Figure 2. Summary of the special-operations forces exploitation model special-operations CBRN forces deliberately man, train, and equip for UE, conventional forces have also applied similar constructs. conducting UE in a framework similar to the special-operations forces exploitation model further serve to demonstrate the compatibility of CBRN skills and UE requirements.6 According to Captain Ori Avila, "While deployed to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2010, the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), 5th Brigade (now 2d Brigade), 2d Infantry Division (5/2), Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, identifed the need to rapidly disseminate information to maneuver commanders to drive current and future operations."5 Because 5/2 SBCT CBRN Soldiers routinely performed duties that included confrming or denying suspect substances through analytical processes, leaders expanded those duties to incorporate a UE approach. The 5/2 SBCT reconnaissance platoon reorganized and trained for this complementary deployed mission. Platoon duties included evidentiary triage, document and media exploitation, biometrics, and other forensics. The results and success of CBRN Soldiers UE Activities and Military Mission Areas Summer 2013 In part, the UE construct serves to bridge the gap between tactical and sensitive-site exploitation. In addition, each of the eight combating weapons of mass destruction military mission areas correspond to UE core operational activities requirements (see Figure 3, page 22). Many of the core operational activity requirements are mirrored in multiple military mission areas. For example, the tools, techniques, and procedures that a CBRN professional uses to detect suspect materials during an interdiction operation may be nearly identical to those employed during an offensive or elimination operation. Similarly, dissemination is most signifcant when information is distributable and discoverable 21
