Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 (4) The assessment of CEM below division and separate brigade levels will be limited. Their primary responsibility is the recovery, reporting the capture, and initial evacuation of enemy materiel from the capture location to the nearest collection point. Exception is for medical supplies which will be handled through medical supply channels. Significant items of CEM which cannot be evacuated, either because of the tactical situation or due to their size, will be left in place and reported immediately.
(5) Assessment of CEM at division and separate brigade level is performed by intelligence and operations personnel to the extent necessary to determine the immediate tactical significance of the materiel. Assessment at this level does not replace the need for detailed evaluation and analysis of CEM by technical specialists from the JCMEC. For this reason, the prompt evacuation of significant items of CEM must not be delayed. (6) Screening and preliminary field assessment of CEM is performed by JCMEC TECHINT collection teams. These teams will operate in the Corps areas and are attached (command less OPCON) to the Corps MI Brigade.
When required, these teams can also provide assistance to capturing units. Assessment functions are normally carried out at the Corps support area collection points. Items of intelligence interest or items needed to fill other requirements by the JCMEC are selected for evacuation. Selected items will be evacuated to the JCMEC, or a designated location, by collection point personnel through logistics channels. (7) Selected CEM evacuated to the CMEC is subjected to detailed examination and evaluation to— (a) Determine enemy materiel threats, performance capabilities, and limitations. (b) Produce information from which military countermeasures may be developed.
(c) Provide inputs continuously to the national and integrated S&TI Program in accordance with DIA and Theater policies. (d) Provide intelligence that can be of timely use to the tactical commander. b. Materiel Requiring Special Handling. (1) C-E Equipment. All CEM in this category must be evacuated immediately with their dial settings, frequencies, and so forth, and recorded and sent to the supporting EW unit by the quickest and most secure means possible. All such materiel will be evacuated to Corps support area collection points for screening by TECHINT and other specialized personnel. Figure D-2.
