COMMANDER’S CRITICAL INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
Integration of Engineer Operations
2-15. The commander controls the flow and collection of critical information through establishing the
CCIR. The CCIR consist of the following two components:
� Priority intelligence requirements (PIR). PIR are intelligence requirements (stated as a
priority for intelligence support) that the commander and staff need to understand the adversary
or the operational environment. (JP 2-0)
� Friendly forces information requirements (FFIR). FFIR are information that the commander
and staff need about the forces available for the operation. (FM 6-0)
BATTLE TRACKING
2-16. Battle tracking involves monitoring elements of the common operational picture (COP) that are tied
to forecasted outcomes. Each engineer CP supporting the BCT (organic or augmenting) is responsible for
tracking the progress of the tactical operation. Because organic engineer company parent organizations
differ between the three types of BCTs, the information flow may differ also.
2-17. Engineer units augmenting a BCT are responsible for ensuring that their CP tracks engineer
execution and passes the information to the supported unit CP and the next higher engineer organization or
staff. When an engineer battalion is task-organized to a BCT, it gathers reports from its subordinate units
and forwards them to the BCT, main CP, and ENCOORD.
2-18. Battle tracking for engineer forces includes, but is not limited to—
� Engineer unit locations and combat power (personnel, equipment, supplies).
� Status of CCIR.
� Obstacles planned and executed.
� Survivability preparations.
