Analytical Support Element (CHASE) within the 207th Military Intelligence Brigade–Theater
(MIB–T). Formed to enhance intelligence collection and analysis, the CHASE integrates CI

reporting quality. It highlights the importance of talent management, team integration, and
organizational adjustments, while addressing operational and administrative challenges. The
CHASE model emphasizes the value of experienced, motivated leadership and collaboration, serving
