Brigade Combat Team (BCT) Intelligence Operations

摘要

At the direction of the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA), the Army is transforming. The changes provide significantly more robust intelligence collection and analysis capabilities at the brigade level. This article will discuss these changes as projected in early November 2004. The CSA's guidance was to create a modular, brigade-based army that- 1. Is more responsive to regional combatant commanders. 2. Better employs joint capabilities. 3. Facilitates force packaging and rapid deployment. 4. Fights as a self-contained unit capable of full-spectrum operations.
