Checkpoint and Roadblock Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR) Checklist
Area Assessment Checklist
A standardized checklist can enhance the intelligence collection effort and minimize train-up time for S2 sections. The area assessment checklist below was developed by U.S. forces during Operation RESTORE HOPE in Somalia to enhance the intelligence collection effort during operations other than war. For additional guidance see Appendix B, FM 41-10, Civil Affairs Operations. Use the following checklist as a guide to develop a standardized area assessment checklist checklist for operations in Haiti.

Checkpoint
and Roadblock Priority Intelligence Requirement (PIR) Checklist
The force can gain valuable intelligence information while operating checkpoints. The checklist below was developed during operations in Somalia to help standardize the intelligence collection effort. This list is not all inclusive but gives suggestions into many areas of importance at checkpoints and roadblocks.
- Report number and type of vehicles stopped.
- Report identifying markings, license plate numbers, and a description of the vehicle.
- Report number of passengers in the vehicle.
- Report age and sex mix of passengers.
- Report type and quantity of cargo.
- Report point of origination and destination of vehicle.
- Report stated reason for travel by passengers.
- Report any weapons found in the vehicles.
- Report any sightings of weapons or bandits by passengers.
- Report condition of passengers (general health, dress, and attitude).
- Report anything unusual reported by passengers.
The use of a standardized checklist can greatly enhance the intelligence collection effort and minimize train-up time. Units presented with non-traditional intelligence requirements should develop a detailed checklist to ensure the completeness and standardization of the collection effort. Use a convoy checklist to debrief convoy personnel to ensure the standardization of the intelligence collection effort. Use the following checklist as an example.
- Use a SALUTE report when reporting the size, activity, location, unit, time, and equipment of belligerents seen during a convoy.
- Report any changes in road conditions (pot holes, collapsed culverts, damaged bridges).
- Report acts of violence directed towards the convoy (aiming of weapons, rock throwing, location and number of personnel).
- Report incidents of hostile intent by civilians directed toward the convoy (shouting, jeering, impeding operations, number of personnel, nature of incident, location).
- Report incidents of shots fired at or around a convoy (location, number of personnel, type weapons, action taken, casualties).
- Report incidents of convoys being stopped by or harassed by roadblocks (location, number of personnel, nature of incident, action taken).
- Report thefts from convoys (items taken, description of thief, location, action taken).

The following checklist was developed by the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) during operations in Somalia. It was use to ensure that all bases and installations had a good defensive plan. It was also used to provide necessary information to subordinate leaders in the QRF that might of had to react to a crisis. The checklist is a modification of the checklist found in FM 90-12, Base Defense. These examples are based on the warn, deny, detect, delay, and destroy response guidance provided in the FM. Use the checklist provided below and the checklist from FM 90-12 as guidelines when developing a checklist for operations in Haiti.
