AOCIQT COD TEST 3 SOBS
Describe the individual positions on the SIDO team and their responsibilities. - correct answer
✔✔TARGET DUTY OFFICER--ENSURES DYNAMIC TARGETS ADHERE TO JFACC OBJECTIVES, ROE, NSL, RTL
etc
ISRODO--- CODS COLLECTION MANAGER/MONTOR ATO/ RSTA EXECUTION/CONDUCT INTEL GAIN/LOSS
ASSESMENT.
List the three key SIDO Team processes. - correct answer ✔✔1) Dynamic intelligence (which includes
threat warning)
2) Dynamic Targeting
3) Real Time Coordination and Management of ISR Effects
Identify the inputs and outputs used/produced by the SIDO Team. - correct answer ✔✔1) Some of the
Key Inputs to the SIDO Team include the AOD, RSTA Annex, Rules of Engagement (ROEs), collection
decks, Joint Integrated Prioritized Target List (JIPTL), Joint Integrated Prioritized Collection List (JIPCL),
ATO, and Airspace Control Order (ACO).
Other key inputs include briefings from around the intelligence community, weather briefs that may
identify issues for ISR aircraft, Liaison Officer (LNO) updates which may indicate issues with ISR aircraft or
PED, various chat rooms where intelligence personnel post important information, dynamic targeting
guidance, the log from day shift to night shift from the SIDO, various dynamic collection requirements,
target graphic requirements and the intelligence coming in from IMINT, SIGINT, and GMTI
2) OUTPUTS: The SIDO Team will also provide updates back to the ISRD, Strategy Division (SRD) and
Combat Plans Division (CPD) as intelligence updates occur and ISR operations change.The
OTHER OUTPUTS; SIDO will provide updates to enemy threat developments, status of ISR operations,
PED issues, ISE reporting, DT support, etc. as required.
Identify the functions of the PRCC Chief/Deputy Chief. - correct answer ✔✔Responsible for managing
day to day operations and activities in the PRCC
, Identify the functions of a PRDO. - correct answer ✔✔responsible for monitoring the ATO execution and
the status of all dedicated PR alert assets. They notify PR units on alert of isolating events to initiate PR
planning. PRDOs coordinate PR mission support requirements with other COD duty officers, specialty
team members, and liaison elements, as required, and monitor PR packages from departure through
recovery. They pass critical information to PR forces
Identify the three possible PR mission responses. - correct answer ✔✔Immediate- Immediate PR mission
responses generally use available assets that are in the immediate vicinity of the isolated person's
location, on alert, or can be expediently diverted from other missions. (MOST IMPORTANT)
Deliberate-When the threat, asset availability, current operations, and/or isolated personnel situation
precludes using an immediate PR response option in favor of more detailed planning and real-time
intelligence information.
Hold- A PR mission placed on "hold" status typically reflects a lack of confidence in the accuracy of, or
amount of, data collected on the isolated person's situation
Identify the recovery force selection considerations. - correct answer ✔✔(1) Activate Alert Forces-----
Alert forces can be activated to execute the PR mission if decision makers are satisfied the appropriate
execute criteria have been met.
(2) Divert Forces from other Missions----In some cases, forces assigned to other missions may be
diverted to affect an immediate recovery. This option can be applied when the diverted forces are
familiar with PR TTP and/or have conducted PR plan briefings as part of their primary mission, or the risk
associated with an ad hoc mission is considered acceptable.
(3) Location of orbits for support aircraft---- such as airborne C2 platforms, Air Refueling (AR), Electronic
Warfare (EW), and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft are often required to
support PR missions. Because these assets are normally employed in a standoff role, range and altitude
capabilities of threat systems will affect the usefulness of these support platforms.
(4) The tactics, training, capabilities, and limitations------of available recovery or supporting forces.
Interoperability and prior planning, training, and exercising of dissimilar recovery force assets is essential
to safe and successful recovery operations, and is always a relevant concern when selecting a recovery
force involving assets from two or more joint force components, multinational forces, or other
government agencies.
