1C5F/CTF 50
Intelligence collection and
surveillance
• Critical elements
–Realistic mine threat assessment
–Tailor to likely mine laying process
–Adequate coverage requires high
priority
–Begin early
Notification of imminent
mining
• Critical elements
–Well-defined and achievable mine threat
indicators
–Dovetailed to interdiction plan for rapid
response
–Pre-greased ROE
N2 N3
–Begin early
JAG
Interdiction and intel
evaluation
• Critical elements
– Dovetailed to mine threat indicators for rapid
response
– Assets available for tracking/destruction; tied with
ROE
• Potential targets: land, surface, submarine
• Requires short-tether; assets limited by
competing missions
• Well-matched, permissive ROE
– Interdiction assets equipped to provide timely intel
evaluation
Mine countermeasures
• Critical elements
–Well-defined and achievable mine
countermeasures plan, to include force
protection
–Asset availability, given competing
missions
–Timely dissemination of mine threat
areas
Mining
• Critical elements
–Well-defined and achievable goals and
mining plan
–Asset availability, given competing
missions
–Potential losses (re: Desert Storm)
–Permissive ROE
Fleet initiatives
• C2F
– MIW assessment for JTFEXes: GW, HST, ENT; TR
(Aug 01)
• Challenges: SOOT MIW operational experience, more
realistic exercise scripting (intel, TCS, ROE)
• Develop cross-JTFEX trends/lessons learned
– Expand throughout IDTC, leveraging CCDG-2/
DESRON-26 IDTC initiatives; more focus on ARG
• C3F
– MIW assessments for JTFEX to begin with STE in
Nov 01
• CNA serving as SOOT, facilitating more realistic scripting
Unclassified
Mainstreaming/transition to organic MCM
focus
• Mainstreaming–independent of organic transition
– Command structure; signature control/threat awareness
– ISR, I&W, ROE, interdiction (land/sea,
air/surface/subsurface), and mining given competing
missions
• Needs to span entire IDTC, not just JTFEX, and tie to
certification process
• Navy committed to deploy first organic MCM-capable
CVBG in FY05 (actual systems available tbd)
• As organic capabilities are realized
– Mine reconnaissance, localization, neutralization,
clearance, and avoidance given competing missions;
command structure
