Abstract
Intelligence preparation of the battlefield gives the commander situation assessment.Other intelligence products like intelligence estimate,Counterintelligence estimate etc do give important details of Enemy but all these do not support derivation for Surprise.Commander gets all intelligence feeds,executed war gaming,decided on all possible courses of action,and prepares for the most likely course of action of the Enemy.So far so good. What precedes all this planning? Intelligence Requirements.IRs are formulated after receipt of information of observed enemy activity.But despite all intelligence collection and approximate assumption of most likely course of action,the enemy may still spring a surprise.Situational Awareness takes this into account. I am in no way reducing the significance of standard Commanders MDMP and war gaming in light of current intelligence feeds to deal with an expected COA.It can very well be Enemy has no plans to Surprise.But then Commanders Situational Awareness is incomplete.He should take in account possible Surprise moves.To this end I suggest a parallel MDMP after using CARVER to nominate other possible Targets apart from the one being considered,possible target types and associated propensity rating,all historical data and all other information in each Target folder,brainstorm hypothetical indicators specific to each Target environment ,human and physical terrain, formulate SURPRISE INT REQUIREMENTS,look for associated indicators,confirm or deny them and through the process of Target Nomination- Target Development- Target Reduction Plan arrive at the highest possible alternate targets inviting terrorist surprise attack.
