In 1988, the Commandant of the Marine Corps convened a Force Structure Study Group to provide recommendations on how the Marine Corps should be organized to fight in the near and mid-term. One of the Group's recommendations was the consolidation of the Fleet Marine Force information gathering and intelligence processing and disseminating assets into one organization, the Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Intelligence Group (SRI Group). Though this 'Warfighting Enhancement' was one of the Commandant's principal initiatives, some individuals have not been convinced of the SRI Group's usefulness. This study seeks to overcome some of the institutional resistance by examining the rationale for the SRI Group, analyzing the intelligence architecture needed to support the Marine Corps' concept for defeating future threats, ('Maneuver Warfare') and proposing a concept of operations. Specific roles and divisions of labor for SRI Group representatives and MAGTF staff principals will be presented. Finally, I will offer some possibilities for the future direction of the SRI Group.

Aviation intelligence is critical to the success of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). For the last quarter of a century, Marine aviation has not faced a serious enemy challenge in the skies and has operated with relative freedom of maneuver. This lack of a credible threat has resulted in the aviation intelligence community's losing sight of their role and has weakened the MAGTF. An analysis of the Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Policy dedicated to Marine Corps aviation intelligence and the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance enterprise, reveals that they do not adequately support Marine Corps aviation in its current and near-future operations. As countries like Russia and China develop technologies to deny Marines access and to destroy Marine aviation, it is imperative that Marine Corps aviation intelligence refocuses. The USMC aviation intelligence community has not had to focus on aviation threats and thus has not truly been tested. Instead, the focus has predominantly been on collections in the form of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, as well as targeting. As the nation's 911 force, the USMC must be in a constant state of readiness so that it can conduct forcible entry against its enemies, as directed by U.S. leadership. If one of these enemies possesses a credible threat to USMC aviation, will USMC aviation intelligence be prepared?

Current planning and organization of organic ground reconnaissance and surveillance forces in support of MAGTF operations are rapidly becoming overtaken by events. Development of highly mobile, long-range, rapid execution of over-the-horizon sea-based maritime operations in support of the CINCs is outstripping current Corps ground reconnaissance doctrine. This unclassified paper points out that the special requirements of the way the Corps plans to operate in the future will necessitate concomitant changes in how ground reconnaissance elements are deployed and employed. Further, it points out that there is a serious flaw in the organization of maritime special purpose forces which could lead to the inability to deliver on advertised special operations capabilities to the CINCs. Recommendations are made for the adjustment of current doctrine, employment and organization of reconnaissance units and organizations in order to align them with the problems outlined in the paper.
Over 5,300 total pages .... MARINE RECON Reconnaissance units are the commander’s eyes and ears on the battlefield. They are task organized as a highly trained six man team capable of conducting specific missions behind enemy lines. Employed as part of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force, reconnaissance teams provide timely information to the supported commander to shape and influence the battlefield. The varying types of missions a Reconnaissance team conduct depends on how deep in the battle space they are operating. Division Reconnaissance units support the close and distant battlespace, while Force Reconnaissance units conduct deep reconnaissance in support of a landing force. Common missions include, but are not limited to: Plan, coordinate, and conduct amphibious-ground reconnaissance and surveillance to observe, identify, and report enemy activity, and collect other information of military significance. Conduct specialized surveying to include: underwater reconnaissance and/or demolitions, beach permeability and topography, routes, bridges, structures, urban/rural areas, helicopter landing zones (LZ), parachute drop zones (DZ), aircraft forward operating sites, and mechanized reconnaissance missions. When properly task organized with other forces, equipment or personnel, assist in specialized engineer, radio, and other special reconnaissance missions. Infiltrate mission areas by necessary means to include: surface, subsurface and airborne operations. Conduct Initial Terminal Guidance (ITG) for helicopters, landing craft, parachutists, air-delivery, and re-supply. Designate and engage selected targets with organic weapons and force fires to support battlespace shaping. This includes designation and terminal guidance of precision-guided munitions. Conduct post-strike reconnaissance to determine and report battle damage assessment on a specified target or area. Conduct limited scale raids and ambushes.

The Navy has put forth a new construct for its strike forces that enables more effective forward deterrence and rapid response. A key aspect of this construct is the need for flexible, adaptive command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. To assist development of this capability, the Navy asked the NRC to examine C4ISR for carrier, expeditionary, and strike and missile defense strike groups, and for expeditionary strike forces. This report provides an assessment of C4ISR capabilities for each type of strike group; recommendations for C4ISR architecture for use in major combat operations; promising technology trends; and an examination of organizational improvements that can enable the recommended architecture.
The Defense Science Board (DSB) Advisory Group was asked to examine the use of operations research (OR) methods to support Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) decision making within the DoD. The DSB was asked to survey the departments and agencies to determine how much OR is being performed; assess how the results of OR are being used in decision making; recommend a test cases(s) for using OR methodologies; and recommend steps DoD can take to institutionalize the use of OR in future DoD decision making.
