Lessons learned from combat training centers describe
SIGINT resources as being inconsistently integrated into the BCT's concept of operations (CONOPS), creating a "chicken and the egg" scenario.
Satellites, particularly those in low-Earth orbits, can be shifted in position relatively quickly to bring their
SIGINT resources to bear.
The COIN fight in Afghanistan and Iraq has consumed the majority of
SIGINT resources for the last 10 years pushing other FSO requirements to the second tier of collection.
Our 35N Soldier also worked in conjunction with the G2 ACE SIGINT Section for access to NSANet and other
SIGINT resources not available in the DTES and conducted limited cross training on other GEOINT systems.
