TRAINING THE MICO IN THE BEB: SUGGESTIONS FROM AN ENGINEER AT THE U.S. ARMY INTELLIGENCE CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

摘要

To be successful, these five suggestions resulting from my observations require the support of the BCT and BEB commanders. Only the commanders can codify the roles and responsibilities of the positions and provide the guidance necessary to lead to the desired end state for the MICO. The Engineer Regiment and USAICoE should work to produce a brief block of instruction that mobile training teams can deliver to the BEB S-3s—or at least online training to supplement the MITS. An additional training block would improve the BEB S-3’s understanding of MITS and the resources available to best facilitate it. Collectively, these actions could enhance the efficiency of training for the MICO, build unit readiness, and enhance the overall lethality of the BCT.
