Startup of the GEOINT Foundry Tactical FMV production course.

U.S. Army 3d brigade combat teams' (BCT) S2/ Intelligence Cells are now deploying to missions with Imagery Analysts (MOS 35G); Imagery Workstation Systems (IWS); and Shadow RQ-7 equipped Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (TUAS) platoons. The IWS has full motion video (FMV) data exploitation capabilities and the BCTs' Imagery Analysts are being tasked with providing Motion Imagery processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) support in conjunction with traditional Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) products.

While fielding the IWS and supporting BCTs during combat training center deployment preparation rotations, the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) 3d Military Intelligence (MI) Center's Foundry contact teams noted that the S2 Imagery Analysts had little or no FMV training/experience prior to their combat deployments. Based on this information and having the mission to prepare Army Intelligence Soldiers for their deployments the 3d MI Center initiated and developed the Tactical FMV Production Course within the U.S. Army Security and Intelligence Command's (INSCOM) Foundry curricula to satisfy this important requirement.
