"Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant of the enemy and of yourself you are certain in every battle to be in peril."
--Sun Tzu, The Art of War, 500 B.C.

1. "Know your enemy," that well-known axiom in all military circles, is the precursor to victory on the battlefield. This imperative is no less important today on the technologically advanced AirLand Battlefield than it was in the days of Sun Tzu.

2. The NTC Analysis Division of the Center for Army Lessons Learned focused primarily on the battalion task force intelligence system for this newsletter. These lessons learned are derived largely through the long-term observations of the observer-controllers of the NTC Operations Group and the intelligence personnel assigned to the OPFOR, as well as an assessment of the intelligence system by CATA's NTC Observation Division during recent unit rotations.

3. In its effort to "get the word out" to the rest of the Army, CATA provides these tactics, techniques, and procedures for your consideration and use. If your unit has identified any combat relevant lessons at the NTC or other training exercises, share them with the rest of the Army by contacting the Center for Army Lessons Learned, AV 552-2191/2132.
