Chapter 5<br />

Conducting compliance monitoring.<br />

Conduct crowd control.<br />

Negotiating and conducting leader engagements.<br />

Establishing a reserve or QRF. For this mission the DRT should be augmented with tactical<br />

vehicles or helicopter support.<br />

COMPANY INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT TEAMS<br />

5-24. Company intelligence support teams (COIST) are formed at the company, troop, or battery level.<br />

They are generally formed during stability and counterinsurgency operations to perform intelligence tasks<br />

as directed by the commander, usually during stability operations. The COIST accomplishes many<br />

intelligence tasks to support the DRT commander. These tasks include:<br />

Answering the squadron commander’s information requirements.<br />

Conducting IPB.<br />

Tracking SIGACTs.<br />

Assisting with site exploitation and database information.<br />

Supporting HUMINT-related operations such as key leader engagements and detainee<br />

operations.<br />

Assisting with biometric tools, using automated information collection and analysis tools.<br />

Supporting troop targeting with detailed intelligence products.<br />

5-25. The COIST should develop a mission intelligence briefing plan. The plan should sensitize Soldiers to<br />

specific information and reporting requirements, information gaps, current events in the area of<br />

responsibility, and unique mission requirements. The COIST can use the same form for both prebriefing<br />

and debriefing the patrol. The information the patrol is looking for can be put on the sheet prior to leaving<br />

on the mission and the remainder of the data placed on the sheet during or after the mission is complete.<br />

OTHER STABILITY MISSIONS<br />

5-26. The DRT conducts economy of force within its capabilities. Its size and combat power limits its<br />

effectiveness against a strong and well-organized enemy. Its light foot prints and ability to traverse almost<br />

any terrain gives the DRT an advantage in broken and restricted terrain. The following are other missions<br />

that the DRT conducts during stability operations (see FM 3-21.10 and FM 3-20.971 for additional<br />

information on other DRT stability missions):<br />

An attack (may require augmentation based on METT-TC).<br />

A squadron movement to contact (normally a search and attack or cordon and search may<br />

require augmentation).<br />

Defending an AO.<br />

Defending a perimeter.<br />
