General Executing day-to-day all-source collection management responsibilities for intelligence potential information collection assets assigned to the EAC. Coordinating with the J3 the intelligence aspects of reconnaissance activities conducted within the EAC area of responsibility. Coordinating theater and national-level intelligence collection activities with theater J2. Serve as the EAC Intelligence Collection Requirement Control Authority. Preparing, maintaining, validating, and levying intelligence collection requirements on organic tactical assets. Preparing, for submission to J2-CMO (Collection Management Officer), those intelligence collection requirements requesting theater and/or national collection assets. Other specific requirements include:
Subordinate element requirements. The EAC J2 will establish HUMINT collection operations to include requisite personnel, equipment and origination. Reporting and intelligence dissemination channels will be through the collections management cell to the J2 and other affected staff sections. Special consideration must be employed for coordination with host nation and multinational forces, agencies and governments when collecting from non-combatants and prisoners of war. The HUMINT element would derive collection requirements from the PIR and commander's guidance. During small scale contingencies handling captured documents and material and interrogating of captured personnel, defectors, and refugees will be in conjunction with the J1. In major theater of war contingencies higher headquarters interrogation and or material exploitation staffs would conduct such matters. Another option for the HUMINT element exits with the creation of a J-2X cell. This option is to be considered when the link between CI and HUMINT is stronger than what the collections management cell alone could address. This is typical toward the MTW conditions on the continuum from small scale contingency. This possible combination is due to CI and HUMINT complement each other, and work in partnership to provide intelligence and force protection to a EAC. To accomplish this unity of effort, the EAC commander or J-2 may establish a joint force J-2 CI/HUMINT support element (J-2X) separating this HUMINT element from the collections management cell. The J-2X will manage, coordinate and de-conflict HUMINT and CI collection activities of attached elements and Service components. The J-2X reports directly to the EAC J-2. Designates a task force counterintelligence coordinating authority (TFCICA) to coordinate counterintelligence force protection source operations, maintain tactical source registry, maintain liaison coordination, and conduct CI collection management support functions. Designates a HUMINT Operations Cell (HOC) Chief to coordinate operations, source administration, and requirements with the Country Team; establish liaison with the joint captured materiel exploitation center (JCMEC), joint document exploitation center (JDEC), joint interrogation and debriefing center (JIDC), and JISE Technical Intelligence elements and task HUMINT collection elements against identified priority EPW, document, and foreign material acquisition requirements; and guide HUMINT operations toward elimination of intelligence gaps. Deconflicts source operational interest to minimize duplication of effort. Ensures proper resource application to provide a coordinated, deconflicted and integrated CI, HUMINT, and SOF collection and reporting effort for the EAC.
