Multiservice Procedures for Requesting Reconnaissance Information in a Joint Environment (RECCE-J)
Abstract
To conduct joint military operations, commanders at all levels, from each of the services, need information and reconnaissance Support to fulfill intelligence requirements. Well-articulated requirements ensure the intelligence and reconnaissance products satisfy needs and preclude the necessity for requesting additional information to meet unfulfilled requirements. The rapid tempo of combat operations demands products and information be disseminated in sufficient time to be useful to the commander. This publication educates the user on what' and how' to ask for reconnaissance support, and familiarizes the user with reconnaissance products to ensure the product received fulfills user intelligence requirements. It reviews reconnaissance disciplines and limitations and acts as a step-by-step guide for requesting reconnaissance information. Discussions of platform, system, or sensor-specific capabilities are classified and outside the scope of this publication. A number of publications provide more specific information on reconnaissance systems, sensors, or platforms. Unit intelligence or collection management staffs can provide further information on these publications. The publication is organized using a building-block approach. The first chapter gives an orientation and explains general concepts. The succeeding chapters describe reconnaissance products, request procedures, and the request flow process. The appendices offer a more in-depth discussion of reconnaissance products and command architecture, including detailed instructions and procedures for preparing mission-specific request formats.
