program
OPSEC is EVERYONE’S responsibility
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
INTELLIGENCE
REQUIREMENT (IR)
• Requirement for intelligence to fill
a gap in the commanders knowledge
and understanding of the situation
• Reduce uncertainties on the
battlefield
• Two categories:
- PIR - Priority Intelligence Requirement
- IR - Intelligence Requirement
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
PRIORITY INTELLIGENCE
REQUIREMENT (PIR)
• Associated with a decision that will affect
the overall success of the command’s mission
• Only the commander designates
• G2 recommends
• PIR is usually in the form of a question
• Information is needed to answer the PIR
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
EXAMPLE PIR
Will the 3rd Tank Division enter NAI 8 or
NAI 9 NLT 291900lOCT00?
“Who, what, when and where”
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
SPECIFIC INFORMATION
REQUIREMENT (SIR)
• Information required to answer all or part
Of a PIR/IR
• Describes the information required, the
location and time during which it can be
Collected
• Each IR/PIR usually generates sets of SIRS
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
EXAMPLE SIRs
Will more than 17 BRDM-2s subordinate
to the 3rd Tank Division or its regiments
pass through NAI 8 between 011000l-
030400l?
Will more than 38 artillery weapons
subordinate to the 3rd Tank Division
enter NAI 8 or NAI 9 between 011000l-
020300l?
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
SPECIFIC ORDER OR
REQUEST (SOR)
• Any order or request that generates
planning and execution of a collection
mission or analysis
• SORS sent to subordinate units are
orders
• SORS sent to other commands are
requests
• Developed from detailed SIRS
• Usually formed in SOR sets to answer
one SOR
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course
EXAMPLE SORs
SOR 1a. Report the presence of BRDM
reconnaissance vehicles in NAI 8 or
NAI 9 between 011000l-020300l (LTIOV:
021000l).
SOR 1b. Report the presence of
communications nodes associated
with recon elements of the 3rd Tank
Div in NAI 8 between 011000l-020300l
(LTIOV: 021000l).
