Division MI Battalion Restructure: Can Change Coupled with Technology Help Clear the Fog from the Brigade Battle?
Abstract
This monograph examines the impact of the heavy division MI battalion restructure on Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) support to the maneuver brigade. This restructure gains significance due to the fielding of a new family of systems present in the objective architecture. The monograph seeks to determine if the provision of a direct support (DS) company from the divisional MI battalion will provide the brigade an improved capability to see and understand the battlefield. Additionally, it suggests possible implications of the restructure in the areas of doctrine, training and leader development. This monograph begins by briefly describing the origins of the current heavy division MI battalion. It describes Combat Electronic Warfare Intelligence (CEWI) and delineates the reasons for this concept and organizational structure at the tactical level. It addresses the information and intelligence requirements of the heavy brigade and required capabilities to perform the functions of Army intelligence.
