  BCT RECONNAISSANCE AND COLLECTION TEAMING
  1-60. BCT reconnaissance and collection teaming is the pairing of collection assets to conduct integrated
  reconnaissance and security operations to answer CCIRs. Commanders do not keep their reconnaissance and
  information collection assets in reserve. The commander forms reconnaissance and collection teams to
  complement reconnaissance and intelligence collection capabilities. These teams consist of appropriate
  combinations of Cavalry Soldiers and multidiscipline intelligence Soldiers.
  1-61. The BCT’s military intelligence company provides multidiscipline intelligence operations.
  Multidiscipline intelligence operations include limited signals intelligence (SIGINT), electromagnetic
  warfare, interrogation of prisoners of war, multidisciplinary counterintelligence, tactical human intelligence
  (HUMINT), and air reconnaissance from tactical unmanned aircraft systems (known as TUASs). BCT
  commanders build reconnaissance and collection teams to execute offensive, defensive, and stability tasks.
  1-62. The BCT’s organic military intelligence company can be used to augment the Cavalry squadron based
  on mission variables and PIRs. They operate together to secure collection assets and provide the appropriate
  combat information and intelligence necessary to answer the PIRs of the supported commander. These
  brigade reconnaissance, collection, and security teams provide the supported commander with the ability to
  separate combatants from noncombatants more effectively under conditions of uncertainty.
  1-63. The military intelligence company includes multifunctional teams comprised of all sources of
  HUMINT and SIGINT disciplines, HUMINT collection teams, counterintelligence teams, SIGINT platoons,
  and operational management teams that coordinate the various team missions. (Refer to ATP 2-19.4 for more
  information.) BCT commanders can augment the squadron to ensure they have secure access to the local
  population, which is essential for military intelligence discipline collection tasks by the brigade.
