What type of training can intelligence professionals expect during a multi-echelon integrated brigade training (MIBT) rotation at Ft. Hood?

My unit will be participating in a MIBT exercise and I'm trying to gather any information that will help me prepare my soldiers for the training. This the first time I've participated in this type of exercise with my brigade and I'm just trying to mitigate as much"Shock and Awe" as possible. I want to know what type of training can Intel Soldiers (of any -INT) expect.

If I'm not mistaken it's either the first or second one ever. It's been a while since I was at BDE so I could be wrong.

Maybe not Intel related, but I know the UAS guys at JRTC love to use shadows as red air to target assets. It confuses you at first since you think it's yours. Then when the BDE main gets arty you quickly realize, oops.

First, you will learn what your brigade protocols are. How everything they learn during AIT fits in normal combat operations. Second, you will get more proficient in the use of DCGS-A, TIGR, OSRVT, CPOF, and other platforms you might use. Third, I don't know if you have analysts assigned to each maneuver unit, if you do your COIST will be able to learn what they need to look for while deployed. Send proper reporting to Bn and your BN analyst compile all that information for the daily INTSUM to brigade. As well they will be able to practice tactical questioning, briefings and debriefing of operations to write their reports
