Structure
The BfSB improves situational awareness for commanders at division or higher so they can focus joint combat power in current operations while simultaneously preparing for future operations. The units have the tools to respond to the commanders need from unmanned aerial vehicles to signals gathering equipment and human intelligence collectors.
Each BfSB consists of a Headquarters and Headquarters Company. Active component units have two military intelligence battalions, while the Army National Guard BfSB's have one. Each brigade has a Reconnaissance & Surveillance Squadron consisting of a headquarters troop, two ground troops (Troops A and B) and a Long Range Surveillance (LRS) Troop; a signal company (Network Support Company, or NSC); a Brigade Support Company (BSC). In 2012, the active component brigades started grouping the brigade HHC, the signal company and the support company under a Special Troops Battalion.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“It is difficult even to choose the adjective
For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.
The great structure has become a minor house.
No turban walks across the lessened floors.
The greenhouse never so badly needed paint.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
