A Field Evaluation of the Aerial Surveillance and Reconnaissance MANAGER
Abstract
The handbook, Aerial Surveillance and Reconnaissance MANAGER, is an outgrowth of an earlier analysis of responsibilities and duties of Army G2 Air Officers carried out by the Surveillance Systems and Target Acquisition Work Unit Area of the Army Research Institute. This study indicated that although MOS 9309 serves as the MOS for both image interpretation Officers and for G2 Air Officers, these two jobs are quite different. The G2 Air officer's role is that of planner, coordinator, and manager of aerial surveillance and reconnaissance (AS and R) assets whereas the image interpretation officer is primarily concerned with imagery interpretation. A related finding was that MOS 9309 did not include adequate coverage of the G2 Air officer's role. The need for training more directly related to the G2 Air officer's job led to the development of the AS and R MANAGER. The AS and R MANAGER is a manual developed for use in training the G2 Air officer at division and corps level. It can be used in intelligence school courses, as a job training aid, or as a reference for established G2 Air officers.
