This manual establishes the initial doctrinal foundation for Tactical HUMINT Operations. It provides the basis for the organization and structure of tactical HUMINT operations from peacetime military engagements (PME) to major theater war (MTW).
This manual is designed primarily for the commanders and soldiers of units conducting tactical HUMINT collection. It can also be used by commanders, staffs, and intelligence personnel at all echelons, and applies equally to Active Components (AC) and Reserve Components (RC), to include US Army Reserves (USAR) and the Army National Guard (ARNG).

Timely and accurate intelligence derived from human intelligence (HUMINT) and counterintelligence (CI) assets is critical to the military decision-making process (MDMP). Despite the array of intelligence sensors, recent operations have shown that a local population is a key element in most operational planning. The early and continuous contact by HUMINT collectors and CI agents with the civilian population is often the best source of information about the area of operations (AO). Understanding the capabilities and limitations of this collection system is vital to operational planning and execution in operations from peacetime military engagements (PME) to major theater war (MTW).
