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?

Nodes to Process Model
Premise: The brigade combat team’s ability to
request, integrate, and process Joint and organic ISR
data into actionable information to support decision
making can be enhanced.
Question 1: Did Joint ISR support provide the
information required for the D3A process at the BDE
and BN TOC?
Question 2: Did the command and control nodes at
the BDE and BN TOC effectively apply Joint ISR to the
D3A process?
