  INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION CAPABILITIES
  7-131. Table 7-10 lists maneuver battalion-level intelligence capabilities. Organic BCT MI company
  intelligence assets may downward reinforce maneuver battalions or maneuver companies. Close coordination
  and an adequate lead time are required to ensure the effective flow of information and intelligence.
  Table 7-10. Battalion organic and supporting intelligence collection capabilities
  Battalion organic collection capabilities
  Small UASs and scout platoon1.
  Unmanned ground systems and snipers1.
  Battalion supporting collection capabilities
  May be augmented by the BCT MI company depending on the commander’s requirements and priorities. Possible augmentation includes
  1x SCT and 1x HCT.
  Note. The communications infrastructure, the threat, and the tempo may affect the ability to employ or emplace systems or sensors to their full
  potential.
  1 Small UASs, scout platoon, unmanned ground systems, and snipers (when in the MTOE, resourced, and equipped) are not intelligence systems,
  but they provide an important information collection capability.
