SIGINT
This allows commanders to tell people to conduct SIGINT.
SIGINT Operational Tasking Authority (SOTA)
Types of EW
Electronic Attack, Electronic Support, Electronic Protection
How junior enlisted Marines can be promoted faster.
JEPES score, belt up, mental agility points, be in shape and score well on PFT/CFT, take initiative, volunteer, don't get on a program that puts yourself on promotion restriction.
Draw the relationship between a SIGINT platoon and the higher intel entities.
Best drawing/response wins
The relationship between wavelength and frequency.
Inversely related. As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.
Communications Intelligence, Electronic Intelligence, Foreign Intstrumentation Signals Intelligence.
How do you obtain a fix.
3 Lines of bearing. Lob, cut, fix.
Where you look to find the difference between the different Norths on a map.
The declination diagram
The intel cycle, list out the steps.
Planning and Direction, Collection, Processing and Exploitation, Production, Dissemination, Utilization.
The fastest EM wave.
Trick question: they all travel at the speed of light, 3x10^8 m/s
Where the legal authority lies that allows us to conduct SIGINT.
U.S. Code: Title 50
Where the legal authority lies that allows us to conduct EW.
An effective process of orienting a unit on to a terrain model.
Box, Trace, Familiarize
The entity that acts as a liaison between the Marine Corps and the NSA.
The Marine Cryptological Office
The relationship between date rate and waveforms
The higher the frequency, the higher the data rate you can achieve.
You need this before you can access raw SIGINT.
Part of the Signals Intelligence Production Chain, on a validated SIGINT Mission (on a mission correlation table).
Technologies or practices that would make EA difficult to conduct.
Frequency Hopping, PACE plans for comms, comm windows, no reliance on the spectrum, directional antennas, etc.
Elements and different types of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force
GCE, ACE, LCE, CE
SPMAGTF, MEU, MEB, MEF
General Carter
Things that can disrupt communications.
terrain, weather, power output, foliage, form of wave you are trying to use
The series of directives that govern the United States SIGINT System
USSIDs
The difference between SIGINT and EW
Best response wins. Warfighting vs. intel, used in a more timely manner, retained/analyzed/produce reports, immediate threat protection, etc.
The location of all active duty Marine Divisions, Wings, and Logistic Groups.
Division: 1st (Camp Pendleton), 2nd (Camp Lejeune), 3rd (Camp Courtney, Okinawa)
Wing: 1st (MCAS Futenma, Okinawa), 2nd (MCAS Cherry Point), 3rd (MCAS Miramar)
Group: 1st (Camp Pendleton), 2nd (Camp Lejeune), 3rd (Camp Smedley D. Butler, Okinawa)
The formal questions that when answered inform a commander about a decision that he/she may need to make.
Priority Intelligence Requirement
Explain antenna gain and its uses.
Best response.
