CATEGORYDEFINITIONGeneral Support The action given to the supported force as a whole rather than to a particular subdivision thereof. Mutual Support The action that units render each other against an enemy because of their assigned tasks, their position relative to each other and to the enemy, and their inherent capabilities. Direct Support A mission requiring a force to support another specific force and authorizing it to answer directly the supported force’s request for assistance. Close Support The action of the supporting force against targets or objectives that are sufficiently near the supported force as to require detailed integration or coordination of the supporting action with fire, movement, or other actions of the supported force.

4-17. The first step in the RM process is to develop intelligence requirements that accurately identify and prioritize the commander’s concerns about the threat and the battlefield environment that must be resolved to accomplish the mission. The G2/S2X, or his representative, normally supports the G2/S2 by identifying HUMINT collection requirements and opportunities and advises the command and staff on HUMINT capabilities. The HUMINT representative must be able to discuss any delays or risks involved in using HUMINT assets. Through participation in the requirements development process, the HUMINT representative has a thorough understanding of the commander’s intent and concept of operations and is better able to support the overall ISR effort.
