Premise The Brigade Combat Teams ability to
request, integrate, and process Joint and organic
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
data into actionable information to support
decision making can be enhanced. Question 1
Did Joint intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance support provide the information
required for the decide, detect, deliver, and
assess process at the Brigade and Battalion
Tactical Operations Center? Question 2 Did the
command and control nodes at the Brigade and
Battalion Tactical Operations Center effectively
apply Joint intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance to the decide, detect, deliver,
and assess process?

ISR Support to Maneuver
Prepare

• Begin implementation of the ISR plan
• Conduct rehearsal
• Identify Joint and organic ISR assets
• Verify areas of responsibility
• Determine impacts of assets in zonee.g.,
  airspace and no fire areas
• Identify ISR shortfalls
• Modify plan
• Update Intel synch matrix

Plan
IPB provides basis for ISR plan

• Develop ISR plan
• Develop PIR/IR
• Develop SIR to answer PIR/IR
• Issue WARNOs
• Mission
• Commanders intent
• Objectives
• CCIR
• Focus, tempo, engagement criteria
• Specified tasks
• Verify plan includes all available Joint and
  organic assets
• Verify ISR tasking matrix completed
• Verify enemy situation template complete
• Manage Intel requirements
• Anticipate, develop, analyze, verify, prioritize
• Request information/assets from
• Joint assets
• Higher echelons
• Adjacent units

Execute

• Receive ISR information
• Verify ISR information is valid and current
• Verify information used as appropriate
  (D3A)e.g., targeting and SA
• Share information vertically/horizontally
• Evaluate effectiveness of ISR effort
• Modify ISR plan as needed

Premise The brigade combat teams ability to
request, integrate, and process Joint and organic
ISR data into actionable information to support
decision making can be enhanced. Question 1
Did Joint ISR support provide the information
required for the D3A process at the BDE and BN
TOC? Question 2 Did the command and control
nodes at the BDE and BN TOC effectively apply
Joint ISR to the D3A process?
