USAIC&FH Fields New and Updated Intelligence Manuals
The U.S. Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca (USAIC&FH) Doctrine Division anticipated the most important doctrinal products to meet the field's requirements for the on-going Global War on Terrorism. The development of this updated doctrine continues, driven primarily by requirements expressed by the field units involved in Operations IRAQI FREEDOM and ENDURING FREEDOM (OIF and OEF, respectively). These doctrinal efforts, while incorporating current lessons learned, are essentially founded on time-tested principles and fundamentals. What the Doctrine Division has done is to refine and update the terminology and considerations for the complexities of the modern environments.
USAIC&FH is in the final stages of production of several new doctrinal products. The Doctrine Division is producing several of these products as Special Texts (STs) primarily designed for intelligence staffs and soldiers conducting intelligence support to operations. Commanders and staffs at all echelons can use them and they apply equally to the Active and Reserve Components, to include the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) and the U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG). STs decrease the time required to develop and disseminate doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to the field for specific and unique operational considerations. The products discussed in this article are:
* ST 2-91.4, Intelligence Support to Operations in the Urban Environment, August 2004.
* ST 2-91.1, Intelligence Support to Stability Operations and Support Operations, September, 2004.
* FM 2-01.3, Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield [IPB], Draft October 2004.
* ST 2-01.301, Specific TTP and Applications of IPB, In review.
* FMI 3-07.22, Counterinsurgency Manual, October 2004.
