Chapter II

TACTICS, TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES (TTP)
IN SUPPORT OF OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR (cont)

DISCUSSION: Units dramatically improve their non-traditional intelligence collection efforts by developing detailed PIR checklists. In OOTW PIR may be considerably different than normally expected in a combat environment. In Somalia, checklists were developed for each of the following five mission areas:

• Area Assessment Checklist.
• Patrol Checklist
• Convoy Debrief Checklist.
• Roadblock Checklist.
• Airfield Security Checklist.

There are example checklists in Appendix A.

LESSON(s):

• 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 detailed checklists to ensure the collection effort is standardized and complete.
