  conducting collection missions. Planning must take into account that
  technical control does not interfere with or supersede any C2 that a
  commander has over an asset or unit nor does it interfere with collection of
  the commander's requirements. For HUMINT collectors, the technical control
  network includes the C/J/G/S2X, the HOC, and OMTs. Technical control
  includes the management of source and other sensitive data and databases,
  the management of intelligence contingency and incentive funds, the liaison
  with other HUMINT organizations, and the deconfliction of operations.
  Technical control provides HCTs with specific requirements and data that
  they need to conduct operations and, in certain circumstances, specific
  instructions on how to execute missions.
  PREPARE
  4-5. During this phase, commanders and staff, including HUMINT
  management sections, review HUMINT mission plans. This review is to
  ensure all areas of the mission are considered and addressed in the plan and
  included in rehearsals. Items to cover include but are not limited to⎯
  • Route (primary and alternate).
  • Communications.
  • Security plan.
  • Convoy procedures including actions on contact and rally points.
  • Initial requirements to be covered.
  • Mission duration.
  4-6. The HUMINT collector then researches the topic area addressing the
  requirement and prepares a questioning plan. The HCTs and OMTs must
  coordinate all mission requirements. It is important that HUMINT elements
  are included in all rehearsals conducted by their supported unit. These
  rehearsals will enable HCTs to carry out essential coordination with other
  units and ensure that they are included in and familiar with procedures such
  as resupply, communications, casualty evacuation, fire support, and
  fratricide avoidance. Rehearsals and briefbacks will allow the supported
  command to see and correct problems with their support to the HUMINT
  elements prior to deployment.
  EXECUTE
  4-7. Mission execution consists of the collection of information in accordance
  with the integrated ISR plan. The requirements manager validates the
  requirements based on command guidance. The G3 tasks the requirements to
  the units and the individual asset managers (that is, OMT) to identify the
  assets best capable to answer the requirement. When requirements are
  levied against a specific HCT, the HCT leader decides which of his team’s
  contacts can best answer the requirements. He then turns the requirement
  into specific team tasks.
  ASSESS
  4-8. Assessment is the continuous monitoring––throughout planning,
  preparation, and execution—of the current situation and progress of an
