Secretary of the Army Chief of Staff 0835801 AlwAys Out FrOnt by Major General John M. Custer III Commanding General U.S. Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca In the previous issue of MIPB I discussed the tenet that MI assets are always engaged and described how the Intelligence Center is diligently working to draw from your experiences in ongoing operations. Carrying that thought forward, I will discuss some of the newer conceptual and doctrinal paradigms we are now crafting into the full-spectrum doctrine that will underpin precise intelligence operations for the future. One of my key tests for developing the right doctrinal constructs is the ability of the emerging doctrine to facilitate intelligence operations that can find high value individuals, the proverbial needle in a stack of needles, during stability operations while still addressing the many nuanced requirements associated with securing and meeting the needs of the local populace. We carefully struggle with the friction of maintaining fundamental full-spectrum doctrine from which you can vary while also addressing the requirement to develop specific relevant doctrine and tactics, tech- niques, and procedures (TTPs) for the current fight. Our fundamental doctrinal constructs must remain as relevant during the conduct of offensive, defensive, and the many newly forming challenges of civil support operations as they are for current operations. We have taken big strides forward in adapting to asymmetric threats and complex operations but there are still many improvements we will implement. You will have a gigantic role to play in crafting this fundamental doctrine and more specific TTP through your reviews of our doctrine in the near future; most notably the review of our capstone doctrine FM 2-0, Intelligence this year. Our strategy in most cases is to develop an 85 percent solution and then quickly revise those manu- als as necessary in order to break out of the old doctrinal revision cycle…which has not been effective. Some of the newer doctrinal concepts and issues we are tackling within MI doctrine and also addressing within other branch and Joint intelligence doctrine include: Ê Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition/Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (RSTA/ISR). In September 2008, we drafted and received official Army authenti- cation on a Change 1 to FM 2-0, Intelligence focused almost exclusively on Chapter 1. The revision of FM 2-0 implemented the Vice Chief of the Staff of the Army guidance to introduce RSTA/ISR into Army doctrine. RSTA/ISR reflects the unique application of ISR and targeting within current tacti- cal operations and provides a useful context from which to view future operations. The definition is provided within the context of the unique nature of land operations and the execution of inten- sive ISR operations required to conduct successful tactical operations. The points of emphasis that make RSTA/ISR unique from broader ISR and targeting include: recognition that operations must be dynamic, timely and accurate in its nature; the inclusion of combat information and actionable intelligence in its very essence; and the specific emphasis on effects and decisions in direct support of the ground tactical commander. We will continue to explore the implications of this conceptual change on the body of MI doctrine. ÊÊ Change 1 to FM 2-0 states, “RSTA/ISR is the means the Army uses to implement the Joint doctri- nal concept of persistent surveillance in support of tactical operations.

Extensions are given and filing help is available here until May 15. “All deployed servicemembers automatically have a 180 day extension to file their taxes,” said Sgt. Bethany Becker of Hutto, Texas, the legal as- sistance noncommissioned officer in charge, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary). “The 180 days starts when they redeploy.” There is also filing assistance for servicemem- bers on Anaconda, much like on any active duty Army base in the States. The consolidated legal center, located at building 9103, can help service- members prepare forms 1040a and 1040EZ. “We offer electronic filing of federal and state taxes,” Becker said. “If servicemembers have any other tax issues, I will do my best to help or find someone who can help them.” Assistance at the tax center is free, and if ser- vicemembers file their taxes using the E-file pro- gram, they can receive their refund in as little as 10 days, Becker said.
