The Aerial Exploitation Battalion: Solution to the 'Timely' Intelligence Dilemma at Corps and Below

Abstract

The primary purpose of this paper is two fold: to highlight the tactical intelligence capabilities and the communications interface that 'can' occur between a Military Intelligence Battalion (Aerial Exploitation), the AEB, the commander's and their intelligence staffs from echelons above and below corps. Plus, the paper will offer some tactical examples as they apply to the basic tenets of the AirLand Battle Doctrine. The focus of the paper is oriented on the employment of intelligence systems supporting units at corps and below. We view the corps as the lowest echelon capable of executing AirLand Battle but realize that divisions, regiments, and other corps units will conduct offensive and defensive operation in concert with the corps objectives.
