In Company Level Intelligence Cell (CLIC) training, students will learn how to perform the intelligence functions as a member of a tactical intelligence team such as a CLIC, Direct Support Team, or other like structure; and they will gain an understanding of how tactical intelligence teams support current and future operations. At the beginning of the course, students will be introduced to the tactical planning process and will utilize it throughout the course as a framework to explore the functionality of tactical intelligence in support of a unit’s mission. They will conduct learning activities such as a historical case study, guided discussions, terrain model building, tactical decision games, and peer to peer briefing to help reinforce key concepts such as effective communication, tactical collections, and support to small-Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) operations. At the end of the course, students will work in groups to apply what they have learned by creating a full mission intelligence briefing in support of a fictional multi-phased operation.
