Chapter 2 Information Management 2-17. At the troop level, information management is the process of providing relevant information to the right person at the right time in a usable form to facilitate SA/SU and decision making. Its components are the information systems required to collect, process, store, display, and disseminate information. Information systems include computers and communications means, as well as policies and procedures for their use. Procedures 2-18. Procedures are standard and detailed instructions on how to perform a specific task. They govern actions within a C2 system to make it more effective. Following procedures minimizes confusion, misunderstanding, and hesitancy as the commander makes frequent, rapid decisions to meet operational requirements. 2-19. At troop level the TACSOP is a set of instructions covering those features of operations that lend themselves to a standardized procedure without loss of effectiveness. Units base the TACSOP on doctrinal tactics, techniques, and procedures; the squadron’s procedures; the commander’s guidance; and experience. In general, the TACSOP apply to situations until the commanders change them. The TACSOP produce the following benefits: Simplified, brief combat orders. Enhanced mutual understanding and teamwork. Established synchronized battle drills. 2-20. A commander uses his TACSOP to reduce the number of instructions needed before, during, and after operations. The TACSOP details how to accomplish a mission or tactical task within a specific unit and standardize unit-level techniques and procedures to enhance flexibility and effectiveness. The TACSOP may also be adapted in a given location for a given threat. As the name implies, TACSOP standardize routine or recurring actions not needing the commander’s personal involvement. They regulate operations within and among C2 system elements and allow internal and external elements to communicate with one another based on shared expectations. The TACSOP also serves as a starting point for new personnel to learn how the troop conducts operations. Equipment and Facilities 2-21. Equipment and facilities provide sustainment resources and establish a work environment for the other elements of a C2 system. Facilities vary in size and complexity. At the troop level, a “facility” can be the commander’s vehicle or the CP. COMMAND POST 2-22. <strong>Troop</strong> CP personnel assist the commander in the coordination and supervision of the execution of plans, operations, and other activities. One of the primary functions of the CP is collecting combat information from the platoons and reporting significant enemy information gathered during their reconnaissance and security operations to the squadron main CP. Overall CP responsibilities are as follows: Assists the commander in C2. Maintains the current operations map. FBCB2 map chart tabs consisting of set map areas, static (notional) overlays, and CP (dynamic) overlays with associated CP filters: OPNS/RECON–track and fight the reconnaissance/counterreconnaissance operation. HIGHER OPS–track and fight the current operation. CLR FIRES–clear artillery fires. REAR–track sustainment activity in the AO. Maintains SA and COP by staying current regarding the following information: Unit locations (scout teams; OPs; platoons; adjacent units; unit and squadron trains; and CP). Unit status (maintenance; resupply; personnel). 2-4 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Artillery targets (list and overlay). Command and Control Request for SUAS flight and airspace C2 coordination. Request CAS and CCA and monitor the missions. Obstacles (locations and overlay). Known/templated enemy locations. CCIR. Phases of the operation, with associated triggers and decisive points. Current mission statement and intent (own and higher). Serves as the troop’s NCS. Reports information to squadron and adjacent units. Maintains a log of all incoming and outgoing messages on DA Form 1594 (Daily Staff Journal or Duty Officer's Log). Monitors and coordinates sustainment for the troop and attached elements. Answers all calls from the squadron unless directed specifically to the commander. Respond for the commander when he does not answer. Acts as a middleman for any calls directed within the troop and with the squadron headquarters. Conducts preventive, maintenance, checks, and services on all equipment. CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS 2-23. The troop CP must be capable of operating on a 24-hour basis. During continuous operations, the CP normally operates in shifts. The importance of the XO as the troop’s second in command must be accounted for when establishing shifts. The shifts should be established to provide a depth of experience throughout. The CP operates under the direction of the XO and is manned by the following: XO. Operations NCO. Communications NCO. CBRN NCO. Radio-telephone operators (RTO). 2-24. An example of CP shifts are as follows: Shift 1: XO (may need to divide his time between both shifts). Communications NCO. RTO. Shift 2: Operations NCO. CBRN NCO. RTO. 2-25. To ensure continuous operations, the CP personnel conduct a shift change briefing to update the incoming shift on the current status of the troop, the flank units, and the squadron. Both shifts review the significant activities during the previous shift to familiarize the oncoming shift with upcoming decisions and events. While the format for the brief is a matter of standard operating procedure (SOP), it should address the following: Task organization changes (FBCB2 task organization file in effect). Changes to mission (current fragmentary order [FRAGO] in effect). Current CCIR and answers to CCIR received during previous shift. Current enemy situation. Current friendly situation (two levels higher). Current platoon and attached element status for maintenance, resupply, and personnel. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 2-5
