Understanding the threat.
  ⚫ Integrating information collection and intelligence analysis into the next higher echelon’s
  processes and systems.
  ⚫ Establishing liaison with its higher headquarters and planning reconnaissance of its initial
  assembly areas, routes, and forward assembly areas.
  ⚫ Assigning AOs to subordinate units.
  ⚫ Identifying multiple routes from the points of debarkation through assembly to staging areas.
  ⚫ Establishing an initial concept of operations.
  ⚫ Planning to consolidate gains.
  ⚫ Coordinating cyberspace attack mitigation, including distributed denial of service, malicious
  software, or system intrusion.
  ⚫ Planning and preparing for communications denial and degradation.
  ⚫ Planning for the dispersion of subordinate units along routes and within assembly areas.
