CI surveys, technical inspections, and preconstruction technical assistance.Conduct of inspections, security planning, the resolution of security problems, or development of classification guides.Advice and assistance can include but is not limited to They provide threat information and identify specific vulnerabilities to security beyond the capability of a security manager. Advice and assistance can help identify and neutralize threats to security from FIS or others who attempt to obtain information about US Army forces, programs, and operations. This support can be programmed or unprogrammed. These programs aid security managers in developing or improving security plans and SOPs. Advice and assistance programs are conducted by CI teams at all levels to improve the security posture of supported organizations. Support to natural disaster operations.Īdvice and Assistance Programs.Support to domestic civil disturbances.Defensive source programs are designed to protect designated Army activities against confirmed HUMINT threat.Īs stated in Chapter 2, CI general operations are essentially defensive in nature and are aimed at supporting the force protection programs and formal security programs of Army commanders at all levels. Only those agencies approved by Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), in implementing classified memorandums conduct defensive source programs. Normally, these operations involve engagement of a FIS. CI special operations are governed by AR 381-47(S) and consist of offensive CI operations, CE projects, and defensive source programs. Normally, these operations involve direct or indirect engagement of FIS through human source or technical means. Recommend countermeasures through the S2/G2/J2 to the commander.ĬI special operations are generally carried out under the auspices of the National Foreign Counterintelligence Program. It is the role of the MDCI analyst working with other CI and intelligence specialists in the analysis and control element (ACE) to analyze threat data and determine countermeasures to deny the enemy collection capabilities or other threats. It is a continuous process and, even though each phase is conducted in sequence, all phases are conducted concurrently.ĬI information without proper dissemination and action is useless. The cycle consists of five phases: planning and directing, collecting, processing, producing, and disseminating. For example, in conflict, CI may identify threat collection assets that are legitimate tactical targets and recommend neutralization by appropriate artillery or air defense artillery fires.ĬI information is developed through the intelligence cycle. Once the decision to execute is made, operations will generally be carried out by combat forces. It is the commander's responsibility to direct execution. CI personnel support operations in peace, war, and OOTW. They are not equipped or trained to conduct standard military operations as a unit nor replace combat arms units, other combat support, or combat service support personnel. CI activities that do not fall under the other functional areas of investigations, collection, or analysis and production are characterized as operations. CI operations are not operations in the conventional combat arms sense. General operations are usually defensive in nature and are aimed at supporting force protection programs and formal security programs of Army commanders at all levels.Įssentially, all CI operations and activities support force protection. Special operations involve direct or indirect engagement with FIS through human source or technical efforts. There are two types of CI operations special operations and general operations. This chapter identifies and focuses on CI operations and techniques as they support force protection, operations, and other military and civilian requirements. This chapter implements STANAG 2363 Chapter 3Ĭounterintelligence is information gathered and activities conducted to protect against espionage, other intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted by or on behalf of foreign governments or elements of foreign organizations, persons, or international terrorist activities.
