The Joint Fires Spectrum Navy Marine Corps Army Air Force JFIIT Focus for National Training Center 05-10 Premise: The Brigade Combat Team’s ability to request, integrate, and process Joint and organic intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data into actionable information to support decision making can be enhanced. Question 1: Did Joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support provide the information required for the decide, detect, deliver, and assess process at the Brigade and Battalion Tactical Operations Center? Question 2: Did the command and control nodes at the Brigade and Battalion Tactical Operations Center effectively apply Joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to the decide, detect, deliver, and assess process? Joint fires is a huge lane Find and fix…the problems Track…the results Target…relevant issues Engage… interoperability and training Assess…our progress UNCLASSIFIED 05-67 16 Sep 05 23 Sep 2005
