CHAPTER 1 The Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Mission The division commander directs, coordinates, and supports subordinate unit operations against enemy first-echelon regiments in support of the division's close operations. Simultaneously, he attacks enemy forces, supporting or sustaining enemy forces engaged in close operations, and interdicts enemy second-echelon and follow-on forces to prevent them from closing on and influencing the close operations. He takes actions necessary to secure his rear and sustain his combat capabilities by conducting rear operations as required. To successfully conduct all operations of the air-land battle, it is imperative that the IEW system provide accurate information in sufficient time to allow the commander to reach a decision, prepare orders, and execute his plan.
