ACE ORGANIZATION

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

COLLECTION MANAGEMENTAND DISSEMINATION (CM&D)

• Identifies what information must be collected and who collects it.• Provides timely and efficient tasking.• Answers the commanders PIR.

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

ALL SOURCE PRODUCTION SECTION (ASPS)

• Performs Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB)• Works with CM&D to develop SIRS and SORS.• Assists the G2 in developing the Intel Estimate Develops situation and targeting data• Provides demographics/area studies for Mission planning folders

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

ELECTRONIC WARFARE(EW)

• Recommends and explains how to use EW to support the division• Maintains a database of threat EW emitters• SIGINT processing and reporting• Primary SIGINT node at division Receives, processes and forwards SIGINT through the CM&D to ASPS and higher

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

COUNTERINTELLIGENCEANALYSIS SECTION (CIAS)

• Develops CI requirements• Co-located with the asps• CM&D tasks CI assets

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

OPERATIONS/OPSEC

• Works with G2• Performs OPSEC management functions• Implements commander’s OPSEC program OPSEC is EVERYONE’S responsibility

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

INTELLIGENCEREQUIREMENT (IR)

• Requirement for intelligence to fill a gap in the commanders knowledge and understanding of the situation• Reduce uncertainties on the battlefield• Two categories:

- PIR - Priority Intelligence Requirement- IR - Intelligence Requirement

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

PRIORITY INTELLIGENCEREQUIREMENT (PIR)

• Associated with a decision that will affect the overall success of the command’s mission• Only the commander designates• G2 recommends• PIR is usually in the form of a question• Information is needed to answer the PIR

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

EXAMPLE PIR

Will the 3rd Tank Division enter NAI 8 orNAI 9 NLT 291900lOCT00?

“Who, what, when and where”

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

SPECIFIC INFORMATIONREQUIREMENT (SIR)

• Information required to answer all or part Of a PIR/IR• Describes the information required, the location and time during which it can be Collected• Each IR/PIR usually generates sets of SIRS

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

EXAMPLE SIRs

Will more than 17 BRDM-2s subordinateto the 3rd Tank Division or its regimentspass through NAI 8 between 011000l-030400l?

Will more than 38 artillery weaponssubordinate to the 3rd Tank Divisionenter NAI 8 or NAI 9 between 011000l-020300l?

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

SPECIFIC ORDER ORREQUEST (SOR)

• Any order or request that generates planning and execution of a collection mission or analysis• SORS sent to subordinate units are orders• SORS sent to other commands are requests• Developed from detailed SIRS• Usually formed in SOR sets to answer one SOR

Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course

EXAMPLE SORsSOR 1a. Report the presence of BRDMreconnaissance vehicles in NAI 8 orNAI 9 between 011000l-020300l (LTIOV:021000l).
