4-44. During COA development the staff, under the commander’s guidance, analyzes various options for deploying and implementing HUMINT assets. Input from HUMINT senior NCOs and WOs is vital to COA development and analysis. Items to consider during COA development include—

 The distribution of the HCTs and OMTs within the AO.

 The support relationship (GS and DS) that exists for the deployed teams.

 The command relationship in effect for the HCTs and OMTs (assigned, attached, or OPCON).

 The manner in which the HUMINT assets are phased into the theater.

 The tactical configuration (personnel and equipment) of the HCT.

 The actual number of the HCTs and OMTs and the size of the supporting HUMINT operations section (if any) deployed.

 The priority of the OMT’s efforts.

 The priority of linguist support.

4-45. During the MDMP, the MI commander advises his higher headquarters on the most efficient use of the HUMINT collectors to meet collection requirements. Depending on the particular higher echelon mission and the capabilities of the specific personnel under his command, the supported S2 must decide whether to concentrate collection efforts on source, debriefing, interrogation, tactical questioning, liaison, or DOCEX operations to answer collection requirements. (See ssss1 for a description of these operations.) The MI commander may be required by his operational tasking to support any or all of these operations. He must decide how to task organize his assets to meet these requirements. When faced with limited assets, prioritization of collection is paramount.
