Chapter 5redeployment. NGIC maintains a counter-improvised explosives device targeting program (CITP) portal onthe Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) Web site that provides information concerningIED activities and incidents, and NGIC IED assessments. In the IED fight, NGIC increases the capabilityof the coalition force to collect TECHINT and provide dedicated intelligence fusion in order to target bombmakers and their networks. NGIC provides weapons intelligence teams (WITs), which are deployed tobrigade level to assist with IED incidents.NAVAL EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL TECHNOLOGYDIVISION5-31. The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) exploitstechnology and intelligence to develop and deliver EOD information, tools, equipment, and their life cyclesupport to meet the needs of joint service EOD operating forces and other customers. Its core functionsare―• Developing EOD procedures to counter munitions threats.• Developing tools and equipment to meet EOD operational needs.• Performing in-service engineering for EOD tools and equipment.• Performing depot-level management and repair for EOD tools and equipment.• Maintaining an EOD explosive hazard database.RAPID EQUIPPING FORCE5-32. The Rapid Equipping Force (REF) is an organization that takes its operational guidance from theAssistant Chief of Staff, Operations and Plans (G-3) and reports directly to the vice Chief of Staff of the<strong>Army</strong>. It has a broad mission to rapidly increase mission capability while reducing the risk to <strong>Soldier</strong>s,Marines, and others. The REF accomplishes this mission in the following three ways:• Equips operational commanders with off-the-shelf (government or commercial) solutions ornear-term developmental items that can be researched, developed, and acquired quickly.• Inserts future force technology solutions that our engaged and deploying forces require. It doesthis by developing, testing, and evaluating key technologies and systems under operationalconditions.• Assesses the capabilities and advising <strong>Army</strong> stakeholders of the findings that will enable ourforces to rapidly confront an adaptive enemy.TECHNICAL ESCORT UNITS5-33. The technical escort units will, on order, deploy task-organized teams to the continental UnitedStates (CONUS) or outside the continental United States (OCONUS) to conduct technical escort, CBRNhazard characterization, monitoring, disablement, and elimination support operations. They provide WMDand CBRN incident emergency response, homeland defense, and contingency support operations tocombatant commanders and lead federal agencies. They also provide site remediation and restorationsupport operations for DOD.TECHNICAL SUPPORT WORKING GROUP5-34. The Technical <strong>Support</strong> Working Group (TSWG) is the United States national forum that identifies,prioritizes, and coordinates interagency and international research and development (R&D) requirementsfor combating terrorism. The TSWG rapidly develops technologies and equipment to meet the high priorityneeds of combating the terrorism community (to include IEDs) and addresses joint internationaloperational requirements through cooperative R&D with major allies.5-35. Since 1986, the TSWG has pursued combating terrorism technologies in the broad context ofnational security by providing a cohesive interagency forum to define user-based technical requirementsspanning the federal interagency community.
