CHAPTER XXIV
DETECTING CI TARGETS
INTRODUCTION:
The identification of CI targets are done through the intelligence
rules. A data base WITH a line and block box, used in connection WITH existing
black, grey and white lists, intelligence reports and additional information
from the police agencies, army and other agencies, provides us WITH basic
information required to identify the potential CI targets.
GENERAL FACTS:
A. Review the CI estimate to determine the hostile threat:
1. Identify those threats to security that are of an immediate
nature.
2. Identify anticipated future threats.
NOTE: The selection of CI targets must be based in an evaluation of a
complete hostile threat.
B. Identify the specific CI targets of the local area:
a. The CI targets are of interest due to the threat that they
present, or the usefulness to the Armed Forces. CI targets include:
a. PERSONALITIES (SEE FIGURES #2, 3 and 4): that could or not be
friendly or hostile.
b. INSTALLATIONS (SEE FIGURE #5): that represent a threat to the
national security.
c. ORGANIZATIONS AND TeamS (SEE FIGURE #6): that represent a threat
to the national security. Its threat perhaps is not openly detectable due to
their undercover operation methods.
d. DOCUMENTS AND MATERIALS (SEE FIGURE #7): WITH value to the
intelligence or the counter intelligence.
NOTE: Use the CI Work Sheet (SEE FIGURE #1) as the principal paper to assist
in the development of the targets:

LN324-91
3. Obtain information about the potential CI targets in the local
area:
a. Extract the local targets from the CI target lists at
national level.
b. Extract information from the existing Black lists (SEE
FIGURE #2), White (SEE FIGURE #3), and Grey (SEE FIGURE #4).
c. Extract information from the intelligence files, CI data
base, and similar files.
d. Obtain information from:
1) Civilian Affairs and Psychological Operations (G5)
2) Local intelligence units
3) Police elements
C. Categorize the CI targets identified by the specialty or function.
Examples:
1) Espionage agents
2) Sabotage specialists
3) Messengers
4) Camps or bases
5) Communications and link routes
NOTE: To categorize the targets in this manner, it is essential that the
history detailed information is obtained from the same source that was used to
identify them.
D. Assign priorities to the targets:
1. Determine the priority of each Target based on:
a. The threat to the national security that the target
represents.
b. The urgency or the need to neutralize or exploit the target.
c. The future capacities that await the target.
d. The capacities of the units responsible to neutralize or
exploit the targets.
222
LN324-91
2. Assign a numerical priority to each target:
a. The numerical designations are always expressed in roman
numerals (I, IV, XI).
b. The numerical designation emphasizes the relative importance
or the value of the CI targets.
c. The numerical designation expresses the level of interest of
the target.
NOTE: If a target has been assigned a priority at a level higher than the
Command, you at your level cannot alter this priority designation. The local
CI elements will assign priorities to targets locally developed.
E. Assign the responsibilities of the units to neutralization or
exploitation of each target:
1. Determine the capacities of the units to carry out
neutralization or exploitation missions based on:
a. Amount of personnel
b. Equipment available
c. Specific experience
2. Identify the need, if any, to request support from the
military police, infantry, national police, etc.
NOTE: The tactical effort, except in special cases, takes precedence over the
neutralization and exploitation of the targets.
F. Notify the units of their mission(s).

REFERENCES TO CHARTS, MAPS DATE:
_________________________________________________________________
KEYS TO CHART:
1. Target
2. Target classification
3. Priority
4. Localization
5. Team task
6. Team mission (Comments)
7. An administrative number that is written down in chronological order.
8. The classification identifies the target by type, name and provides
specific data for identification about the target.
9. The priority is designated WITH roman numerals and is assigned based
upon the target classification.
10. The localization will identify the place where you may find the target
or if this is not known, it is identified where the target was found the last
time.
11. The team's task of identifying the CI team whose mission is to
neutralize the target is based in the number of persons available and could
include tactical forces, military police and para-military forces.
12. This column is used to make a list of the coordination requirements,
communications, specific details of the mission or other specific information
required so that the team could fulfill its mission.
