MI soldier: update

I would like to render free of access by stating that the sharing of information among Military Intelligence (MI) professionals is real important within our ranks. In an effort to enhance this ability, the U Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca (USAIC&FH) has created the Intelligence Center Online Network (ICON) at https://icon.army.mil. At the ICON portal you will find links to many sites to include the Staff and Faculty unfolding Division, the MI Officer Basic Course, the Staff Weather Officer Course, the Office of the Chief of MI (OCMI), the International Military scholar Office, the University of Military Intelligence, the Military Intelligence Online Library, tasks Learned, and other informative sites. I challenge you to visit the ICON site to become familiar with the outcomes available and to share your exercise s learned comments.

Critical Task Site Selection Boards

The Critical Task Site Selection Board (CTSSB) is the vehicle we use to retain training current and relevant with the at any time changing missions of our highly technical MI Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) Critical tasks are adjusted as a issue of recommendations made by the CTSSB which in move round cause changes to MOSs. It is true important to have as many units as possible participate in the CTSSB to render certain that new tasks are captured and tasks that are no longer required are delet to focus limited training resources upon the tasks and skills our Soldiers ne today and tomorrow. It is critical that you propel your sharpest and brightest. Here is a list of scheduled filled CTSSBs; those scheduled more than six month on the outside are subject to change. You can check for any changes to the CTSSB schedule upon Army Knowledge Online (AKO).

Changes in MI MOSs

It is important for the Soldiers within your organizations to understand the changes affecting the MI Corps. OCMI provides update briefs for the officer, warrant officer (WO) and noncommissioned officer (NCO) training courses guidanceed at Fort Huachuca. OCMI is also available to provide Officer Professional exhibition (OPD) and NCOPD for organizations. An abbreviated version of the information these briefs provide follows

MO Recoding

Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) directed the recoding of MOS across the force to align Career Management Fields (CMFs) The MI WO MOS was recod 30 September 2005

Specific MO Changes CMF 33

Approximately 212 MO 33W (35T) UAV codfished positions are projected to transmute to the aviation MOS 15J OH-58D Armament/Electrical/Avionics combination of parts to form a wholes Repairer effective Fiscal Year (FY) 09 The 33W Soldiers commonly filling those positions will not reclassify unles they petition to do so. Soldiers publicly qualified in MOS 15J will attend UAV training incrementally to replace MO 33W in UAV units.

CMF 96

Requirements are throw outed to increase for most of CMF 96 during the transformation to the Modular Force. MO 96B increases from 4088 to 5652 MO 96D decreases from 820 to 796 and MO 96H increases from 694 to 738 A big bear upon for MOS 96D and 96H career progression is the decrease in Master Sergeant (MSG) positions from 27 to 12 Based upon this decrease and recommendations from Sergeants Major across the force, OCMI approveed capping MOS 96Z at MSG versus the Sergeant Major (SGM) horizontal The Commanding General, USAIC&FH approved this recommendation in the FY06 Military Occupational Classification and configuration (MOCS) proposal. If approved by the agency of HQDA, this will result in a better distribution of MSG slot for the entire CMF 96 OCMI has entreatyed early implementation of this action to be found before FY09.

MO 96B and 96D remain upon the STAR MOS list for one as well as the other Sergeant (SGT) and Staff Sergeant (SSG) Major General Fast and I ne each leader to take a hard gaze at your formations and make assured all eligible Soldiers in STAR MOS are interchange of opinioned properly, if they are not approveed for promotion. Sixteen eligible 96B and 96D Soldiers were single outed for DA Directed Automatic List Integration (DALI) to SGT for January 2006 The DALI was established through DA to help fix NCO shortage issues within STAR MOS Soldiers in the primary girdle and eligible for promotion (but not recommended) can now be DA-selected for promotion with 350 promotion points.

The FY05 CTSSB for MOS 96D and 96H commended some changes that bring the skill plants of these two MOS closer together. The Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) "Cradle to Grave" inquiry is scheduled to begin March 2006 to evaluate each aspect of IMINT, similar to the newly conducted Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) "Cradle to Grave" application of mind During this study the possibility of merging MOS 96D and 96H will be reviewed. Of note, the 96D FY05 CTSSB held 5 to 16 December 2005 added nine Skill horizontal (SL) 1 tasks emphasizing Moving Target Indicator (MTI), (traditionally an MO 96H function), the All-source Analysis a whole (ASAS), and Distributed Common mould Station (DCGS)-A Operations. Five additional tasks were added to SL 3 and 4 which emphasize higher imagery analysis skills and management. The MO 96H FY05 CTSSB held 15 to 19 August 2005 added a TOP close (TS) clearance requirement to this MOS; changed the what one ought to do title from Operator to Analyst; added 15 fresh tasks emphasizing the Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) MTI Forensics, and UAV far Video Terminal (RVT).
