  1-25. The TUAS platoon,within the military intelligence company,provides the BCT commander with an
  organic aerial reconnaissance, surveillance, security, and communications relay capability. (See
  ATP3-04.64.) The TUAS platoon comprises of a mission planning and control section and a launch and
  recovery section and is equipped with four RQ-7 Shadow aircraft. TUAS platform and sensor payloads
  include electro-optical and infrared cameras. Onboard Global Positioning System(GPS)instruments provide
  navigational information. Sensor capabilities are based on a variety of factors, including altitude, field of
  view, depression angle, sensor payload, and standoff range. The air vehicle provides coverage for up to
  7hours at 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the launch and recovery site. The maximum range,which is limited
  by the data link capability, is 125 kilometers (78 miles). Imagery collection from the UAS platoon assists
  commanders and planners primarily by—
  (cid:122) Providing situational awareness of the terrain,both natural and manmade,to support the creation
  of products by the geospatial intelligence cell to support the staff’s conduct of intelligence
  preparation of the battlefield(IPB)via—
  (cid:131) Various baseline geospatial intelligence-based studies,such as helicopter landing zones.
  (cid:131) Port and airfield studies.
  (cid:131) Gridded reference graphics.
  (cid:122) Using imagery as a confirming source of intelligence for another intelligence discipline,such as
  signalsintelligence or HUMINT.
  (cid:122) Supporting the targeting effort,including information for combat assessment through the detection
  and tracking of targets before and after an attack.
  1-26. The CBRN reconnaissance and surveillance platoons that support the BCT are organized and equipped
  in two capability variations, a light platoon and a heavy platoon. The light platoon primarily conducts
  dismounted reconnaissance and surveillance using dismounted sets,kits,and outfits and up-armored vehicles.
  The platoon provides subject matter expertise on CBRN environments and is a force multiplier for
  survivability in dense urban terrain or subterranean environments. The heavy platoon conducts mounted
  reconnaissance using a CBRN reconnaissance vehicle. The platoon possesses the speed and protection to
  rapidly identify and mark routes and large areas while maintaining tempo with armored and mechanized
  forces. These two platoon variations primarily perform twoinformation collectiontasks (reconnaissanceand
  surveillance) directed at CBRN targets. (See ATP3-11.37 for additional information.) The CBRN
  reconnaissance platoons havethe following capabilities:
  (cid:122) Detect and provide field confirmatory identification of CBRN hazards.
  (cid:122) Locate,identify,mark,and report contaminated areas.
  (cid:122) Collect CBRN samples as required in the overall sample management plan and coordinate for
  sample evacuation.
  (cid:122) Assess and characterize hazards to confirm or deny the presence of CBRN material and in support
  of site exploitation.
  1-27. The BSB is the organic sustainment unit of the BCT. The BSB plans,prepares,executes,and assesses
  replenishment operations to support brigade operations. The BSB ensures the BCT can conduct self-sustained
