Description
<p>Army Human Intelligence (HUMINT) Collectors perform interrogations, debriefings, screenings, source operations and intelligence liaison in all conflict phases in support of multi-domain operations at every echelon. HUMINT Collectors identify adversarial elements, activities, intentions, capabilities, and locations through the questioning of people in the Operational Environment (OE). They perform HUMINT collection in English and foreign languages. They question enemy prisoners of war and other detainees, enemy deserters, internally displaced persons, liaison contacts, friendly forces, people in the OE with a unique capability to gather information, and other strategic sources. HUMINT Collectors prepare, edit, and disseminate intelligence and technical reports. They use Army HUMINT computer information systems and communications equipment to address intelligence requirements and to gain situational understanding while planning and conducting HUMINT operations. They also utilize and manage interpreters when applicable. HUMINT Collectors use analytic techniques, tools, and databases to develop, execute, and assess HUMINT operations. The HUMINT Collector uses classified databases and publicly available information for research; they employ security measures to reduce signatures. They conduct coordination in English and foreign languages with host-nation and coalition agencies.</p>
