With whom does the Counterfire Headquarters coordinate for sensor tasking authority to integrate assets proactively?

• A. It coordinates with civil authorities for sensor tasking.
• B. It coordinates with the weather service for sensor tasking.
• C. It coordinates with space agencies for sensor tasking.
• D. It coordinates with the division and corps intelligence officer for sensor tasking authority and additional intelligence capabilities to integrate assets proactively.

Answer: (D)

In counterfire operations, sensor tasking authority is handled within the military intelligence chain. The Counterfire Headquarters coordinates with the division and corps intelligence officer to obtain sensor tasking authority and to bring in additional intelligence capabilities to integrate assets proactively. The division/corps J-2 manages ISR resources, can prioritize and task sensors (such as radars, reconnaissance aircraft, and relevant intelligence assets), and coordinate collection across units to support targeting. This arrangement ensures sensor data is timely, fused, and aligned with counterfire needs, rather than relying on civilian agencies, meteorological services, or space agencies whose roles aren’t to manage battlefield sensor tasking. Proactive integration means sensors are positioned and tasked based on anticipated activity, accelerating target detection and fire guidance.
